Slime Salad

Funny that you should ask. Simply use the "Standing Strike" attacker animation, implemented by James a month ago. Only in nightlies. Next!

Wow, really? The weeks and years weld together into some kind of yeek so that everything seems just a couple yeeks ago. Welcome back. I can't imagine you missing anything important. Well, there was the 30 Day Challenge recently. Or maybe currently. Worth seeing the art posted in there. Callipygous w...

You sure know how to sell a game! GameJolt seems like a nice place to host a game? Looks like the set of games you've hosted there is disjoint with the set you've hosted here, for some reason. Oh, so you know Spheroidal Defence? I see that he made the first Grapnes, is he involved with Grapnes 2?

Oh, yeah, it's definitely best to use Z. Note the Z position increases upwards, while Y [s]decreases[/s] (edit: increases) towards the bottom of the screen. # Makes the hero jump in an arc and move so many pixels in the X and Y directions script, shroomJump, x total, y total, begin suspend player pl...

I think the problem with activating NPCs is that the hero becomes misaligned, because the hero moves 44 pixels in the x direction. Here's one modification that should work better: variable (i, jump, startx) jump := -5 startx := hero pixel X (me) for &a...

Yes, if heroes and NPCs can't walk in front of them then that's pretty simple! I guess actually even in the case that you can, you can use two map layers and a script to draw or erase mushrooms on the topmost above-darkness layer as you get close.

Having the mushrooms appear above the darkness is very difficult because: -you want darkness to be above all normal map layers, and above NPCs -you want the mushrooms to be above the darkness -you want the NPCs and heroes to be above the mushrooms (and heroes and NPCs are attached to the same walkab...

This bug is already fixed in nightly WIP builds of the next version . Beware that if you use a nightly build you can't downgrade your game to Callipygous or Callipygous+1 afterwards. Your other option is to wait for Callipygous+1 to be released. Which is hopefully tomorrow. The only nightly build of...

Holy moly! The Recent Changes page was only showing the last 50 changes, so I missed your huge amount of other work too! Fantastic! I like the visual approach you took to showing things like the parts of the sprite editor GUI. And the fact that the screenshots are 1-2 decades more recent than the ol...

Cool! That's not too hacky; I think it's pretty practical. You're going to have to edit your post to repost the script, and this time tick "Disable HTML in this post". It mangles < and > in the script without that. Now that you changed from "read zone" to "zone at spot"...

Actually, kylekrack was suggesting just displaying a slice collection behind a regular menu. This is completely optional, but once you have a slice collection like that you can run a script which modifies it depending on what menu item is selected. That's easy to do using select slices; you can use ...

Hah, it finds crazy stuff, like debug logs on pastebin and computer-generated blog posts that look a lot like they're based on something mentioning the OHR and translated from Portuguese.

Haha, that's probably a good idea. When everyone's dropping out, the motivation you get from wanting to stick to what you said you would do (announcing your intentions) disappears.

The fact that it doesn't recognise -z indicates that you're on Windows and using the default backend, gfx_directx (ie gfx_directx.dll is present). In that case resizing the window by dragging on the corner should work (you have to pull it far enough that it snaps to the next largest/smallest size). ...

Are you using a 1280x1024 monitor? I am, and found 2x zoom uncomfortable (too small to see the details in pixel art) so changed the default window size in the latest version. But everyone has different preferences and I don't know what the majority opinion is, and it also depends on what the game is...
