Moving forward while rotating is *actually* realistic. Cars will never just turn on spot...... Though we're talking tracked tanks :P That notwithstanding, I think it's ok for it to move forward while rotating, it's part of the control scheme, and ma…
-
Hmmmm, I don't think creating controls that are counter-intuitive to the user should be the part of the constraint? Well, I don't know if everyone else experiences it the same as me, but it felt like If this was Snake and I pressed left to turn righ…

Neat game! Taking away the control from the shooting is a great opportunity to concentrate on the movement mechanics, and makes for quite a fun game :) Some comments: 1. The controls feel exactly opposite to what I expect it to be... I though N = t…
-
Yep yep, the one and the same :) Moving in between disciplines here haha :)
-
@Gazza_N Airena lol :) That can be my next game :P I like Skydrops Scramble... It just has a bit of a tonguetwister property to it... Hmm... I still like Arena too, though. It's... competitive-y :P @FanieG He's not quite sure what he should be! I …

Yo! It gets completely nuts!! UI and flow things notwithstanding, here are some feedback bits: >> I find it difficult to understand whether the objects are just hanging around the centre according to distance or according to time. >> …

Thanks @thaumaturge! :) gender studies are pretty interesting, especially in testing the theories! I wonder if there's any easy code world code that can be added to keep anonymity and then unlock it all at the same time later, to save her some moder…
-
Ah nevermind, I did my research and found who she was :) First name basis all round, oh indie world :) (ninja'ed :P)
-
Wait, who's Jenn? I feel like I started watching some series on episode 5.
-
Hey Mikdog! Welcome to MGSA! :D Hope you find the dawgs you looking for! :)
-
You know, what would be a really cool idea, as a REAL LIFE thought experiment, is to hide the gender of the makers of each game until, say, 2/3 weeks later. And see if any perception changes between knowing and not knowing who made it. Gender bias …

lol, as I clicked for the 2nd time I realised how it goes :) gg :)
-
@Bensonance >3 ... that looks like some kind of fetish torture practice :P
-
Super Skydrops Arena (formerly Battle Blocks) reporting for duty! I'll be sure to get the controllers working beforehand... This weekend, in fact :)
-
@FanieG The reason for Arena is to communicate the versus element of the game, it may or may not have an actual arena in it in the end, but that's a point well made... To everyone - does having "Arena" in the tile make you think that there's actual…

This article started with Modern Mario, then ended on a note that I think is quite relevant to our conversation here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/126519-Super-Mario-Bros-Looks-Pretty-Odd-With-Modern-Graphics?utm_source=rss&utm_medi…

