It caught my attention when I first heard about it, so your post got me curious. I picked up the Bundle; I'm glad it has several of those games that had also caught my eye in the past but I never got. I played through a little bit of it last night. It's definitely the perfect unwind game if you're h...

As usual I'm behind the times. Roger Rabbit made no sense, but it was sort of interesting. It was funny that Ed Valiant could get killed by a walking pair of shoes. Some of the item uses were really bizarre, but it's sometimes fun in a Maniac Mansion kind of way, I guess...? It wasn't that fun at al...

How does the special weapon option work? Are you presented a menu to select from all the special weapons you've bought? Are they one-use each? Yes for the most part. You can buy unlimited numbers of special weapons, so in that regard your usage is limited only by your funds. But yes, selecting SPEC...

Okay, I posted Part 1 of a new story called "I Like Pigeons." Feedback is welcome. I may put some other things in it later, like scores, personality tracking, and so forth.

This was fun.

How did I not know about this? I'll have to write something now.

So books never really evolved, people still read books with no awesome graphics or visual effects. These text-based tomes are still vastly popular by everyone young and old... Some publishers are trying to evolve it with the Vook, but yes, that hasn't exactly caught the mainstream bug just yet. In ...

The best way to get a greenlight for games that look similar to something small and old school is to create a demo version and an alpha or beta version (that you can sell for a couple of bucks to those who want more) and link them to the steam greenlight page so that people can find it. Games like T...

Once again you've got my curiosity, RMZ. I actually would be interested in testing the game for you, but I'm not sure how devoted I can get to continuous long-term sittings. Maybe toward the end of summer, I could sit down and give this thing a complete run in relative short time. Feel free to e-mai...

Both were. But I'll concede Entrepreneur after the next update is released (well, after the v1.3 update more likely). I'd like to get a couple more chapters finished before I concede Tightfloss Maiden.

Maybe I'm missing the point of this thread, but would it be so hard to index the placement of things? I could see this improving the accessibility of map design if we had markers for specific objects and the attachment of the coordinates to those markers once they're set. If every element in CUSTOM ...

I would actually be fine with using slices for weather if I thought there was a sensible way for locking it to map coordinates rather than screen coordinates and producing the weather locally for specific sections of a map, which can drift and dissipate based on the need of the map (I'm sure there i...

I'm also curious how you managed to use all 8 layers... Do you actually need 8 separate layers or are they really functioning as 2 or 3 layers with very large tile-sets? I suppose it's a combination of both. The two maps that use all eight layers (and could really use a ninth if I'm to add tile-bas...

I am confused. Is this a keyboard problem or a mouse problem? Also, does the same thing happen if you run with the SDL backend? Keyboard. The backend doesn't matter. What do you mean by tile mode? The tile-from-tileset picker you get when you press Enter in the tilemap editor? If so, yes, I actuall...
