Slime Salad

And as a question about this club in general, would it be possible for us to have our discussions on the Review Forum? That way we could share screenshots and slime, would make for better analysis. Sorry to just spam and run, I realize that isn't very conversational. This is actually a pretty good ...

The next release is going to be huge. How huge? So huge. You don't even know. It's so huge that I can't even list all of the changes. Easily bigger than the custom rulesets release, except this time it's stuff you might actually use. Like maps: http://www.slimesalad.com/files/bariaus.png So many maps.

Pepsi, I think if there's one thing you take away from this discussion, it should be that the game needs to do a better job of explaining its interface. This can be accomplished unobtrusively: for example, once the player starts walking around for a few seconds, if he hasn't pressed the shift key ye...

I've only touched GM a little bit, but I figure someone here will be interested to know this. http://gamemakerblog.com/2013/11/25/gamemaker-studio-standard-edition-is-currently-free-50-value/ To get your license, you need to download and install GameMaker, then select Beta and update. Kind of confus...

Yeah, would've loved to know that a week ago

Hey, how's it going. So apparently, I took down Mega Tact for everyone who wasn't me... since, like, a version ago. I only noticed this because I accidentally logged myself out while making some changes. It's working now, but for future reference, this is the kind of thing that would be really nice ...

I expect that the majority of the users don't like Google+. This is bad reasoning for several reasons . A small minority of viewers leave comments on any given video, and a small minority of those comments address Google+. It is very likely that the vast majority of users don't care about Google+.

Maybe this isn't what you're looking for, but I really have to question the purpose behind level scaling to begin with. What's the point of having either heroes or monsters level up if they're just going to both scale?

What's coming in v0.9? Glad you asked! http://www.slimesalad.com/files/mtact09.png "Hey, what happened to my Mega Tact?" Don't panic! What you are looking at is the "wide view." By default, the width of the battle pane will remain the same as always, but you can click on the but...

All of the things.

Don't forget, though, that this is a version number, not a number number. 0.8 is followed by 0.9 is followed by 0.10 and so on until it gets a major version bump.

There is a non-negligible chance that 1.0 will follow 0.9, though.

If you've been reading along in the 0.7a thread, you have a good idea of the new features in this release. The biggest one, which I didn't plan for at all , is that you can now play against the AI. However, the other brand new feature that was never mentioned in that thread is that you can also just...

But then you'd have to write reviews of the reviews, and before you know it the universe has imploded and you're to blame.

The first fully-automated Mega Tact battle is now complete: http://www.slimesalad.com/fft/index.php?Fctn=3&id=111

Needs a few more tweaks, but it's functional. Coming super soon!

The Christmas contest used to be one of the community staples (right behind the Halloween and 48hr contests, but ahead of the other half-dozen annual contests (no one ever got anything done outside of contests back in the day)), but it hasn't been attempted recently. I probably won't be entering, bu...

Ah yes, that
