I would also like to ask Pepsi Ranger - I have realized that there might be a slight loophole in the story later on in the game if I leave this demo as is. Can I add a bit of story to the end of the demo? It's practically nothing; a handful of textboxes, and maybe a small 1 minute 'scene' showing w...

guo, technically your game is short of the 30-minute requirement, so if you can get it to 30 minutes during the grace period, I'll accept the additions. Besides, you already have the maps available to the public, so I don't see it being that significant of an upgrade. Fix what you need to, to get th...

I wrote a reply to this thread yesterday, but I was at work and didn't copy my text before my lack of cookie killed it, so I'll do my best to say again what I said yesterday (and more): Hey, my computer died and I just not got a laptop and got my game online. I'm uploading my game regardless, and I'...

Okay, I hope I'm answering everyone's questions. Ask me again if I didn't respond to your specific question. to make sure this is within the rules, here are the things I plan to add within the two week 'bug-fixing' window: *fix any bugs I find, naturally *fix any other problems I find as well, like ...

Okay, guys, I've been up long enough, so let me give you a heads up about what to expect next. First off, I want to thank everyone who submitted an entry. I really didn't know what to expect from this contest (honestly, when I announced it last summer, I didn't think anyone would take it seriously)....

During the bugfix period, can I do stuff like... write the credits? Whatever you have to do to make your game feel complete. The only stipulation is that you can't add material for the next chapter (or, you can, but you can't make it accessible until after the contest is over). Powerstick Man! *get...

To officially kick off the Heart of the OHR Contest, I'm releasing an exclusive preview of my hopefully-summer release The Adventures of Powerstick Man: Extended Edition . The demo is the 99% upgraded version of the original game with all the new extended maps, extended battles (well, different batt...

Preview--Heart of the OHR--Powerstick Man XE

To officially launch the Heart of the OHR Contest (2010), I thought I'd release another limited preview of The Adventures of Powerstick Man: Extended Edition . In this version, you can play all the way to the original version's ending, and still experience all of the new tricks, mods, and so forth. ...

So I'm going to assume that 11:59PM GMT-5 on the 30th is the deadline? Maybe...I set my deadlines for 6am EST, so whatever that works out to. Keep in mind that this is 6am December 1st. That's about when November 30th will be history in all time zones, and when I expect them to be uploaded by. You ...

The conclusion is that I'll make you guys sweat it out a little more... Nah, just kidding. I think I have enough people in favor of keeping the original deadline that there doesn't seem to be a need to extend it. However, I do traditionally allow bugfix windows, which I've been about 60% sure I'd do...

Figure any word that uses the same first and last letter with mostly similar letters in the middle will at least resemble a word that the reader would already understand, so implementing a dialect that's a little off-English isn't going to be too difficult to read through. I agree with Baconlabs tha...

In other news... it's looking like I'm going to have to drop Okédoké! out of the contest. There's just no way I'll ever get enough of it done before December to justify coming out with a new demo, and I really don't want a demo of Chapter 6 to end with partially-completed maps of the final dungeon ...

Just a friendly, but pointed and somewhat frantic reminder that we only have 20 days left to wrap things up. This would be a good time to script your demos' endings (whatever they could be) and spend the next three weeks completing and polishing what you already have. To reiterate what JSH summed up...

Easily my favorite cover art in ages. The whole Mega-Manish act of creating character art that misleads from the real in-game character was brilliant, and it made me feel nostalgic. Excellent job. I also loved "James Fixes a Bug." I've often been curious about what it takes to hunt and fix...
