Slime Salad

Will a game not make the grade if it's not difficult enough? Or is difficulty less important than fun, careful planning and execution?

Ugh, at first I thought the 'findhero's looked odd, but I mistakenly convinced myself they were correct by looking only at the 'setheropicture' calls. It's so easy to mix them up. When we add types to HS I am going to be very pleased to get rid of the need to remember the difference between hero IDs...

I know, but silverlight is dead, and it's a bad idea to install because browser plugins are major security hazards. Also seems like a pain to install on Slackware.

Heh, enter cadaver? Each-step scripts trigger when the heroes are moved by script commands too. I can't see any reason for the scripts to not work. But as Spoon said, if some other script is getting triggered on the same tick that could prevent it from working. I would investigate whether the script...

I've noticed that bug before but forgot about it. (like some of the other "keep old sorta buggy behavior" bitsets that exist now), rather than removing it altogether. Yes, existing duplicate NPCs won't be affected (besides, it would be way too much work to fix those and not break saves any...

I don't understand, particularly this part:

If you post scripts I can tell you why it's not working.

So now it will not use out out date nightly builds for packaging if it can't download an update to date copy? That's a good thing; at the very least there should be a warning for that case.

I actually didn't even realise that those grey patches were meant to be metal (I really wasn't paying atttention). One thing to note is that reflective metal looks different to most other textures because it reacts to lighting differently -- in 3D rendering terms, the lighting is composed of a diffe...

Actually I think you can make him appear to be less in the foreground without shrinking or moving him. Just change the position of the pit he's standing in so that it's level with the heroes rather than way in front of them. Hatchet job: <img src="http://tmc.castleparadox.com/pics/fg4-1024x639_...

Sanity requires ignoring the incomprehensible, especially bugs you're responsible for,

Hey, it certainly is.

Not that the beatboxing was bad, or that you didn't manage to get everything to gel reasonably well, but that beginning with the organ had me expecting (and hoping) for something more dramatic and quite different.

So does distributing a Mac app work now?

For the priority queue.

Say, weren't you going to release scripts for pixel based movement? Or for a custom text system? :)

Dang, I thought I might be first to come up with fanart

It would be nice if some wrote a review of Spy Game that we could link to. The game page for Spy Game is not exactly exciting.

The way mine works is to start with the x,y coordinates of the destination (in your case, where you have clicked) and then have the x,y coordinates of the searcher (in your case, your main dude). Next you radiate outward from the destination, assigning increasing values to each tile as you fan out,...
