Slime Salad

Thanks for the numbers, interesting to see them. Also surprised that the 'review' is just a rating, not a review. That would probably be a power-law curve, not a bell curve, actually. It just occurred to me that the blurb for the book gives almost nothing away about quite the sort of novel it is. Th...

There isn't any bitset like "Pause for attack animations"; as far as I can see (without looking at the code) there's no feature for this. Also, for @TMC I tried including your script in my battle script, but wouldn't it make every other enemy unfightable after one battle? You need to turn ...

Great! I didn't realise that a single review could make that much of a difference -- I would have thought that the number of reviews would be very important for rankings.

Sadly I haven't yet found time to read Cannonball City or anything else with this looming deadline.

Awesome; I'll grab it too!

Huh, what bundle was it in?

Wow, I didn't know that. The attack editor is REALLY misleading though, as it displayed the delay as "X ticks (Y secs)". But what about active-time battles: when does an attack delay allow other attacks to get scheduled in between? Always, or only when you turn on some of the bitsets? As f...

The battles stacking up happens much more when the slug and the trashman reach you at the same time, but I think I saw it also when only one of them was in contact with the player. Yeah, the whole messed up attacks thing is very common, but nothing seems to be able to fix it. When you put the delay ...

Whoops, I guess I didn't see that because I didn't test with all enemy sizes.

Oh, interesting! Not what I was expecting. I notice a lot of scripts can stack up when you bump into an enemy, meaning you have to fight them more than once. There are a few ways around that. The simplest is to just turn on a tag when you're about to fight a battle, and while the tag is on, all NPC ...

I was working on something else and noticed some suspicious code related to map wrapping so investigated this (by coincidence I was about to do so anyway). I would have saved myself some time if I'd immediately gone back and reread your post here; thanks for it. In fact you had already worked out th...

Firstly, this is a really interesting experiment and game; I'm keen to see where it goes. I haven't yet played around with it much because I haven't had the time, but the fact that all the units are balanced (or at least intend to be), and quite powerful (compared to the average chess piece) does se...

By the time I uploaded Bad Boy it was well into Jan 1st here. Plus lots of baking and cooking, reading sci-fi (Asimov's Foundation), working on the OHR.

Congrats!

Special request: could reviewers remember to rate the games on the SS gamelist after playing them? Ratings are kind of meaningless until lots of people have rated each game. Looks like Hawk has been conservative in putting together the lists this year, after the usual complaints about too many non-g...

Oh, I had thought the "watch" part referred to watching it play itself, like a demo mode. I starting adding the time to the idle screen before deciding it wasn't worth the time... but I guess that's a pretty simple addition We might actually implement one of the other three minigames, sinc...

15+ years! A remarkable milestone.

If it does get uploaded (and I think you really should have something more recent up than the ancient version), note that despite the unfinished content, this game probably still has more complete content than any other OHR game. But yes... beware bugs.

And the prize goes to... sheamkennedy ! After noticing that Mogri wrote "Make a game about football players, but all of the actual football is automated and takes place largely offscreen." and not "Make a game about managing a football team..." we nearly decided to make a strange...
