Yeah, there's no handling for victory or defeat yet.

The world 1 demo is now available... mostly. You can't cast spells, though the only one you'll learn in world 1 is Heal, and it's completely unnecessary (though its absence may cost you a death or two).

Next on the to-do list: Spell animations and shops.

Hey guys, I have a script that increments a global variable twice by 3 each time. This variable starts out as 0. Once it is incremented to 6, it is divided by 3. Two should be the answer, but the script that checks that math always returns false to that statement and I'm not sure why. Here are some...

I'm pretty sure I never actually "learned" A*, despite having implemented that algorithm several times over. One thing to add is that you can give different weights to different tiles. For example, let's suppose you have a swamp tile that you can walk through, but it takes twice as long. Y...

If you used cellular automata would they have a depth state and mostly ensure smoothness?

Take a look at this article. It's intended for caves, but would work just as well for lakes.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest perspective, I expect to see visible damage done to foes as the fight progresses! That would be cool and entirely possible, but it would require a significant investment in new graphics, which is not what I'm looking for right now. If anyone feels like doing a graphics up...

The lakes are shaped a bit oddly. What's your generation algorithm? I'd be inclined to do some cellular automata for lakes and maybe have a chance of generating some streams on top of that.

Time for a dev thread. In case you missed it, I'm porting/remaking Do You Want to Be a Hero? in HTML5. The new version will feature everything in the original and then some. http://www.slimesalad.com/misc/images/wip/hero-walk.png You can play the walkabout demo here for now, and it's pretty much wha...

No.

I'm sorry; you're right. Reversing these screenshots has utterly and irrevocably ruined them.

Then again, you're the one making announcements on April Fool's Day.

It feels like I should be able to jump onto the ledge in the room with the cactus golems, but I couldn't find any way to do so. I wanted to jump onto the chandelier. Carrot demons would feel a lot better if hitting the shield gave a 1px knockback. The stalks in the caterpillar room look out of place...

Thank you.

But I can see from your banning threat that you're past reasoning with so I guess I'll just ignore any further posts from you. Telling someone to give up and leave, whether in jest or not, is not acceptable behavior. If it sounds like I'm past reasoning here, it's because it doesn't matter at all w...

There's nothing wrong with being a janitor. Second, it was meant to be over the top. This was to highlight the fact that the post was more than a little ridiculous. Which you all clearly agree with, so I can only assume this is blind janitor hate. You've got to be kidding me. There's a reason you c...

He essentially said "don't be a jerk" to no one in particular. If you feel like you were being called out on it, then that may have something to do with your ridiculous "there is an actual need for me to be a jerk" stance. Criticism is appropriate. Harsh criticism is often warran...
