Lookin' good! I notice that if you take a shot and then change directions really quick, you kind of "steer" the shot, which is a very Atari 2600 touch. I can think of a few shooting games that used that to very interesting effect. Hope you don't have any trouble importing it into your real...

I dunno why it is, but this is the cover I remember the most . Hilarious. I remember liking Fenrir's comics a lot, and there were some good plotscripting things. There's not as good of a venue for plotscripting lessons/showing off these days. The reviews were good (the retrospectives were way better...

And as promised, the rest: James Doppler Science Etc : 2 out of 10 Battles were really slow, story was profane without much redeeming humor. It was picking up towards the end, but still a pretty bad showing. Dragons! : 3 out of 10 Hideously paced, no story, no incentive, and then you get to the next...

Oke Doke : 5 out of 10. I already reviewed this game so most of my thoughts will be here. Almost all of the complaints still hold water. The following are my thoughts on Chapter 6, and my general feelings using Chapter 6 as perspective. I quit probably an hour into Chapter 6, when I found myself in...

I've already reviewed most of these games, so I'm not going to comment very deeply on them. If you want to know more, read the review. I'm considering this more of a Report Card kind of a thing. Batman and Robin's Joker Mode will be getting a review here since I consider it seperate from the main ga...

I don't need a time extension, I think I've seen what I needed to see. Your ruling on the votes helps a lot though, thanks. I'm working on my votes now. Before you posted that, I came to the conclusion that the best way for me to vote was probably going to be to treat the save games as if they were ...

Look at what you're doing for Starfish, Jellyfish, etc. They're not throwing errors, but they're doing the same Starfish := loadwalkaboutsprite (33,41) stuff, right? It's trying to set the value of the variable Starfish to the number returned by the LoadWalkaboutSprite comman...

Yes, A should be a variable. If you set up PetMenu somewhere as a variable, you'll be (probably) be right as rain.

*Is there any way to recover health without using items? It doesn't seem like it. This is a common and important feature in RPGs for a reason. Speaking of which, is there some kind of inn-like feature in Batman and Robin: Joker Quest? This feels like the best place to ask. I haven't found such a th...

I think your script is already correct? When you say PetMenu := OpenMenu (3,0) What you're really saying is SetVariable ( PetMenu,OpenMenu (3,0) ) The variable PetMenu will be that returned value. EDIT: As for the second part of the question, I...

Sure, glad to help. I've never actually made an RPG before, so feel free to take all my suggestions with a grain of salt. Might not actually know what I'm talking about.

Fun fact: Most of us dedicated Slime Salad Chat peeps are just as confused and irritated by Spoonweaver's unsanctioned comic as you are! What happens in IRC should stay in IRC. Vegas rules, baby.

I've got I think... one more game to go before I can make my votes. I don't understand though, when we're judging like... Chapter 6 of Oke Doke and Joker mode in Batman... what're we comparing that to? Is that vote going to be compared to full new games? I'm getting myself all confused, but what I m...

2014 In Review: Troll Over

Troll Over is the story of a troll who finds an amnesiac naked guy and decides to make him his lackey. The troll knows he wants to take him to goblin town to show off to his goblin friends, but we as players don't know that, creating a little bit of a disconnect. Makes the first part of the game a l...
