Hmm... *sigh* Tried cherry-picking 1bae3afa6f0f322c142465af0f41db9fc3dc9d0e and got all excited because it seemed to work on the first try, seeming to fix the libsdl-DownloadFinished-0.flag issue... then I got all confused because it also seemed to fix the black screen on resume, and I couldn't see ...

"Point-and-click Adventure: A Novel" sounds like exactly my kind of book! I am looking forward to it I should clarify that my 30,000 words has been on the same thing I have been working on since August, so I am neither complying with NaNoWriMo rules nor meeting it's goals. Looks like I am ...

I have been digging though pelya's git tree looking for fixes that are relevant to those two outstanding issues This one looks relevant to the data files not being re-unpacked because libsdl-DownloadFinished-0.flag doesn't get deleted https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius/commit/1bae3afa6f0f322c1...

I passed 30,000 words last night! In celebration, here are a bunch of them: The back of the palace nestled right up to the craggy foothills of the mountains. Zig-zagging staircases were cut into the stones, some leading upwards to terraces in the foothills where there were other buildings, much smal...

Oh, *sigh* more problems. It looks like even though I got the new version of the APK installed, the rpgdir files seem to have not actually updated :( I am guessing that means that something is wrong with the "download" or unzip phase EDIT: I used the AndroZip file manager to manually delet...

It worked! After the privacy policy was sorted out, the 64 bit build and the 32 bit build were both accepted and are live on Google Play.

Thank you tmc for helping me through all this :)

Yay! That latest version was accepted for Crypt of Baconthulhu with target audience including 9 and older. I did not attempt to enroll in "designed for families" but I'll try that later.

Thanks for the help!

Okay, here is the new revision. it is mostly based on your suggestions.

I also added some w3.css magic to pretty it up a bit, and hopefully create the illusion of professionalism ;)

Okay, I can safely say that my first draft was not adequate. They rejected it. Eligibility Issue Privacy policy You must provide a link to your app's privacy policy on your app's store listing page.

Right, the max number of her definitions was raised, but the size of the reserve part was not raised.

I agree it is a good idea to add a bitset to allow hiring into the reserve, allthough I suggest implementing it in the current source code Bird, not in the 2013 source code ;)

That looks cool! This is GameMaker Studio, right?


Is that z-depth I see on some of those tiles? Will that have gameplay consequences, or is it just a visual style thing.

Oh, no, ha ha ha! Of course we can't move on! Google Play only supports API level 26 for another 72 hours! We'll be trapped here forever!!! Ha Ha Ha (But seriously, yes, the Mac thing sounds important. What is broken on Windows builds right now?) EDIT: oh, I see it now. Windows only "slices.bas...
