Slime Salad

Actually James recently added an option to the Platform Options menu called "Touch Textboxes" which causes the buttons to be hidden if there is a textbox onscreen. He might still be tinkering with it. A way to have the buttons hide after a delay when the screen isn't being touched sounds l...

That's cool. The review on indiegames makes me want to play it. How does one get mentioned on kotaku and IG?

Nice work putting that list together. I note that you called the Winter 2008 list "Winter 2007". I've had an extensive look around and discovered that a few of the Top 30 lists which JSH ran between 2004 and 2007 and hosted on his website which were thought to be lost are in fact on archiv...

According to my diary, today is "Show Day", a public holiday in Northern Tasmania so that everyone can attend the Royal Launceston Show

Reminds me of one or two old DOS games with a search command that told me to go search every tile of a desert until I found a required item...

...an experience I've been wanting to replicate ever since

It depends on the audio backend . music_sdl (which is the default on all operating systems) has a limit of 8 sounds playing at once. However this limit is completely arbitrary and is trivial to increase (the limit it not due to the SDL_mixer library that music_sdl uses). I can do that if you want. T...

Wow. A nice surprise to see that you two are giving it another shot; welcome back.

That webpage shows as a blank white page for me (using Firefox), though it tries to load something for a while. Other wix.com sites work for me.

Here is an example of how they look on a 7-inch tablet: <img src="http://james.hamsterrepublic.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=37176&g2_serialNumber=2"> The exact size and spacing might vary slightly depending on the size of your phone or tablet. (and of c...

Ah! I forgot to check out RELOADspy because I was way too busy at the time. It looks good. I suggest making long strings (string node values) wrap instead. Moving from GC to SF is unusual; normally people move in the other direction. But on the other hand SF got a major overhaul recently. Anyway I n...

Excellent idea; this can be incredibly useful. How about submitting your game to people to do Let's Plays, reviews, or write blog posts? For example, if you have a worthy game and would like to see it on the front page of http://www.tigsource.com/ , ask Rinku, who is an editor, and has posted OHRRPG...

Welcome! I haven't played that game, but the screenshots Gizmog included in his review are wonderful and it's great to hear that there's a lot more planned. Although you can get plenty of help on the forums with one-off problems it sounds like you should find someone to team up and handle the script...

Could you explain why it's necessary to have a wait in a while loop if I want the script to keep running while the game plays? If it's too complexed or tedious to explain don't worry about it. I'm curious and knowing the answer will help me remember to add in a wait function for cases like this. Sc...

Nice track!

Roboman, did you have any problems with using the OHR for a game in Hungarian?

First of all... between the new "Alphabetical" sorting mode and about 40 spare font character slots, I've been able to get the autosort to arrange items pretty much how I wanted them to go, and all without breaking save files or redoing the font so that I'd have to go through and fix item...
