LIGHTNINGLORD2'S PROFILE

The site owner spouts white supremacist garbage and the mods react to my concerns by laughing at me. I'm not going to put up with a toxic community like this anymore.

Is Kaizo the new trendy word these days?

As Isrieri said, the main point in Platform Hells, Roguelikes and so on is not to make the games hard, but to make people enjoy the difficulty. Too many games just take a framework, strap on every kind of difficulty, whether fair or not, onto it with no rhyme or reason and call it a day.

Puzzle thread

Since we're on a new page, I wanna mention my puzzle with the 3 missionaries and the 3 cannibals again so it's not forgotten.

Dealing with Poison

On a related note, how does one balance antidote skills/items? You won't use them while fighting weak enemies as they'll die quickly and you can heal it afterwards and you won't use them against strong ones as they'll easily re-inflict poison anyways.

[Game Maker] Energy Consumption in Games

I think a sensible penalty (and a way to avoid getting the player stuck) would be that running out of energy causes your character to shut down briefly and refill energy a little. You're open to get hit by enemies and falling down pits etc. while charging, though enemy attacks won't knock you around.

What are you thinking about? (game development edition)

You also need to bring back the boat to the other side.

Assuming you send over 1 missionary and 1 cannibal, there's 2 of each on the start and 1 of each at the goal. Someone of them need to bring back the boat to the others. And no, the boat can be used by just one person.

Making threads about one's game has happened disturbingly often lately...

[RMVX ACE] Kirby RPG

If you get your game submitted, I wouldn't mind leaving some commentary on development - a Kirby fangame sounds really interesting, especially as an RPG.

My turn for a riddle!

Three missionaries and three cannibals attempt to cross a river. The boat they have can only fit two at a time. If, at any point, there's more cannibals on one side of the river than missionaries, the cannibals will eat the missionaries. How do all get across?

Any character's death = game over

I just remembered a game that actually has this system (sort of) - The Lost Vikings gives you a game over screen if you reach the end of the level with only one or two players - you have to make it with all three to get further.
