I finished the draft of my novel this morning! It clocks in at just over 62000 words, and I am quite happy with the shape it is in. Now to read the whole thing from beginning to end. And figure out a title. Gotta do that. It has come too far to be named "Untitled Novel" 100% of it was type...

I second this fine proposal!

Other possible modes of celebration:

* Posting photos of ourselves baking things that wouldn't survive being mailed to New Zealand
* Adding secret shrines to TMC to hidden areas in our RPGs
* Taking a long walk and not thinking about games at all, in his honor
* Cake!

This looks very cool. The style of the different types of text seems fitting

Not really, not if you intend to use the standard battle system

I do like the idea, and I think it would be a nice feature to add in the future, but we don't currently have any implementation plan

So I just re-tested, and now libsdl-DownloadFinished-0.flag IS being correctly deleted on an upgrade now??

I am not sure what changed!

I was able to reproduce success twice.

Both times were on a 64 bit wandering hamster apk on an Android 8.0 phone.

I double checked that the symlink from ~/src/ohrandroid/wandering-hamster/tmp correctly points to ~/src/ohr/wip/android/tmp so it *should* be trying to compile the same files I gotta break this bad habit of partial build logs ;) Here is the whole thing: http://hamsterrepublic.com/tmp/text/makeapk-20...

I was going to try to start working on this, when I discovered that even though distrib-nightly-android.sh works fine for both 32 bit and 64 bit builds, misc/makeapk.sh is failing on both with this sort of error: https://pastebin.com/raw/sRMMNtTC Most of it seems related to gif/png/jpeg support but ...

... A look at adb logcat shows why: libSDL: Settings.Load(): loading settings failed, running config dialog (I only knew to look for that after looking at Settings.java) This causes DeleteFilesOnUpgrade() to be totally skipped because it can't check whether it needs ...

I went with weeks instead of months because I'll almost certainly need to do the release on a weekend. Those goals sound great :D "Gorgonzola" sounds great to me. It doesn't feel obscure to me, but after consideration, I think that was because when I was a teen I really loved the Monty Pyt...

A bit off-topic, but this reminds me, a feature to swap heroes in the middle of battle could open up some fun possibilities, and maybe might be easier to implement than increasing active party size

Gorgonzola stable release planning thread

I say TMC and I will pick what we agree we like best, but we are open to any suggestions. Codename mu...
