Re: The "I'm writing a book" thread

Awesome! I read the first few pages and it's very engaging. I'm going to get a physical copy.
Any inkling of further sequels?

Re: Ridiculous Games Contest 2023: PJ/RMZ's Pizza Birthday OHR Contest

Excellent contest idea; I think this will prove to be particularly memorable, and I think the extra long contest window is justified for once. ...because I'm considering entering, but I haven't started yet. I'm also said I've help Bena a bit with his game. I haven't started that yet either. But what...

Re: Grift & Grind: A 7 Day Roguelike

Well, we released what we had after 7 days, but it wasn't a successful 7DRL. And I'm still writing the day 6+7 devlog, argh. Until then I should actually post a link to the game here, shouldn't I? https://seilburg.itch.io/grift-grind -- Plays in your web browser. Now with fixed walkabout graphics* W...

Re: Grift & Grind: A 7 Day Roguelike

No animations... except for the UI. Guess what, I did more work on UI today/yesterday!

Will combine day 6+7 devlogs again, and Seilburg is too burnt out on them and hasn't slept in 23+ hours. So here's a screenshot. Yet still the same dumb placeholder-but-actually-real tasks..

Re: Grift & Grind: A 7 Day Roguelike

Well, realise that we're putting a lot of hours into this, not just afternoons. I'm quite unimpressed with the progress I'm making! Especially compared to the games other people manage in a week. Always a lot of nice games to check out, and lots of progress updates posted on itch.io, reddit, twitter...

Re: Grift & Grind: A 7 Day Roguelike

We both skipped a day to save time. And I just spent way too long mucking around with screen recording and ffmpeg commandline args. Argh, got to put in less effort!

Grift & Grind: A 7 Day Roguelike

It's time once again... to make a roguelike in seven days for the venerable 7DRL Challenge . Grift & Grind (working title): A roguelike for the 2023 7DRL contest! Tile-based, turn-based, tactical with careful time and item management... but never mind that. It's a game about doing the bare minim...

Re: A question for the Godot users...

You didn't really say what your goal is, to create games? Ones more sophisticated than Space Invaders? What kind? To learn to program? It all depends on that. Godot has some steep learning curves and a great deal of complexity. Its main goal is to be powerful, and it caters for power users, not new ...

Re: The termite log

Hi! Nice to see you're not actually gone. So you're still working on your game? It looked so nice.

Sorry, I still haven't got Bena's `read attack data` command in, but I still want to do that before the next release. Which I'm hopeful will be this month. Maybe? Soon anyway.

Re: OHRRPGCE feature requests/suggestions

I see .vgm files are supported by SDL Mixer X (via the game-music-emu library). I've been considering for years whether to switch from SDL_mixer to SDL Mixer X. It adds lots of features and libraries and I think is pretty large, so I would want to disable parts of it. So maybe someday but don't wait...

Re: Open a slice collection in one script and lose it on another one

Did you get answers to all your questions here on Discord? I didn't read everything that was said there. However your question about creating a menu and moving the cursor is nearly the same as what you asked in a previous thread about a slice menu with a cursor. (Unfortunately since then a forum upg...

Re: Red Triangle Games Projects (Development Thread)
