Slime Salad

I'm also impressed with the new graphics. It's all looking great.

BTW, I'm not dead. Let me know if you need that scripting finished for a release.

Hi, welcome.

What is the pure-programmed game you mentioned? Is that further along? A previous version of the same game? A different game set in the same universe?

Cool. Congrats to Shiz and Harlock! The results weren't quite what I was expecting.

Did anyone else notice that almost everyone who made the Top 15 did so with two different games? Wow.

I'm an awful person, because I chose my list weeks ago but didn't post it as I wanted to write more comments. Oh well just read what JSH said; I'm in surprisingly close agreement with his opinions. 1. Sword of Jade The re-release with sound effects and new music should be great. 2. Adventures of Pow...

Not arcs, not parabolas, no, Bezier curves! Haha. Actually, drawing ellipses is more complicated than it seems. To calculate a parabolic projectile path correctly you need to work in 3D space. I wonder whether it wouldn't be better to have the projectile move a bit faster (to speed up combat) and I'...

Nice work! It's coming along nicely.

The title screen sure looks great.

Aside from changing the direction characters face after they attack, I suggest making characters automatically turn to face their opponent when they walk next to them, as it'll look more nature.

Huh? That code was remove in Dec 2010. Why not read the up-to-date SVN source instead?

The new way to access the RELOAD editor is via the SPAM menu in Custom (type 'spam' at the main menu).

FreeBASIC is case-insensitive.

Yes, it can. But the OHR doesn't even have sane internal APIs for loading all data formats. Some stuff is still stored in int arrays instead of structs. It's just not designed to expose that, with all kinds of messy static caches and lots of dependencies. A much better possibility would be to use Jo...

Call it Airship 1984: A Space Odyssey

Oh, actually raising the NPC limit isn't as straightforward as I thought, as evidenced by the second script that James posted. I wrote some thoughts about that on the wiki. Anyway, to provide an alternative answer to Willy's question, which was aimed at the map editor, I think the easiest way to acc...

Could you post a copy of the palette?

Haha. RELOAD is a building block that much of the rest of the engine builds upon; implementing it is required for a lot of other things. But a GUI tool for viewing RELOAD files could be quite useful in its own right, and end users could realistically use it as well (though I can't think of many uses...

I wouldn't agree with that; they rank different things. And hey, that way we can have two polls a year. Actually I'm pretty indifferent.

Would you consider allowing people to vote for more than 15 games? I started putting together a list and got to 30 easily. The problem is that you might not have a large overlap between different people's lists if they are too short (eg only 1 or 2 people voting for the game in 15th place). On that ...

I believe that the version on CP is indeed the last official release, ending on a ship. I guess you're looking for a copy that White Owl sent out to some people before he disappeared two weeks after releasing the CP version, with more maps after that.
