Thinking a few in the npc filled areas.

What's a box funded area? You're taking funding?
I take it that the game still doesn't really have a backstory. But you can still flesh out the setting of a game without adding a backstory by putting objects into it that tell you more about the places you're exploring, such as by putting furniture in a home to show it's lived in, or adding some artifacts from a previous event like a broken door, or a sign giving directions, or an axe near some cut trees, etc.
Or you could decide to just focus on the gameplay rather than exploration

I'm not sure why my phone typod so badly but I meant npc filled areas. Not box funded.
I corrected my post.

unrelated, but I figured I'd post it here anyways;
I updated my website!
Hurray!

That reminds me, my Mom tells me she still plays Slimeomancy often. If you ever make a sequel, she will be thrilled.

I'm planning a slimeomancy sequel
I may get RMZ to update the graphics and such.
I haven't spoken with him about it at all yet though.

That would be nice! I'd really like the see the level editor become a bigger draw - I hope we can make it easy for people to share the levels that they create. The editor was brilliant, but I think the engine needs to catch up to support that kind of feature.
Someone pointed out in a comment that the Cat In Box download link is wrong:
https://spoonweaver.blogspot.co.nz/p/cat-in-box.html
The blog pages for the games don't have all the links that the front page of the site do.
I see the twitter and email links in the page footer go to your resume instead! You've got a working twitter link in the header
I'm curious, do 000webhostapp.com not allow using your domain name (spoonweaver.com) other than as a redirect? I guess they charge extra?

Ha thanks
I'll try to fix all that soon
And yes, it's an extra charge. The site really doesn't get enough attention to warrant the extra price.

I'm not at that point yet, but I'll keep you in mind.
I'll honestly likely do a "public" slimesalad testing before launching on steam and such considering the number of people that have already offered to playtest.
Assuming this project ever gets to that point

Depends. Do you want to be able to boast that you worked on a game for five years, or are you going to give up on that and complete it early?!

Instead of a picture I decided I'd post a snip of code this time.
Will it be as exciting? Unlikely!
Do I care? ...well yea I care.
EDIT: I'm actually mostly posting this because I did the scripting on the go and I'm using slimesalad to send this to myself.
~I already sent it to myself in a PM, (more than once). I'm just being paranoid with the number of times I'm sending it.
And I dunno, figured it might be neat to see? ...maybe?

Now I am really curious to see this script in action :)

This doesn't compile, right? It shouldn't.
On the other hand, lava is always good.
