Slime Salad

My turn? (just now added Graffiti Goose, sorry for the delay) 1.) Return I really like this game so far. The backgrounds are very early to mid-'90s DOS shareware in appearance, which I adore. At first I didn't understand what QWAS did but then I unlocked one of the abilities and was like "whoa,...

Thank you for mentioning that MOVE was confusing, I hadn't even thought of how it could be mistaken for directional movement. The idea was push/pull consolidated in the same command. I might just make it PUSH instead. Edit: Also, yes, there is very little to do, you probably didn't miss anything. I ...

This is my contest entry for James's One Month Mouse Click Contest. I had plans to have more stuff done within a month but starting a full time job and struggling to learn scripting and slice stuff slowed me down. Still, it was a great learning experience, and I hope to finish this up soon.

I'm getting the most infuriating, headache inducing, wtfareyougoddamnedserious slice handle errors from LITERALLY absolutely nowhere trying to implement an NPC/monster. I dunno. I'm going to # out the script with this NPC and just ship it. I need to be up early for work tomorrow, I don't have time f...

I'm gonna have to throw in the towel on implementing a few things I wanted to get done today. I'm just too tired to concentrate on getting them done in the next hour and a half. The movement system is fully working so you can at least wander around and check out the different rooms, and read some of...

I was so preoccupied with working on this game that I left a frozen pizza in the oven for probably over an hour. Totally forgot about it 'til I went out of my room to use the little boy's room. Good grief. At least it didn't cause a fire.

A peek at a monster sprite I drew up a little while ago.



Also the sprite in its early crappy looking phase:

I think I'm just gonna forego working on scripting GUI and mechanics stuff at this point, and just try to get some drawings and content put in so the game will hopefully be somewhat enjoyable for people to try out. Only 8 hours left!

I was actually thinking during this mouse click contest how much easier a lot of things would be if slice collection slices could be controlled with tags. The main thing I'm still struggling with is getting a system of removing a slice that's an object that can be taken/removed/destroyed without cau...

That sucks! Feeling up to redoing something you were literally just doing takes time, in my experience. Unfortunately there's only about 36 hours worth of the stuff left. May I suggest doing just linework/shapes with flat colors and moving on, so you don't feel too stuck on it? Also if it makes you ...

Amazingly enough, I've managed to get a fully functional first-person system working so far. Stayed up kind of late last night making a decent looking HUD command highlight script. Movement and room layout is working, text is working, inventory and item interactions are working. I plan on implementi...

To be honest, I didn't even expect it to work when I tried it!

That's the desktop Amazon website. That and the Amazon Shopping app are very different. Getting search results for Ruin and going to a URL on the desktop website is cake; for me, finding it with the app has been a no-go. Why? I have no idea. I do wish Amazon had a feature of sending apps to your pho...

By the way, I would suggest also adding
to the plotdict.xml example for making the mouse cursor, in the same while loop as "put slice (mousecursor)". I tried it and it works great, mouse cursor always stays on top of everything.

Aaaand that did it. Thanks!
