I have been playing the updated version. The fix to ceiling collision helps a lot. The frustrating jumping puzzles are now more the "dang this is hard!" kind of frustrating, not the "dang this is buggy" kind of frustrating. The First boss is barbecuing me alive! But I think I can...

Well, I'll try your method real quick to see if it's any more efficient. ... There is no command that says simply "Export". The only possible ones are "Export WAV", "Export MP3", and "Export OGG". After choosing any of them, there are no more options to pick,...

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I guess it is moot now since you got the old sound recorder moved over (cool!) but just in case you are interested, here is how to do it in Audacity. Don't mess with the project sampling rate. As you have discovered, that affects the speed of the recording. ...

I noticed another little bug. If you pick "Continue" at the title screen, but have never save before, Tim-Tim starts on a blank map. The docs for the "load from slot" command were a little vague. I will update them. That command only ends the current game if the load succeeds. If...

if there's anything else you think could be done to improve the game please let me know. Oh, I thought of one thing when I was playing-- now I have only got the first spell so far (which I must say makes a *very* satisfying noise), and I don't know what other spells are available later, but I thoug...

I resolved the crash problem I was seeing. it was an engine bug, not a problem with your game. I played for a while last night, and I enjoyed it. I didn't get very far. Not to the first boss yet. I liked the fact that MP was a limited resource, but I agree with the others that it was a little too li...

It crashes for me every time, right after the intro finishes. I think this is a bug in the engine, not a bug in the game. I have filed <a href="http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/bugzilla ... d=714">bug 714</a> and I will investigate further.

In Audacity you can reduce the bitrate of a wav.

Although personally, I would just save everything as ogg, especially if this is to import into your game.

Yep. Looks like the rating is out of 5.

Looks like each of them has only been voted on by a few people-- probably half of them people who go "wat teh hek? tis is not 3d! fail!"

Ah. Interesting.

I mainly asked because "T" and "Y" are adjacent on the keyboard.

Thanks for the clarification.

Probably a case of people judging a book by its pixelated cover :(

I guess anybody can add a rating, right?

Also, if anyone knows of a better ( shareware ) animated gif makers, I'd love to hear about it. I use <a href="http://gimp.org/">the Gimp</a> to create animating gif files. You just paste all the frames into one image as layers, and choose to save as a GIF. The Gimp tells you that it foun...

thanks guys, i've downloaded GIMP like everyone suggested. you're right though James, there is so much i can do with it that it's a little overwhelming! i'll have to explore the program a bit and see what all it can do.
