Also, I wrote a post mortem about the game on my news page in case anyone is interested.

I like writing when the subject isn't Wuthering Heights...

Confession: I've never really played through all the levels of BvF myself. I was actually surprised someone could do it since it wasn't exactly the best game ever. :P

Incidentally, there was this guy called Ngo Tan Thao who hit a few wires in Vietnam... Then he managed to shut off the electricity supply of much of Vietnam plus neighbouring Cambodia.

Compared to this, Luis tripping over wires seems much more trivial...

There's a hacked version of the game on arcadeprehacks. Should I care? It's gotten me like 4000 views, but idk what the site is.

there will ALWAYS be hacked/cracked versions of any game that gets even mildly popular. Don't worry about it, client-side stuff is always vulnerable. Plus, the more you push, the harder they'll resist. Which could be a good marketing strategy, come to think about it.

Anyway, I decided to make a full-on mod with the tutorials i'm getting from across the interwebs. New ores, recipes, dimensions, mobs, the whole thing. I needed to sharpen my Java skills again and I had "make a minecraft mod" on my to-do for quite some time, so I figured i'd just combine them.

Please hire me :(

Thanks, egg, you just gave me another unattainable goal.

They're actually a pretty swell bunch of people. If you contact them they will gladly remove the game. They also deliberately remove leaderboards so that people playing the hacked version won't get higher scores than people playing the normal version. They also leave any ads/sponsor branding.

Of course they're also getting a free custom version of the game that other sites usually pay for in the form of a "non-exclusive" license, but eh.

Yeah, since it means my game has got 'mildly popular'. :P

Cool quite a lot of my games are on that hack site. It's nice to see someone enjoyed them enough to bother hacking them :)

can someone punch me. Why on earth i didn't make my asset library class static?

It's like a trigger now. "I guess this won't be a small game anymore" -> save, close FD, draw out on paper the game and the states and managers needed for game flow.

Organized game dev, fuck yeah

so i thought that i was making game, and i made 70% done and realized that last 30 will be pain in the ass to implement using current code, so i scraped that and start all over, in 2 weeks i rewrote whole game which i was working 6-7 weeks. and now i know what prototyping is :D I should have scrap it way earlier, but now everything i whant to implement is sooo smooth and it gives me that great feeling

Out of interest which framework (if any) were you using? I've been in the situation in the past where that has happened until I switched to using PureMVC

@Toast game jam poke

For a bullet hellish game, assuming shooting is automatic, would you guys prefer mouse or keyboard movement (no wasd)? If keyboard, would you be fine with navigating menus and a shop with the arrow keys as well? If mouse, would you want your speed limited (player moves toward the mouse at 5px/sec or something) or to track the mouse exactly (continuous collision detection to avoid skipping over things)?

I just want to avoid switching between the mouse and arrow keys a lot, and I know non-wasd is a turnoff for some people.

I'm starting to regret signing up for Zoosk.
"Hey, look at this pretty girl we found for you! BUUUUUTTTTT you can't communicate with her in any way unless you pay us $20 a month. Have fun!"
So. Many. E-mails.

I'm also lonely :(

They're usually fake too. I thought you were quite young Egg, can't you just hit the bars? ;)

Just read through all of them.
Didn't regret it.

a little TOO young for that, yet. I'll be 21 the beginning of October.

Am I missing the Steam summer sales? Just got this for $7

After a week of coding the animation shit for my swf renderer without really being able to test it (it's full of a million interlocking systems that all depend on each other), I tested it last night for the first time. And it worked on the first time.

And its so fast

sample interface at the moment:

initialization:

instantiating a movieclip

update / rendering the movieclip

Jeez now I'm being told we're getting kicked out of the house for that weekend...so happy the jam is longer than a weekend. Maybe Austin and Tom heard my pleas.
