Slime Salad

Okay, time for today's Phantom Tactics update. I spent today ironing out the last of the animations that you'll see in the demo. I had planned on discussing a different class today, but it turns out it's less work to show you a gameplay video. So here it is:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

This is pretty much the demo you'll get your hands on soon. All that's left, I think, is to add in a "You Win" screen and change the music.

Did I mention that Twinconclusive is responsible for the character design, graphics, and animations?

That is sick. Your scripting skills make me want to cry sometimes.

i agree, that looks like its going to be a ton of fun. cant wait to play it. keep up the good work

What are you waiting for?

0.0

downloading now!!!

Big important notice: If you have had problems getting Phantom Tactics to run correctly, you should download the latest nightly. I carelessly forgot to include an executable and I suspect that the game is not compatible with the Xocolatl+2 release.

Then again, no one has commented on the demo either way.

I've been having it randomly crashing sometimes, is this why?

Perhaps. What OS are you using? It crashes for me in Vista; this is a sound-related crash. If you're using Vista, I recommend downloading the no-sound nightly.

It works fine in XP, though, so if you're running XP, just grab the regular nightly.

Any game with lots of big and complicated scripts is likely to crash on xocolatl+2 (and any other build older than 2009-05-13) because of <a href="http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/bugzilla ... d=717">bug 717</a>

We really desperately need a new stable release. I think the current nightlies are more stable than xocolatl+2

Moogs persuaded me to play Phantom Tactics.

First of all, it's visually great. I know some of these aren't even the final graphics, but the way it animates is fantastic. The way the characters look when they are about to attack, all DBZ like where they sort of have the lines where they used to be. Very classy. Artistically, amazing job Twin, I look forward to a lot more. Moogs, I think this is easily your most impressive game concept.

Keep up the great work fellahs, you guys make a legitimate update besides the tech demo and it'll secure your spot on the Top 30 and Game of the Year categories.

I wish more people thought outside the box like this.

Can you travel back in time to change it's greatest hits into techno music?

Finally I'm done! Well not quiet. (You'll see when you play the game)

But I thought I'd post up some images of my 8-Bit game entry so you can all see what your in store for.

The game....Stranded.

That can't be what I think it is....no way! First person battle!?


Haha...sorry got carried away.

Ive still got some tweaking to do but that should be done by saterday.

Played 'Light fight' and 'Phantom Tactics'...very cool.

Phantom Tactics: Cool time! I almost met the challenge too, but the last Bandit got my Bowman with his dying turn. Can't wait to see the full release!

New-Gen: Looks cool, but is it meeting the color limits? It looks like it could be bending them a little at parts, but I can't ee close enough to tell.

I've had enough promoting my 8-bit game for a while, but here's a YouTube video of something else I've been working on.
