Slime Salad

I like both of these tracks, but I prefer the first one considerably more. I can see it coming at the end of a pretty harrowing cut scene where something shocking happens and the heroes are about to unleash vengeance on the enemy. Nice job.

Mogri, if you're reading this, is there any chance you could sticky this thread? Not that anyone will forget about this contest any time soon, but it would be nice if incoming newbies were made aware of it as soon as they check the forums. The more people we have submit entries, the better.

Thanks.

Although I have one- probably dumb- question. I'm redesigning the dungeon that was already released in the demo. It'll be larger and different and all, but does it count as new, or slightly old? Hmm, that's an interesting question. Does it add new to the story? If so, how much? Obviously, if you're...

Thanks, James. Hopefully we'll have enough contestants this year to make your life difficult. ;) BMR, I'll echo what Baconlabs told you. You can release your game in any playable state, but it is a smart idea to block it at a reasonable cut-off point if you have the beginnings of a second act but no...

Just to reiterate important information about the bug bounties, you will need to get your requests in early if you're to expect a fair response. At some point it will be too late to request them, so start thinking about what you want to see the engine fix or accomplish soon. James will eventually ha...

Heart of the OHR Contest 2012 Edition Yes, the time has finally come. Congratulations to those who have been waiting for it. A Brief History as Written in 2010: It seems that as times change, interests start moving in new directions, and the things that first captured our hearts and attention about...

I kind of feel the same way about the hunger/thirst system as MSW does. When I first read about it, I wanted to say something, but something else overtook my focus and then I forgot about it. My feeling is that it could be okay to use if you've got the kind of game world where that sort of thing mat...

Hey BMR, I'm not sure how many NPC ideas you've got worked out, but I did write an article for HamsterSpeak a few years ago that may help you figure out your movement needs and NPC functions. It breaks down 25 NPC types, including the complex ones you're trying to create, and gives you information o...

Meow, the official contest rules will make it clear what's acceptable and what isn't. I'll post them on June 1st. As far as bug-fixing goes, you're free to make minor changes and repost as many times as you want as long as you do it within the contest window. No game is officially entered and locked...

Dramatic reveal aside, how long is the contest? From June 1st to August 31st? Close. June 1st to November 30th. If you're reading this message and I've contacted you about supplying a prize, please respond to me as soon as possible so that I can compile the prize list. If I haven't contacted you, b...

For kicks, why don't you try teleporting to map in one line and then set hero position in another. I wonder if it's hanging on a bad teleport line. You may also want to try changing the coordinates to something farther from the map edge. It may not fix anything, but it's not like you have anything t...

Yes, that beating of a heart. It's getting louder. And drawing closer. In 11 days it'll be too loud to ignore.

On June 1st, the Heart of the OHR will be center stage.

Are you about ready? It's about ready for you.

variable(10pctmoney)

Just wanted to jump in and say that variables can't start with numbers. The first character has to be a letter. I discovered this the hard way a few months ago. It shouldn't affect your math issue, though.

Not exactly true. I'm pretty sure you can have shops set a tag on when you buy something, and you can also check the inventory before and after each shop visit (or even just the player's money total). Well, yeah, I thought I sort of implied the inventory check with part of my answer. Checking the m...
