Well, I wasn't planning on supporting round columns at first, but since you've got them, I guess I should; I think it won't be more complex, just more shadow tiles and drawing patterns. But really it's only a difference of a few pixels for the position of the shadow, assuming the columns are 20 pixe...

After writing that post here, I decided to actually implement the shadow casting algorithm inspired by Cyberdogs which I mentioned. I had wanted to put together a (mere tech) demo to join in with the spirit of the impressive games released for Christmas. Well, that didn't work out. It turned out to ...

That's what I came here to say! http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgame.php?t=5459

I think Mogri might have had diagonal walls in one of his games as well...

I would start with slipping around corners as well, but maybe that wouldn't as nice a final result

Line of sight and shadow casting aka field of view are two different things. LoS determines whether two points (eg the player and a guard) can see each other. FoV determines which points/tiles are visible from a single point. LoS and FoV may also take into account the direction you're facing. If you...

I'll see if I can fix it so that it is not needed. Terminal_Wrapper.sh should only be used to bring up a Terminal window for the user to see. I would guess that running open on a URL (via SHELL or our wrapper) would open a web browser in OSX; failing that an AppleScript script could be used to tell...

This sounds like two completely different questions. If you want heroes to absorb 100% of the heal element most of the time (-100% damage), but have equipment that changes that to a positive value, then you either need to use the "Combine resistances by addition" hero elemental resistance ...

Cool!

Now has a "good ending" and a "bad ending" depending on whether you save-scum

Huh, I thought that the original version of the game had this too. It asked for confirmation before save scumming, didn't it?

Cool, thanks for the tip. I'll throw those onto the bottom of a long, long list of games to play.

More nice stuff, but difficult to critique. I couldn't so I asked my sister. She suggested much stronger shading. I agree that the highlight colour you used is so close to the main pink/red that it'll be almost indistinguishable when zoomed out. (Nice hue though.) Consider that you're using a lot of...

Cool. Was that an event mainly for professionals, or more inclusive? There was a game developers conference here recently, but the talks didn't sound appealling and didn't justify the price (looking back over the programme, mostly F2P, mobile or post mortems).

Looking again, I guess I must have misread the image again, and those non-ice covered tiles at the top really are a wall (afterall, snow collected on flats, not on walls). I suppose they're also a wall at the bottom, which I assumed was an area of ground because the pillars look like they're standin...

I'm in the same boat as James as I don't have a working Windows installation (even my VMs died!), but wow, those graphics are very nice! (The tail rotor on the helicopter seems to be missing though, and the main rotor looks rather small) But I wonder whether you wouldn't be better off with a larger ...

Sound effects that all seem to be equal in volume when recorded, equal in volume when played back, and then equal in volume when tested inside of the Import Sounds menu are suddenly vastly different in-game. Some sounds barely make any noise at all! Are you using Windows and the default audio backe...

Dang Pheonix! You're a heroic spriter! I have to admit to some confusion though. The square tiles at the bottom look like a floor, while the same tile used near the top o the image looks like a wall. I didn't even realise that they were the same tile at first. Assuming the bit at the top is actually...

Awesome. I haven't tried this yet, but I should. I've never played FFT, so it's been a bit intimidating, but these instructions should be sufficient to do something.
