Slime Salad

Okay, release has happened! Release thread here: https://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7959

This stable release was a bit late! But it also has a lot of good stuff in it! Highlights include: * Games can be played with mouse or (mostly working) joystick * Spritesets and backdrops can be any size * Hero counter-attacks * Hero MP meters * Graphical browsers for sprites, attacks, enemies, maps...

I tested all four dmg files: Fufluns x86_64 Fufluns x86 Wip x86_64 Wip x86 All of them run on the nightly build box I tested that "Test Game" runs on all of them. I did Show "Package Contents" on each and wasn't able to spot anything missing. I use the awkward "About This Ma...

The release date will be a superposition of 11 and 12?

Yup, that seemed to fix it. Thank you! All the release builds are now uploaded to http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/archive/ and people can start testing them. Tomorrow I need to fix the script that sets all the symlinks on the web site (It is missing support for the 64 bit Linux and Mac builds) A...

yes, I am building the release on the nightly vms. The pdbs still work for wip nightly, and I have no idea why.

EDIT: I'll check the dll files

Windows release builds fail with the following: C:\Users\james\src\ohr\rel\fufluns\win32\relump.pdb: cannot load PDB helper DLL scons: done building targets. "ERROR: build result win32\game.pdb is missing. Unable to continue." ERROR: Sanity test fail...

I don't plan on blocking the release for this one, but I spotted a couple oddities in the scons test output Test #17: implicitlyReadonly... Pass Took 13 �s Test #18: killDir... Ignore 1 error: killdir: '_testfile.tmp' is not a directory, it is a file. Skipping. Pass Took 30 �s Test #19: killFile...

Okay, I am calling this release candidate stable.

I'll start working on the stable release now. Might actually be ready by tomorrow, we'll see!

Looking good so far for a release this weekend

You know what? Giving an enemy the option do a fast short effect like that when being hit might look really nice

Okay, those look amazing :D

Progressing nicely! I passed 50,000 words on January 1st, and I have nearly figured out how my ending is going to work, which one s a milestone I am excited about. Endings are hard!!

What are you planning to write this year?

You can remove the purchases menu in the menu editor. Also, maybe I remember incorrectly, but I thought it wasn't supposed to be visible unless at least one purchase is defined (if that's not the case , I'll add to my list of things to fix)

TMC just super-punched the remaining release-blocker bugs, and that means we are celebrating the new year with a release-candidate for the next stable release! Here is how it works: * Please test the current nightly builds! We need your help confirming that they are stable! * If all goes well, the n...
