Mr. Triangle's Adventure has zero documentation on update changes so I assumed the worst and omitted it. If someone wants to vouch for significant content changes, I'll add it. I know RMZ released it officially in 2015. I wouldn't recommend watching the whole thing in one sitting, as there are many...

Didn't Mr. Triangle's Adventure get a huge release in 2015? Also, "Design Documents" really shouldn't be on this list. There's nothing to review. It's a design document. That's like reviewing a forum post. No need. Sorry I didn't get that version of Powerstick Man XE uploaded on the night ...

Wow, this game brings back so many memories--happy ones, of course. Please make the other mini-games. In fact, please make more Game & Watch games. This one's perfect (and as hard as the old games were). Solid job, guys. EDIT: Oh, and it would be cool if you added the "watch" in the &q...

So what's preventing you from uploading it to dropbox or a similar site, then linking it here? Basically the same reason I won't link the playtesting version here. I don't want to redirect my game to an outside source. I like a game list that actually has the games it lists, even if they do come in...

Exactly fifteen years ago (on December 30, 2000), I submitted the original version of The Adventures of Powerstick Man to Operation: OHR for upload. What followed was a strange mixture of cult status and prolonged development time for its updated version(s), punctuated by various editions, controver...

The Adventures of Powerstick Man: Extended Edition

At the end of 2000, a superhero emerged from a chemical vat and marched his way across strange lands to thwart evil and make his way home. At the end of 2015, he returns to fight again, in an adventure that's basically the same as before, but much bigger, much badder, and much storier than before. A...

It's actually not as ambitious as it seems (I don't think). Most of what I've described is justification about how to plan for your holiday, or more realistically, how your annual budget affects your end-of-the-year spending. It's a layered system that affects the challenge so that there is a challe...

This was my idea for the Christmas contest that I have no time to design and compete for this year, and the second half of the idea I had for a game I worked on with Royal back in 2002. If you guys don't do this, I probably will eventually , but if you're interested in it, I'd be interested in seein...

The problem here is I lack many skills. High school dropout here... In fact, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I've learned about coding and such in general was gleaned entirely from looking at the Bob the Hamster and Vikings of Midgard script files. I don't even know where to start teaching myself...

Cool. I know I've asked about A-star multiple times now, but I find it's easiest to understand unfamiliar code when someone more skilled does it (and explains it) first.

Staying in the Know

Hey Guys, So, I've noticed that discussions have fallen by the wayside around here lately, and given that my own participation (and even my lurking frequency) has dropped significantly this year, I can see that spending even two weeks away at a time does not reveal the message blitz or produce epic ...

CHGPAL doesn't consider degrees of color needed for lighting or shading Not sure what you mean by that, Pepsi. All I can say is that it simply examines the old palette, and finds a 'best match' in the new palette for each color in the old palette. The rest of the code simply applies that, with a sm...

The pathfinding is A-star pathfinding implemented in plotscripting, and using fake arrays made out of invisible slices Is the code you displayed part of the A-star pathfinding, or is it just part of identifying the tile as a valid move location? If it is, can you break down the parts? To me, it loo...

Interesting Article

The creator of RPG Tycoon has released a blog about his experience at the EGX 2015 (Electronic Games Expo?) as a brand new indie developer in the commercial market. I thought it was an interesting read, in that it gives you perspective on what you can expect (and shouldn't expect) at an event like t...

That looks great. Excellent job on the animation.
