Slime Salad

Stellar; that desert backdrop certainly looks like it's out of a final fantasy, and it's the plainest thing on show. It's kind of creepy how that couch just faces a large candle. Real exciting nights. Hmmm... I'm seriously considering buying some Hell Monkey Hot Sauce. I could do with more hot sauce...

Welcome! That option was moved to the Appearance & Sounds submenu. Unfortunately, when something is changed in the engine, generally the tutorials and articles on the wiki aren't updated immediately (or ever...) - there are so many articles to update! So the menus often look pretty different to ...

No, the argument to renamehero should be the hero ID: "rename hero (hero:Mamoruko Yamada)". (If you have multiple copies that that hero in the party, it renames the first one). "me" is a constant with the value zero. Using it is no different to writing 0. I usually double-check t...

A theme or other requirements restrict and drive people towards a game design. The beauty of the circle contest (compared to other large collabs) is that one person is solely responsible for the overall game design (or however designing is split up). So you don't have to have an 8-way committee meet...

Done,

and Done.

Here's another idea, related to the circle collab idea: revive the Competitive Collab Contest ! It had two halves: in the first people drew graphics, and in the second, we were going to make games out of them. Well, the first stage was never declared finished... so if the contest is revived, I guess...

I think some people would enjoy the intro contest, though they haven't turned up yet. It's basically a sequel to the OHR Film Festival Contest we had a few (yikes... make that 6) years ago. However I don't think it's for me. Working an existing game is really an inverse-intro contest: instead of cre...

I guess you could draw box borders externally, but the way the edge pieces are places has a number of quirks (especially for very small boxes; smaller than textboxes), so a real preview in the sprite editor is needed. I started adding it, but got distracted...

Another request: allow embedding videos. Youtube supports two styles of embeds: using an <iframe> (either html5 or flash, according to the browser) or using an <object> (flash). However, SS doesn't allow the <iframe> tag. And if you click the 'embed' button on a video, you're given only the iframe e...

Yes! One way walls are fully implemented (with the exception that they don't work with the map editor tools like Box and Paint yet). Press W in the wallmap editor, place it on top of an existing wall. Yeah, that's a pretty interesting idea! I wonder, what can be done to make it into more than a lock...

Yes, when there's no weapon equipped, the hero's Default Weapon is shown in the Weapon slot instead. You can't unequip it as it doesn't actually exist. Create a weapon called Unarmed or None and set it as the default. Strangely, I see that if a non-weapon is set as the Default Weapon, then the hero'...

I didn't see the same symptoms as you -- there was no permanent screwup -- but I did see some very nasty visual glitches when switching a game. Turns out it was due a workaround for a zoom-changing bug I added in 2010. So I removed that workaround; the fix is in current nightlies. However, I forgot ...

Noted.
By the way, if your want your old user account back, PM Mogri.

That was a typo, James meant ${S#} to embed a string. The headmistress can only be reached by a ladder? Does she look like an old and powerful witch/spellcaster? Well, she does have a robe and grey hair. I just noticed that your textbox is shaped like a scroll with a wax stamp and ribbon! Rather unu...

Oh, so there were updates posted about the game. I'm not too surprised that I missed them.

According to the blog for their new game, they've been joined as game-making duo by Rebecca's husband.
