Slime Salad

Charbile, you say? [Yoko Taro] is keen in experimenting with the video game format, feeling that many conventions of the video game market inhibit developers' creative freedom. Many of his games reflect his own feelings about death and his socratic questioning of the concept. ... Because the concept...

I don't think I need to say much except to say it's great to hear you've turned things around like that. Stay positive and at peace (don't self-deprecate) at the low times in life too; you've now seen just how much you can improve your lot and reinvent yourself.

Yes, that's a lot higher priority than TTF support (which I'm not actually working on at the moment, though I do want to work on font stuff soon). Try: set opacity(lookup slice(sl:map layer2), 50) where the "sl:map layer2" constant is the map layer y...

I'm amused that there's a game called "Hamsterok", but that takes it out of the running. "Heuristic" might be the first codename ever suggested that appears in the engine itself. (It's not obscure.) With system font support? System font support: never (that's not portable), TTF s...

Yes, if "true to Latin" were a criterion, nihilipilify/nihilipilification is more of an actual-made-up word :) Should that be "Hurdygurdy" or "Hurdy-gurdy"? And why haven't I heard of these before? I was hoping that Fenrir would turn up and make a suggestion... tmc: soo...

Always great stuff posted here! I went back and replayed Don't Eat Soap. Are there any new enemy movements/types in Burpin' Bros? I remember that Eat Soap used to slow down a lot with about 20-30 bubbles on-screen, but the engine has gotten faster. The fog looks nice. Is that two map layers or one? ...

Ah, you did some more on that crazy thing, whatever it is! (A description maybe?)
It looks intriguing but I'm not sure whether it's aiming to be a game, or a Dwarf Fortress-level simulation.

Can transparent map-layers be moved around? (Charbile used something like that to make water tiles for something) Yes. for all purposes they behave normally. You're thinking of Char's lovely home , which had two scrolling wrapping map layers moving in different directions, underneath the "grou...

Time for another stable release! We are once again attempting a release every three months, which means this one is a mere month late! Gorgonzola has more bug-fixes than features, but it's notable nonetheless :) Download links are here Highlights: * An impossible dream in the DOS days, transparency!...

Well they need to start by declaring that they're entering, which they should do in the main thread!
But it doesn't matter to me where they make the request. Up to you. I think I got a number of requests in Discord last time too.

Yes, that's the release-blocker bug I mentioned in my last post, which is fixed in yesterday's nightly.

I'm going to offer HeartBug feature requests or bugfixes again, since James can't. But I still haven't done the huge majority of requests from last time (oh, don't look! It's embarrassing!), so I feel bad about making the offer again. However I still intend to implement the 2018 ones, and soon (exce...

Wow, there's a surprise. Either an attack bitset or global bitset "Don't randomize Extra Hits" would be simple to add. In fact we already have both global and attack bitsets "Attacks ignore extra hits stat". So for consistency two new bitsets ought to be placed next to both of th...

I don't know when it'll be, but I think the only thing holding up a release is an Android build problem, and James not having time on weekdays. Since the release candidate was declared I've fixed approx 41 "bugs" (quotes because the majority are trivial, but I fixed a bunch of crashes too)...

Ah, sinc. I've never used it for anything myself. Now I'm keen to try out Lanczos (or other finite filter) on pixel art and see how it actually performs for that. But I'm still concerned that while you admittedly need interpolation for shifting, it's not really want you want for scaling or rotating....
