Re: Banner Saga being sued for using the word Saga in it's n

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=755651 Looks like Universal Wars will be reverting back to its old name in light of this. It looks like trademark bullying tactics. They are very unlikely to win such a lawsuit (IANAL but I am guessing around 0% chance) so they will only send letters lik...

Your enemies are all so interesting, and fluid in design. I absolutely love it! So, your game appears to be plant based, huh? What kinds of enemies do you intend on having at this point? Looks great, James. The animations are flawless, and I love the little leaf jibs that break when the trees come ...

Very nice! If you're looking to improve the enemy AI a bit, I'd recommend having them start their attack early if you're running up to them. This would lend a little variety, since at a glance, it appears many of the enemies are dealt with by "run in, swipe, run out" tactics. You'd still ...

Oh my! He should have just left that soap on the floor :( I don't have an good testcase for it, but that SEEMS to be what was going on. Scripts that increased the "hidden" stats seem to work fine, but don't actually alter them in any observable way. Try this: at some point after the hidden...

-> Found a (unconfirmed?) bug that prevented player stats from being increased when they're hidden too. Since the endings are called based in part on the player's stats, I've changed the coding to instead record player responses as global variables. If you can confirm this, then it sounds like a bu...

Haha! That looks wonderful!

I broke out in a huge smile as soon as I saw then climbing sideways along that rope.

I have been talking to tech support about the problem where everybody gets disconnected and then nobody can reconnect. In order to rule out connection problems they need the output of the mtr tool running at the same time as a minecraft session that suffers the problem. I am hoping that I can collec...

If an isp started charging users extra for access to Netflix (which as James said, this isn't about) it would be financial suicide and millions of people would flock to the competition and the fee would be dropped. This would certainly be true in almost any other industry, but usually there are onl...

<r>There is a lot of misunderstanding about the Net Neutrality thing. Almost every headline I have read about it misses the point in one way or another.<br/> <br/> This isn't really about internet providers charging us more to see Netflix at full-speed, a more likely scenario is that they would slow...
