When I try to run the 64 bit Mac version of Alien Squatter, the screen is black. Wow. If you download Gorgonzola 64 bit for Mac, do Custom and Game both do that? There are some relevant changes in Gorgonzola. And from which OS did you package the Mac version of Alien Squatter? And with which versio...

This is a struggle for me always because I don't know what people find visually interesting. I went to art school and I never figured this out. I think having a punchy, recognizable style is pretty important, and the Laser Squad screens are good example of that. But those images of the fox in the v...

This is a known bug in our frame rate control, and causes random framerate drops which get larger the closer the game is set to 60fps, but has the biggest effect on Macs where it halves the framerate when set to 60fps. It's been around a long time. Sorry I haven't gotten around to fixing it, I know...

Mac OHR game running at half speed

I found a weird issue. I have a 32 bit Mac version of Alien Squatter. When I play it on my Mac, the game runs at half speed. The music plays at normal speed, but the animations and player walk speeds are slow. I have the game set to run at 60 FPS. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I can't...

Did you hear that a few months ago someone came by wanting to record a Let's Play of Alien Squatter, but complained that the game was running at a low framerate. They didn't want to do it before the game gets upgraded to 60fps. I didn't know that! Thanks for that script, that will be much easier th...

60 FPS!

I just realized that the recent stable version of OHR automatically adjusts walk animations to look right in higher frame rates. WOW! THANKS! Is there something I should be aware of before I start tweaking my game to run in 60 FPS? Gotchas That I Already Discovered: Battles are not in 60 FPS (I don'...

Windows Defender flags the Alien Squatter executable as a Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!plock. I know James and TMC were aware of some antivirus issues -- I think this is specific to games bundled with a custom icon. This is obviously undesirable from a sales perspective. I'd recommend removing the icon. Any...

What bugs... the ones that were holding up the Android port, or ones affecting Alien Squatter? Did you ever hear back about the "RELOAD.SERIALIZBIN: null doc" one? I don't remember it. Also, we still haven't made any improvements to avoid weird errors due to running out of storage space (...

Hey! Those android bugs are worked out! How about an official release of Alien Squatter for Android? Yes! I'd love that! Let me update the RPG file to the newest version of OHR. Do I still need to send you the files (i.e. button graphics, etc.) or can I do this all myself now? EDIT: I'm so happy th...

I've been lurking this thread for a while. I have to say, observing this bug finding process is pretty interesting and dramatic. When James realized there might be a problem with hisphone, it was like learning a clue in a mystery of story. I was like, "Aha! Now what will happen?!"

Yay! That latest version was accepted for Crypt of Baconthulhu with target audience including 9 and older. I did not attempt to enroll in "designed for families" but I'll try that later. Thanks for the help! Thanks for sharing your experiences here. This is helpful to me. I need to get th...
