Haha! Those screenshots look cool. Do you have a gameplay video?

Since you are making this with Unity, are there any plans to do an OUYA port? I understand porting Unity games to OUYA is relatively easy.

Ah, Unity. Looks like I cannot play it. Unity games can be packaged for Linux, and Unity games packaged for Windows work great on Linux with Wine, but the Unity Web Player doesn't work at all on Linux :(

Can you post some screenshots?

If I recall correctly, Pepsi had already started Entrepreneur, and was already using most of the available plotstrings before text slices existed. I can understand why he doesn't want to re-write all of that. But yes, I agree with Mystic that the best way to deal with string display is to do it all ...

The limit of 8 layers is not just an editor limitation, that is also the most layers that are supported in-game. You can't exceed those limits with plotscripting. Some games already do use multiple layers to simulate the appearance of being able to use multiple tilesets in what looks like a single l...

Yesterday I tried to post a youtube comment for the first time in many months. It caused my browser tab to completely freeze up. I had to eventually give up and close the tab without commenting.

I haven't re-played this week, but since I have been a playtester I have been able to play this game fairly often. There is a lot to see. Whenever I play I focus on trying to make as much money as I can. This can be a real struggle. Scraping together the cash to buy better ingredients and equipment ...

Just go into the Game List forum and add a new topic. You will see a box at the bottom fro adding attachments, where you can attach the game and the screenshots. I think the preferred format to upload is definitely a zip file containing your RPG file and a renamed copy of game.exe. You can export su...

Just noticed in the newest nightly that an in-app purchase feature has been added, but all you can do right now is add you OUYA name and nothing else. Yeah, still super experimental. I hope to work on it some more this week. In addition to the OUYA support, I am also planning an Paypal-Honor-System...

The thing! It goes around my head, left and behind and right and around in front!

Have you thought about adding some kind of extra beat in the background?

What music tools are you using to compose it?

If you need to work with multiple copies of the same hero ID, you can loop through the whole set of hero slots, and check the ID number in each one using the "hero by rank" command
