Slime Salad

I'm entering. I haven't decided a stage order yet, but I do know that it will also be an entry in the Flavor Text Adventure Contest , because I always like to enter every contest simultaneously! I'll be in Australia from August 7-21 and won't have too much free time, so I hope to not have to do grap...

Well, if it's a proper design doc, then it could be stage 1. I think that the person responsible for stage 0 and 1 will probably provide guidance even if it's not in the form of design doc. For example, they might write the story, but leave the next people to decide what type of game it is. It could...

Depends on what you mean by 3D. Wolf3D-style 3D is theoretically possible, or so I hear :) More practically, you can create first-person dungeon crawlers. Examples are Festivus and Labyrinthilium by Pheonix, Valigarmander was working on a game and there was a tech demo by Sephy. There may have been ...

Well, I was talking specifically about stat-gain items (OOB attacks). I think setherostat(..., maximum stat) should still take into account percentile equipment when translating down into changes to the base stat. If it didn't, the max stat value would get set to something other than what you specif...

We could just add documentation to setherostat letting people know that modifying maxstat is incompatible with percentage equipment buffs, and that they should setherostat with basestat instead By incompatible, you mean "rounding errors will result in your stats mysteriously changing"? I ...

So, "NPCs + Dialogue" would be a stage then, not just "Dialogue"? I'll be entering, but will post later. I first have to decide what sort of game and which stage I want to start with. I think I'll try to provide direction for the game through the stage order and whatever the firs...

Well that's settled then. I suppose first all fixed bonuses should be added, before all percentile ones. And that this has nothing to do with the future buff system (although in future there could be an equipment bit to make it provide an automatic buff rather than permanent stat increases). Luckily...

(Not that it matters for nominations, but a number of those games don't seem to be on Android anymore... including Tim-Tim, surprisingly?) I'll continue nominating games not on SS, since this is a great proxy to a top games vote, which we haven't had in a while. That said, I also don't want to overw...

Agreed with all that.

But it looks like we can't start on the 23rd, because the contest isn't even announced yet? Or is the 23rd when sign-ups start?

Well, CP hasn't been updated (by its admins/mods) in most of a decade. Few people are even aware/remember that they're allowed to post their own announcements on the news page (Soapbox), and noone uses it for that anymore. I probably said it before, but because I missed the first four years of the O...

This is an excellent idea! A list like this is just what I've wanted. How many games do you want to receive this honour? I think there are an awful lot of games that deserve to be recognised for stand-out quality. But you want just the best of the best? You did seem to state a third criterion, but d...

It doesn't work for me either. Maybe this was broken when the forum recently switched from http to https? I can't think of any other reason.

As a workaround, you could download an avatar from the gallery and then upload it as a file. (I don't know if uploading works, didn't try it)

Hmm, this does sounds vaguely familiar; I think I've seen it before. To fix it you would run "chmod +x reloadbasic/reloadbasic.py". reloadbasic.py translates a DSL embedded in the source code to regular FreeBasic. However, creating a 64-bit build with Callipygous (or Callipygous+1) doesn't...

Hi there!

No idea. Were you trying to upload a file, pick an avatar from the gallery, or upload from a URL? If uploading, are you sure it met the restrictions listed on the profile page?

It's already great as it is! There's something magical in the emergent behaviour of slimes clamouring over each other to reach you or dancing around a ring of stones. You can set your own goals, like hide and seek! (I don't think James has released/linked to it? You would want to play it too, if you...
