@Julev
Thank you!

@KaRNoFeRoZ
At first I didn't want to because I reeeeally didn't want to re-event the scenes in the beginning. If I switched engines now, I'd end up losing some key gameplay bits like Battle Engine Melody and enemy scan bios. :(

Adventure Ace

What browser are you using?

Catharsis

Haha, that's pretty cool! There's also a terrible game that uses the word too. D:

Catharsis

There's not much to see in the game right now because the current download's short and outdated, but thanks for your interest!
Speaking of worlds, I've been meaning to put up a page for that sometime soon.

Catharsis

The game pretty much stops there, but it'll continue on from that shopkeeper NPC in the next release. Because of the event deadline, I had to cut it off there. Thanks for subbing! :)

Mapping Contest #1

SGCN: The music really fit the theme, and the layout was nicely varied. I played with the 2k3 exe, because the 20XX one acted oddly on my computer--very slow, and strange textboxes kept popping up. Some had single digit-numbers, others were empty. Dunno why, though...
Hey thanks for playing my map :) The 20XX engine is still in beta but the game seems to work fine on my end. Mind sharing what some of the error messages say so I can pass it on to WolfCoder?


No problem! I took a screenshot of an empty textbox. After replaying the map a few times, the box would slide in from the right on its own without any input and stays there:

As for the boxes with numbers in them, I wasn't able to grab a shot because it kept flashing away so quickly, heh. It happened soon after loading but stopped after a little bit. It looked like some kind of save screen, but I've never used 20XX so I'm not really sure.

Mapping Contest #1

Alrighty, I played through all of them and here's some feedback for each.

Jude: The tilesets are well-made, and riding on the raft was a cute detail. :)

tpasmall: I think this town would look better if you shrink the map and move the buildings closer together. Maybe try out some groupings of trees as well?

SGCN: The music really fit the theme, and the layout was nicely varied. I played with the 2k3 exe, because the 20XX one acted oddly on my computer--very slow, and strange textboxes kept popping up. Some had single digit-numbers, others were empty. Dunno why, though...

Stedar: The NPCs walking around and stuff add a lot of life to it. There's a passability error with the short palm tree-looking bushes where the character can walk through them.

IKEH4X0r1337: This one feels large and empty. The buildings could be moved closer together, and trees and other plants can improve the map.

Lotus_Games: I love the tint and lighting effects in this one. :D Unfortunately, the map was pretty laggy on my computer even with the tree effects turned off and other apps closed.

Kazesui: Charming mood, and I liked how the music would fade out when you're far away. I found a weird mapping error in the lower right where the ground just...stops, showing the moon panorama. :o

My vote: Jude
I really like how clean it looks, and the raft made me want to explore the town!

Catharsis

There's currently a 6 frame wait between the portrait's fade-in and the message box, so I think that's what's causing it to do that, haha. I'll try either cutting down the wait or removing it entirely, though. :)
My laptop's a few years old and isn't really meant for gaming, so results may vary on other people's computers.

Origin

Everybody flocks to cocks! :D

/lame pun derp

Thank you!
