Slime Salad

Honestly, it's a little ridiculous to make the claim that everyone has the ability to finish something like a game on their own. Few people have done everything for a game on their own, and it's super impressive when they do for a good reason. Games are unlike other media and art forms in that visua...

I don't know why, but right now I'm just really excited to see games being made. The past couple months have been awesome, just seeing that everyone is working on something. So much respect for you all. Everything looks great. I've been working on some of my own stuff lately, and I don't have a Huuu...

Story of my life. Last Halloween I waited until the day before.

I feel there is a lack of detail in yours, primarily the lack of roads, which is contributing to the difference between the two screenshots. That being said, I don't think it's a bad thing, just add in some paths.

I would have such a good chance of finishing something this month if it didn't also happen to be the most rigorous academic term of my life. Now my chances at finishing something are bad, but it's not like unlikelihood is unfamiliar. I have two AMAZING ideas for halloween games and one of 'em is gon...

Gotcha. I'll have to be more careful dealing with menus in the future. Thanks for the explanations!

I started working on a pixel based wall check that I am now realizing is whack. Fixing the movement first should fix that along. The wall check in the main loop was actually a debugging attempt to see if wall checks would work in any condition (it wasn't). I shouldn't have left it there. Thank you f...

Will do! Thank you for the answer. It was an experiment, if anything. It seemed like it would remove an extra step from the process, but it looks like I was definitely wrong about that. I may be back with more questions.

Sounds good. I started on that anyway because I still wanted to be working on it instead of just giving up. I have run into a few problems with manipulating a loaded hero sprite (I will be using hero sprites instead of walkabouts in a sidescroller manner). I think I misunderstand what setting the ve...

I think the current graphics are where they need to be. All I want is to go kill those beetles.

Since the slice returned by "get hero slice()" cannot be manually repositioned, is there another slice, such as the "sl:walkabout slice component" child of the hero slice that can be moved? I'd like to see if I can get some movement done easily with the set slice velocity command...

FamiTracker is a good tracker. Anyone can make (strictly) 8-bit songs fairly easily without any background in music. This video has a decent introduction to it. Once you figure out the layout, you can actually make simple but decent stuff really quickly. And if you like, you can take the tracks mad...

Oh.

Oh Lord in heaven.

Shower me in thy glorious rays of joy.

If there is a skeleton hiding in me he needs to get out now and pay his taxes or file for citizenship, whatever it is he's hiding from. I'm sick of these moochers in my life and my skin. It's the 21st century.
