Slime Salad

I'm not taking that lying down!

(But, first I need some sleep)

If you go to Search and scroll down you will see some of the tags games have been tagged with (but uncommon tags don't appear there). Unfortunately the action-puzzle and action rpg tags have hardly been used. But there are these more interesting tags to look at: Arcade games Shooter games Sidescroll...

Yes, I would be concerned too. Total number of slices, number of slices onscreen, and number of slices you're manipulating with scripting each tick, are all important (they contribute in different ways to CPU time). And different amounts would be reasonable for each of those. Guessing here: approxim...

OK, OK, I get the picture, we need better attack and attacker movement patterns. Hopefully we will be adding more soon, but first will be working on splitting out the animations from the movement patterns. I think that an over-arc animation wouldn't really look correct for half a boomerang loop, but...

The titlescreen that you showed off was really intriguing! I don't really get how this game fits the 'meta' theme, but you didn't really explain that bit, if you have much idea at all. A map which is dynamic ("fancy slice stuff generated on the fly") could be a really nice aesthetic. But i...

We're just not sure when TMC is going to stop promising, and start delivering! But stay tuned ;)

kylekrack's script will work. But there is actually a builtin command to show a prompt to edit a hero's name. It doesn't allow you to enter a blank name, but it does let you cancel by pressing ESC, in which case the name isn't changed. Actually there are two commands, "rename hero" takes t...

In future, it would be nice if the graphical browsers displayed large previews (eg a whole textbox, or a summary of attack attributes) in a pane to the side when running in a large window.

Ah, great. This reminds me that I wanted to rewrite the Search function in the textbox editor to work incrementally (like help page search), but now I can happily put that off... forever? :)

Awwww crap.
We killed it.

Well, I was never one to respect deadlines...

it is not carried over in saves, so you need to store it somewhere else and load it whenever the game is loaded. perhaps if you use a global variable for each name/monster? Strings can be saved in save-games. They're not saved by default, to my surprise (I probably forgot to make it the default). S...

I hadn't heard of Burger Time before seeing it in this thread. It seems like a nice game, better than the majority of those innumerable early Donkey Kong-style platformers (isn't it great that fads die?) So it's a great idea for a minigame. Seems to be working well!

What you're looking for is the "room in active party" command. You could edit the formations with a script. But for more control you can do it manually, creating different formation sets for differing numbers of heroes, and pick one with an instead-of-battle script. You could use switch bl...

(I said this already, but) Congrats to Foxley, and all the contestants who turned something in! -The text boxes weren't too difficult to set up, but I like how they turned out. They're obviously missing a lot of the stuff the built-in textboxes have [setting of tags, giving of items, and so on] but ...

I'm amazed!


Fnrrf: the text on those notepad pages is very low contrast. It's even lighter than the ruled lines! I definitely recommend darkening it. But, nice idea.
