I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.

I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.

"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!

Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."

As the only human awake on board a space station controlled by an insane AI with delusions of deification, you must unravel the mystery of your own identity and discover: "What is the Iron Gaia?"

What was the last thing you ate?

Oh God, I could terrify you fuckers by turning this post into an in depth play-by-play of just how moronically unhealthy and downright fucking weird my diet is.

System Shock 2 Deus Ex, it's both.

Loved and lost, or never loved at all?

[Demo] MAGE DUEL

@Mr. Nemo:

I have no idea what I can do to reduce lag since the game includes no special effects, no scripts, no paralell process events, and well...nothing that should be causing it to lag!

If you can run SOLAR TEAR on your computer, you should be able to run MAGE DUEL! I just don't understand.

I played a few battles with a conjurer (combination with mirror image seemed like a pretty good idea). My cloak of shadows kept unequipping itself though :L.

This is intentional. When you cast Mirror Image, you have a "Mirror Image" enchantment, not a cloak of shadows enchantment. I've explained this in detail before. I hope you finish this on a computer that can handle it!

@Secretseeker:

Nice game, but you gotta do something about alex, silence on evokers is just unfair. Either allow monster fights to be able to level up enough for him, or enable a cure for silence that evokers can use. Overall, it was fun, until i got my ass handed to me by that guy like 20 times :sI had an evoker/healer mix.

Hmm...my advice would be to change your strategy. Silence-resistance is a POWERFUL ability so it's not available until late in the game. I've never had a problem with Alex. Either make yourself UNHITTABLE somehow (his sword is a regular physical attack (best you can do is 20% evasion, I think) or just JACK YOUR ATTACK so you can smash him to pieces even if he does silence you. I think Forcedart Wand (non-elemental, remember as an Evoker Alex is resistant to Fire, Ice, and Shock) + Gauntlet of Power should give you an attack of ~70 at this point. Alex has very good defense, so being able to debuff him or poison him in the first round would be good. And uh, yeah, keep yourself healed.

Here is what I think, off the top of my head, is a foolproof setup for fighting Alex. And if you've won all the fights you should have enough money to buy all this stuff:
Basically, if you are equipped with thunder cape, flame aura, griffin feather hat, forcedart wand, gauntlet of power, you are:
1. COMPLETELY IMMUNE TO LIGHTNING, FIRE, AND WIND, I.E. EVERYTHING ALEX CAN DO!
2. Able to deal him significant non-elemental damage.
So basically, LET him silence you and then waste his spells doing 15 and 20 damage to you and just gradually wittle him down with Willforce (attacks) while keeping yourself healed.


Please let me know if this strategy works so I don't have to test it myself.

@Craze:

My character is male.

PINPOINTED. I had a LABEL where I needed a JUMP TO LABEL. SEE??????:



EDIT: OH, I, UH, WENT AHEAD AND FIXED THIS, BY THE WAY.

[Full Version] Demon Destiny 1

DD, since I don't think you registered my feedback in the RS! discussion thread, so I am repeating it here. It's not my intention to pick on you, so I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but there is at least one major bug I need to bring to your attention, so here is my mini-review, copy-pasted from that topic:

I am astonished that a FULL GAME with a (even HALF-working) custom battle system and custom menu system could be so atrociously amateurish and completely crippled by lame beginner mistakes. The awful mapping (making the classic beginner mistake of having too much space and everything in straight lines and squares, even outdoor areas that should look natural), buggy, inconsistent, NOT-AT-ALL-FUN battle system, entirely derivative story, wooden characters, unbelievably bad dialogue, and endless spelling, grammar, and capitalization characters (YOU ARE NOT EE CUMMINGS MISTER, YOU KEEP YOUR I's CAPITAL GODAMNIT) made this game basically unplayable even before the mistake that made me quit. After the lengthy, laughable intro, when I first got control and had the girl in my party I halfheartedly tried to break the (extremely inconvenient) custom menu system, and I was easily able to make Shogan the party leader EVEN THOUGH SHOGAN WAS NOT IN THE PARTY AND IN FACT WAS A CHARACTER I HAD NOT EVEN MET YET!

Due to the resurfacing of a multitude bugs I eliminated back in NOVEMBER...

Okay, you seem not to understand a basic principle, man, so let me try to explain this:

A suggestion is JUST a suggestion, not a threat, insult, promise, imperative or command. In no way are you ever beholden to a suggestion or obligated to act on one. Obviously, it's your game, and you're making it for you. I was giving you a suggestion that I thought would make the game more fun to play, not just for me, but for everyone. But no one, least of all me, is going to lynch you if you don't take the advice.

Okay?

By the way, the menu bug issue is real, and is something you definitely need to fix. I don't know if you've addressed it at all.

Due to the resurfacing of a multitude bugs I eliminated back in NOVEMBER...

it's kind of like an inside joke, I guess. You'd have to know BM to really get it. But I mean, Chaos didn't know him so I don't really know what the point of the comment was... :o

Eek. Uh, sorry you feel that way.

Oh come on, he's not all that bad.

Max man.. how many times do I have to give the proper download link before you pay attention.

http://www.mediafire.com/?tyymihojzcw

Everyone else downloaded it.. I've seen screens of my project on other people computers.. at least. I reuploaded it around 5:30 RMN time.

Okay, jeez, I'll get to it maybe! It's not like it's my job to play absolutely every game...I mean, I downloaded your game once, and it failed...don't snap at me.

Unites States prepares for Martial Law on Oct. 1st. Apparently.

Just to be clear, while still terrifying in its own right, what was discussed in that news clip is NOT AT ALL the same thing as martial law.

Nonetheless....this worries me.
