It's a good time to live when I can watch a rap battle between Moses and Santa Claus.

I don’t give a shit about those guys. All they do is make a lot of noise and have angry sex every night.

You should leave them this cake:

And then they'll respond with this:

108,000 words.

Alcoremortis · 01/02/2013, 11:36 pm

And when you reach 200,000 words, the doomsday device will be complete.

However...

Beware the next one.

Reading the Construct 2 manual now.

I set myself up a fresh dropbox account, and I'm going to save my project on there, (so its always backed up!

), and I shouldn't imagine whatever I make to exceed 2gb anyway.

So once I get all versed up on Construct 2, I should think about designing something in more depth. Making/getting assets and all that to use.

Just need to come up with a relatively simple idea to practice with.
(Which is much harder than it seems because I can't bring myself just to do something as vanilla as a platformer or a brawler or something...)

EDIT: At the moment I'm thinking of doing some kind of action platformer that takes the idea of hitboxes from fighting games, and then adding in some crazy enemies that can spam projectiles or something, and then you could roll dodge and air dodge like in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and you'd have to time attacks and that.
Fast and fluid fighting. Walljumps. Light Stealth.

Dammit. Damn Mark of the Ninja giving me ideas. X_X

EDIT: Hmmm... designing the game around the enemies, rather than the player or the story and that.
Bit like Dark Souls really. Just cool, badass enemies with increasingly complicated patterns and strategies, and smarter AI. I should just make it like open-world or something, where you just explore and kick ass, and eventually unlock the final boss area, and he's super hard to beat, with multiple forms and that.

You've ruined the Mayans' prediction!

You know what time it is?

Tooth Hurty! Xp

snot buckets.

I asked Steam Support to remove a game from my Library, and they said that since it was part of a bundle, they would have to remove the whole bundle, not just the one game.

Turns out buying buckets of games via humble indie bundle has a down side.

I wish I could stop feeling so ill this year.

Telltale Murder Mystery hasn’t really been going anywhere, lately. It’s hard writing out a good plot with why the killer does it and how the murders are carried out, and maintaining good dialogue is also kind of hard for me.

Alcoremortis · 01/03/2013, 10:18 am

Oh, good murders are easy to write. Writing them in a way that they can be solvable later is the hard part.

I would suggest getting a really good characterization of your murderer first. Start from childhood and work your way up. Any average person can become a murderer with the right incentive and it helps the moral ambiguity of the story if the first murdered person is something of an asshole.

See, the first murder is because the murderer genuinely hates the victim for some reason, or desperately needs them out of the picture. The rest are because the murderer is afraid they'll get caught. And at some point they make a mistake so that the detective can figure out who dun it. That's the hard part, engineering a mistake that not everyone would catch, but would be sufficiently damning.

Noname215 · 01/03/2013, 10:25 am

Oh, writing out the way they die is the most fun. I got knifings, shootings, bashings, poisoning, and a strangling. Hitchcock would be proud.
