Slime Salad

Sadly, and most unfortunately, it looks like I'm dropping out of the HotOHR. Too much real-world work piling up that needs to be accomplished, and I have to devote most of my time to that. Sadness. Ah well, such is life.

Was bored, so spent a bit of time working on this: http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r552/ld2i/Pixel%20Art/cyberpunk_zps7b3e490f.png Prolly not going to use it anywhere, just felt like making something cyberpunk-y. Could use a bit more work, but oh well. If I ever decide to do something more with ...

I'll chime in as well to say that there's no slowdown. All of my maps, even the really big ones, use all 8 layers, and each one tends to be filled with stuff. No slowdown ever noticed.

I'm pretty sure that's what you'll have to do, sadly. It will indeed be a lot of work, but you can reduce the amount you'll have to do with some clever scripting. Each spell won't need a unique script, just the same one (or same few) with different arguments.

It's still pretty spiffy-looking, I like it. Could use with a bit more definition, but other than that, pretty good.

That's pretty much exactly what I did. The zones that is. Specifically, I used four zones, one for just above the door, one for the top half of the door, one for the bottom half of the door, and one for just below the door. That way, I can track if the player is opening the door from the front (goin...

Some of the collab or contest games could be added. That spy game thing where you disguise yourself as the other npcs springs to mind. As does the other one with the time-loop and the evil sorceress or something. EDIT: <a href="http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgame.php?t=6032">Spy Game<...

Also, what does he do all day?

It's an awesome world, truth be told.

That's a pretty spiffy piece. I like it.

Sounds fun. I'm <i>prolly</i> in, but we'll just have to see how things turn out.

Well, still a lot, but compared to say, something like the Breath of Fire combat system, a tactics engine, roguelike combat (and pathfinding), or (heaven forbid) something like Tales of Phantasia, it would take comparatively less scripting. Still a lot though.

Well, if you're working with slices, you could use <a href="http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/doc ... tline">set outline</a>. I don't think there's a way to do it with default text though.

I don't think there is. Maybe it'd be easier to just do a custom battle thing? I'm guessing it'd be fairly easy to do with just menus, text boxes, and backdrops. I could be wrong though, and it might be far more complicated than that, but it looks like it could be done with a relatively small amount...

Just checked out TWINE, looks pretty neat. I've used <a href="http://www.inform7.com">Inform</a> to do similar stuff in the past, but TWINE looks like it could be slightly easier to use. I'll give it a shot some time.