Whoa whoa whoa! I just had a thought, I think: In the very beginning, it is 90% more likely that a mechanics based approach will yield a positive response to a game being built and prototyped. Can we agree with that? Sure the Dear Esther's of the …
-
An update! I'm making this update for several reasons: 1. To show what the latest build looks like 2. To make an effort at developing not in the dark 3. To ask you guys for some opinion (in support of above point!) So latest build can be found her…
-
@blackshipsfillthesky YES INDEED I did play that, eerily enough I had been working on my game a fair bit (sketches and planning) before seeing it on steam. Then I was like... HAVE I SEEN THIS OR HAVEN'T I SEEN THIS BEFORE?!?! I can't tell anymore, a…
-
Absolutely fair enough, I guess where games and movies and music and books are bleeding into each other, there's no prescription for enjoyment. But wouldn't the way that slideshow bring you joy and an amazing experience be considered "mechanic"? Lik…
-
I just want to say a really really really really heartfelt THANK YOU to you guys (@FanieG, @tbulford, @dislekcia and everyone else commenting and having played it) for supporting Battle Blocks (working title), I just realised that despite my really …
-
oh crap I didn't see that bit!!! >_< getting on it now...
-
AI in two hours. wtf XD
-
"Shtay awhile, and lishten..."
-
Tell me more about bad dialogue trees.
-
@tbulford yeah I'm having trouble with AI... It's really my first foray into AI and stuff, and to be honest I'm needin to work out a whole pile of awareness and reactions and whatever... And that's making my head explode >_< (Note that my expe…
-
I'm not getting a lot of response for my game but I concede that's due to the awkward need for a controller to be involved and that I haven't got AI yet....... But yeah I totally agree that getting little to no response can be very energy sapping...…
-
Thanks for the info guys! @Gazza_N I think that may be a way around, I'll have to check the structure of my script... @dislekcia I think I haven't communicated what I need enough, what I want to do is have a function that can count instances of o…
-
Ermmmm, I googled this and couldn't find any answer, so it seems impossible, but so simple, yet... Dunno... How do I pass a variable NAME into a script as an argument? like... var block_array then in the script count_something argument0[x] = x*…
-
I bet there are things that we as men just don't know and that Tempur-foam mattress doesn't make frontal sleeping any better... though, erm, I've not mastered frontal sleeping AT ALL. I don't know how anyone could do it without suffocating or waking…
-
(The fact that the sameish things were said by me and WelshPixie but received kinda differently goes a ways towards proving the point...) Wait, no, re-read that and nevermind, @blackshipsfillthesky you're being pretty consistent, nevermind, false a…
-
OMGGGGG LOOK AT THIS!!!! THIS is a two button game, and it's... soooo shinyyyyyy.... So... MECHANICALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
-
No, I don't think the proposal is sexist at all, and hence I said if it were said by a man - I think it would alter the perception thereof dramatically. I'm not saying that it *is* sexist, or any man who would say it would be sexist, I think the rec…
-
This is one of those "only a ginger can call a ginger ginger" cases... Imagine if all of the same words were used for the proposal, but it was said by a man, imagine the fire it would draw :) But it definitely sounds intriguing! OMG the pun-o-mete…
-
Hm? They said to start testing as soon as you can, there was a good section dedicated to that - that's the same as "early feedback" right?
-
So I went into it thinking it's one of those reaction pieces to Fish's explosion - and I was completely wrong :) Even though that was touched on (Phil needed more parts to his machinery), it wasn't the point at all. Those 4 points at the end really…

#27!!! Wow congrats!!! :D hmmm, clicking on that link gives me: Sorry! An error was encountered while processing your request: That item does not exist. It may have been removed by the author.
-
Thanks @blackshipsfillthesky :) The way I see it from my experience on the internet, it seldom matters if I don't try to piss people off - just by having a strong enough opinion, you'll piss people off, and it doesn't matter if you have good intent…
-
I definitely wanted different blocks, but as for physics models - We're really different types of games, but I'll see if bouncing may make an appearance... I'm guessing one day I'll have to go to Unity for realistic physics that I don't have to bre…
-
Very cool idea! Love it to bits! I love anything with blocks and the potential to combo and stuff... Now, is there two player potential? :D Saw this before, thought the hilarity of it could figure into something like this :)
-
"THIS FOOTAGE HAS TAKEN AN UNEXPECTED DIRECTION" lollll Though the content is super valuable for anyone who has ever been distraught by internet commentary :)
-
It's quite personal, I think. For me Starcraft (1 and 2) are just WAY too far gone for me, while something like DOTA had a sweet spot for me and then ran away with the variations... Yet they're both some of the toppest games ever. So it depends on …
-
To me... first world problems XD It may be just my personal nature, but if I get trolled massively I'd be glad that it was that and not anonymity after I create a game. In the end, the threats and verbal blahblah only has power over you that you gi…
-
Haha... Well it's been a slow process, I now have variables that know what the top block of the landscape are, and can identify pairs of same colours... Now I gotta make my dummy plug (an Evangelion reference) move over there, pick it up and aim at …
-
All this "clarification of the rules" type talk reminds me of rules discussions on card game forums where people think there's an advantage to be gleaned out of finding loopholes XD
-
Yeah I can understand I guess, Megaman is one of those sacred relics on which lots of people have their own interpretation and personal love for the subject :)
-
I can understand that you confuse people who haven't played the games you're pulling into your description, but at the same thing you could ask yourself what is more valuable: Having more people understand a more generic, non-emotive description, or…
