Other than a Netrunner tournament (Saturday), I'm free to hang help out at mgsa's stand pretty much all weekend. Which is what's left of Saturday and Sunday most of the time. Can we get exhibitor pass in? :) at least for Sunday for me? :)

Being in advertising, I'm going to throw up if I hear that SA is awesome for mobile one more time :P The fact is that everyone forgets that SA is really not Africa. We don't use mobile money nearly one ten thousandths percent of Kenya (ok now I migh…

I agree with @dislekcia, I think we're at a time where people can actually appreciate retro for what it is, and see the fun instead of count the pixels, especially when you're unabashedly upfront about being made with pixels :) Though I also like t…

That is SUPER interesting! I suspect that most if not all of us follow the same pattern... We'll be on the US market and not local, and not playing Facebook games and haven't heard of the game. But of course we're not selling games to ourselves :) …

Dudes! I presume you guys are all alright? Even after photos I feel compelled to ask "what happened???" I always think of those shots in movies where you see the guy from the side out the car window and all of a sudden the window become headlights …

Very cool work Zoe! Love your style, the little wolverine and co are awesome :)
-
So Ridiculous Fishing, so Mod :) Sad Baracus makes me wanna pat him on the head! Love that you guys are nipping potential problems in the butt/bud and experimenting :)
-
Very cool!! Are there just the 4 tiles in total??? It certainly looks a lot more complicated than 4 tiles!! When did you guys come across this tiling algorithm? I don't remember seeing it!
-
So... SteamOS is gonna be like, in practical terms, something you boot a machine, likely a PC, into, right? So it most likely wont sit on your home pc where you boot into windows because, well, convenience. I don't want to boot into SteamOS to play …

I had the same thought and came to post it and was ninja'd by @blackshipsfillthesky :) Single key 4 player games people!
-
I suggest that @dislekcia compile the programme and use his second post to update deets, while @Bensonance states as much and edits first post to point to second post :)
-
Yeah, especially cos starting positions are randomised. I say drawing a line from portrait to bro, or giant coloured indicators, or something DEAD obvious. And probably leave the portraits on the corners corresponding to the player throughout a ser…
-
First thing I thought of when I saw this: So much SOUL! Just like this! :D The continual scorekeeping sounds awesome :D
-
Please just advise where and we can move it. There isn't another area... We have one big area. With catagories, but everything shows up on the master discussions forum :)
-
Have you browsed around this forum a bit? There's typically a bunch of game devs who constructively crit each other's stuff where people post stuff to playtest and get feedback so they'd be able to improve it. I think you'll be very hard pressed to…

I actually haven't made Tetris, but I did make Tiltris, which is more like columns, and the two sides tilt according to how heavy the sides are. I did it highschool and had all but forgotten about it. Whoooa. The actual first game was in std 9, Spa…

Like everyone else would say... Gameplay video! Playable build! Something anything! Looks pretty though :)
-
Hey I also found Brobocop to be among the best bros. His charge shot's range is nuts.

ohhhhmygoooodnessss puppy is so cute and dog is so beautiful! And happy! Happy dog!

It seems that you're still stuck on building a big complex hulking system from the start. If you built a working prototype it'll never need that kind of login/menu/head/side quest logic. I would rather you built something playable, and something pl…
-
Not only is drawing wireframes of the menu structure pointless at this point, it's time consuming and turns people off from your potential game, cos its not FUN. A game is fueled by the potential of fun, and by fueled I mean getting people involved …
-
Ah, I see the difference now that you explain it like that - the key difference being the deadline aspect which of course affects the rest of the structure. I wonder if that sort of urgency vs long term interest thing is largely noticed by the gene…
-
I think pre-orders are a completely different beast to crowdfunding. That's an interesting point, why do you say so? Just to me I can't see the difference - they put out word that they're making something, and am asking money for it by the power of.…
-
There's a constant recurring theme of "you don't get art so your game's not being made". That's entirely and completely wrong! Art is the last part of the circle, if you have a game, even if everything is blocks and circles, it'll be a million time…
-
@Tuism: I actually don't think they're going to get much funding at all... The pretty graphics part they showed had nothing to do with the neat animated graphics they started the presentation with, the ones that needed the gameplay. If they can buil…
-
I think what they have is largely a marketing choice - pretty graphics drive kickstarters (well, croudfunding) and that seems to be what their gameplan is. Now whether that means they do or don't have the ability to complete the project, I don't kno…
-
Wow, congrats :D And look at that list! So much quality... Or what seems to be quality. I guess that's the dilemma of Greenlight!
-
Well actually they have an alpha up, I haven't tried it yet but they do have something up. I doubt it's anywhere near the scope of what they're talking about though, I assume it's just a pretty graphics tech demo... So yea, I'm skeptical, but I rea…

15 people... building an MMO... Just out of highschool... All these send red flags up for me from the collective wisdom I've been exposed to around here. I think the other guys can probably say it better than I could, but it's definitely too early …
-
No, while they will sell the game, collect the funds and give you your share, you still need to declare this income and pay tax on it (regardless if you are doing it in your personal capacity or through a company). I'm not sure I understand the ques…
-
This is, again, fantastic advice :D Focus on your game, forget about the rest. Now, the thing is that if I go into this I'd probably go at it half half and still take some freelance jobs while I'm working on the game. Well, if I can afford not to …
-
What I understand from the tax thing isn't so much tax avoidance - it's minimising the cost of doing what we do - and as far as I can tell, businesses get tax returns that people don't get because government is trying to encourage business and entre…
-
Hearting everyone's wisdoms imparted here - this is all extremely relevant to my interests! Really appreciate all the experience being shared here, though I'm still not quite understanding the pros and cons. I think the best approach for me is to h…

can bear-ly make I tried to draw this. But then I couldn't :(
-
I dunno, I haven't used Firefox in a while, would be strange if they didn't get Vine to work on Firefox. Smooth Jazz for broforce works as well as those operatic crescendos in slow-mo explosion sequences :) Makes more epic :) Are you gonna have bull…

Man, wish vine worked here :) Schizophrenic bear AI... Is getting there slowly :) https://vine.co/v/hvidhwW9d7d

Bear... Bearver? :)

Dude! Good work man, what "very basic art skills"?!?

100TU! Booyah!

OMG I wrote this like yesterday and forgot to post, now I feel like I'm doing a me-too XD ---------------- First of all, congrats for the awesome event :D I don't think I need to say anymore how great it was, because I'd just be repeating myself a…

wiki is separate from the forum :) Thank goodness :)
-
Everyone draw a bear with their mouse! :D
-
WHOA. Dat wiki!! And we haven't even really got use of it yet, right? How do other wikis deal with spam? I think it's ok to just wipe the wiki right now? We only really have a few key bits of writing in there, could we just copy those and wipe?

-
Technically, are we building our own FI engines? Are there engines that other people have used? (I know there's Twine, anything else? Something that can handle inventory? :P)
-
Also... What's up with the low-rez mail banner? :P Your logo is so shiny and badass! Don't do it disservice! :P
-
Although, the capabilities of the supporting software would be something we need to look at, I guess. Does Twine let you track inventory, etc? Or is it basically a series of html pages with multiple paths, and that's all it can do?
-
Hmmmmmmm, I'm not sure I like the restriction of only A to Z with branching paths type mechanic, is that the best way to explore interactive fiction? Of course I'm speaking from a place of utter noobness when it comes to that stuff. Yes I wrote some…
