Yeah. I'm not sure how I feel about using the purple/blue scheme for the sideview portion of the game.

Here's what it looks like right now. I need to reverse a couple of things to make it look better. In the sideview gems/score are going to be obtained by killing enemies and whatnot.

It was interesting. Kev-san's certainly gotten quite savvy on a literary level since, well, awhile. A surprisingly comfortable experience considering the strawmanning and attempts to tear down my belief system. RPG battles were cool. I thought it some of the attacks were quite creative and that the ...

I totally worked on DGN Again today...well, yesterday now. But the project's far from dead! I'll post a screen of the sideview board whenever I get that going. Also, the 'race' is the generic ZZT kind--not like the old Lamegame stuff but like the dodging kind. Yeah I know, that sucks. But I do still...

SO the levels were set, then? Goodness, how WOULD you store that?

Well, the PLAN is that things go sequentially. So you actually automatically beat Classic 1, 2 and 3 before going to Classic Boss, which is beaten before you get to go to Forest 1, and so on. The menu basically works by checking to see if a level's been beaten, then moving the smiley down. All of th...

...For Pete's sake. I got pulled back in. How does this sort of thing happen? I'm making DGN Again. And that's not a typo, that's the NAME. http://kkairos.box43.net/dgnagain.png Also, note that I'm planning on doing more than just classic. That forest area will mix crap up a bit, as will some of the...

Holy crap, Dos. That looks pretty cool, but you're right--random-generation stuff DOES take up a crapload of memory. Were you going to do scrolling sort of like Run-On, or different?

As I recall Run-On had a sidescrolling area, in the platformer sense. Technically the game DID scroll to the side.

Should I be able to beat the game by simply going into the passage on the landing site? ACK. I just tested this, and it was possible. I'll be uploading a fix shortly. How I missed that is beyond me. Just, ACK. Man. KKairos, awesome engine, but all of the passages in the ending board lead you to the...

I'm going to upload my game to Z2. Maybe even tonight. I'd wait for my number but I'm at the point where I'm convinced that it's not coming.

I'll upload it in about a half an hour.

Now it should be uploaded.

Whoa. It's kev-san! What's up, man? Haven't seen you in forever!

Um, I'm still workin on this game.

I sent the email [to craNK or whoever] a few days ago..should I have one of those ID-numbers yet?

...Forget anonymity. It's being tested now. If for some reason I can't do the #endgame I'll release it on z2 anyway.

Am I the only old ZZTer who came back for this, or did others?

...I should have my game done sometime tomorrow. It's quite short. Once I get my number I'm gonna go with the anonymity thing, at least till the end of the game, or something.

I'm in. Also, if anyone's wondering..NO, this is not going to be a DGN game.
