Slime Salad

Oh, nice to hear from you again, Shakeyair! Have you been working on more than a Ludum Dare entry? The OHR has a lot to learn from engines like Unity. Our scripting system is very hobbled due to only having a few script triggers such as each-step instead of attaching event handlers to objects like N...

Oh, this is awesome. Very professional setup. So pleased to hear it's a success. What did you have on the pamphlets? For those wondering, the reason I suggested making changes to the guard-avoidance minigame is because I was such a bad player that I got stuck on it, stubbornly trying to cut corners....

A Confused mechanic is certainly doable... but how should each of the target classes be treated? You really only described the "Enemy" target class. And even then, maybe it should only affect attacks for which the player manually selects (or confirms) the target or the enemy AI picks a tar...

What kind of missing data did you see? Did it happen while you were, or just had been, in an editor for that type of data? I have idea about what the reason for missing data might be, although your report is only the 2nd only I've received. When does the game hang? Randomly at any time? When trying ...

Yes, you're fine with grid and scroll slice. You don't actually need to use "set scroll check depth" because it already defaults to 'infinite' (0). Hmm, I see that the plotdictionary doesn't explain that... Note that the only difference between container and scroll slices is that scroll sl...

Maybe you misread 2016 as 2018 :)

Perfect, you can take a break at the water cooler. So you're no longer using enemy appear+dissolve animations for that giant... totemface? Also, I'm messing with new sprite dimensions to give guys really long arms. Really took me by surprise as a functioning use for oversized weapons. I had been won...

I'm investigating a complaint from BlastedEarth that since a while ago when using the Test Game option in custom.exe, it always fails with an error like "Error communicating with game.exe (couldn't connect)". After studying the code for a while, I've determined it's seriously wrong and Tes...

Whoops! If you mentioned it, I missed it. Pretty serious!

FyreWulff, Charbile and myself, being verified newbies unbiased by the feuds and alliances that have historically sullied many a popularity contest, are clearly best-placed to form Team RPGHeroes and draw the lines of celebrityhood for a new era! (Black marks placed against our names by back-room be...

I've noticed that variably sized NPCs flash on the wrong location for about a single frame when you enter a map before snapping to the correct position. OK, this is now finally fixed, together with the battle stuff I mentioned and also a bug RMZ complained about, where large hero sprites are mispos...

Oh, hey, the ads at the bottom of SlimeSalad pages are gone. Mogri decided to ditch them?

Were you planning to continue to sell them on KS after the campign is over, as a storefront? Are you actually raising money needed to develop or manufacture anything, or are you just using it for sales?

Or, maybe just isometric tiles... The guy who's working on that tool has put up an initial website at https://www.pixeljoy.io/ for it, but it's not available yet. However, he did link to some other tools. There's http://www.crocotile3d.com/ which costs $10, but what looks really awesome is Sprytile ...

Yes, that graphical style is great! You can take advantage of the time saved by such simple graphics t oadd lots of variety. (Lots of empty white space would be bad. Also I strongly recommend using a bright grey or other shade instead of the brightest shade of white possible.)

You can view a game's scripts. Open the game in Custom, go to Script Management, and select "Export scripts backup copy". Then use a text editor to open the exported files. That may not work for ancient games, which didn't include a copy of the scripts. Also, there are some useful scripts ...
