Slime Salad

Another minor update... Didn't quite make my earlier Chapter-4-done-in-July predictions, mainly because I had four days where I wasn't able to work on the game at all (me, my dad, and my little sister went on a vacation and dad didn't bring his laptop along.) Still managed to finish the hotel and al...

A couple new screenshots, since it'd be a little weird to go through all of July without posting any... http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5050/butter.png http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1589/thepound.png I won't say much about these, except that both of these areas are pretty much optional (thou...

Minor progress update. Got some pretty good work done on Chapter 4, and I'm thinking that it will definitely be finished before the end of July... which leaves the whole month of August to get the (much shorter) 5th and 6th chapters done. I might actually end up finishing the whole thing before the ...

I haven't uploaded any new versions since the July 3rd demo. If you've only played the 8-Bit Contest version, though, you should probably try that one out. It adds a third chapter to the game, a secret boss in Chapter 2 (which I'm not sure if anyone's found yet; I haven't heard anyone mention him, a...

Wow... That's really odd. I tested that part of the game to death, and never ran into this bug. The NPC for Señor Rialgo inside the house should only show up if the "DesertAmbush" tag (set during El Garbanzo's encounter with the thugs) is on, and the script that makes Señor Rialgo join you...

First, the ghosts in the Ghost town, if you get Senor Rialgo and then enter the town from behind where the ghosts were, Senor Rialgo scares a bunch of ghosts that are not there. Whoops! It shouldn't be possible to enter the Ghost Town from behind unless you've already scared off the ghosts (a cactu...

About colors--the problem seems to be that you're limited to the 16 colors that you had for the 8-Bit Contest. If you want more colors (while still keeping the 8-bit-ness of the game intact), you could try expanding your palette to 53 colors. That's about how many the actual NES palette had in it, i...

Google says MOSI stands for "Museum of Science and Industry," and it's in Florida... so I guess there must be some kind of dinosaur (statue, I hope?) outside of it.

- Find some way to make Ken not the ugliest graphic in the game (and saboutaging myself by making something worse on purpose is -not- what I have in mind). Have you considered redoing all the hero sprites using transparent-black "outlines?" I noticed that your hero sprites go with the &qu...

Hey, it's Pong!... with bombs! So, what HILARIOUS things should Mr. Bob be selling? For some food items, maybe a "Secret Milkshake" or a "Real Corndog." ==== Here's some screenshots from the city of New Hamster... the tilemap/wallmap/foemap work on the city itself is almost done ...

Not really much of a plotscripting expert (and I've never really done any stat-boosting scripts...), but it looks like you have too many parentheses. So maybe: set hero stat(hero by rank(0),stat:HP,get hero stat(hero by rank(0),stat:HP&...

I think attacks miss too often. I don't like how it is in a lot of other games so much (where attacks hit around 99%, or 98% for an "inaccurate" character), but El Garbanzo only seems to hit around 40% of the time, and his allies fare a little worse. (Maybe I'm just unlucky.) On the other...

Oh good. Now I don't feel so badly about leaving it in my reserve. Yeah, I try not to put any absolutely worthless items in the game. Most of the junk items go toward making some sort of super-item later on, or can be sold for a buttload of money. So far there's only one that doesn't have any use a...

I still don't know why I should use the "Rusty Sword." Will it get better in time, or is it just a lousy sword that Garbanzo's father once used? In Chapter 4, there'll be someone in a shop who can clean off the rust and restore the sword to its previous strength. It then becomes the secon...

Either lower the cost of equipment in the first town or make enemies drop more money. I've slightly increased the amount of money that most enemies drop (at least in the desert/mountain areas) at that point in the game, but I think I might lower the price of equipment a little bit too. Maybe increa...
