STORMCROW'S PROFILE

is there a specific cutoff/deadline for submitting your game page?

Like are you constantly playtesting, noticing, and fixing minute errors, or do you just blast through a large area at a time even knowing it's missing features or events or has bugs, and then take on testing it all at once, or (more likely) somewhere in between?

I am towards the first extreme I described, but trying to be more like the second.

I've got 1/2 an hour of gameplay that isn't necessarily the 1/2 hour of gameplay I want to show off in a demo, all things considered (the game starts you off as a deuteragonist during a prologue episode only indirectly related to the game plot; this decoy protagonist effect if exactly what i want for the actual game or even a much longer demo but feels weird to release as representative of the game), so I've got some dev work to do. I've got a game page that exists but doesn't have any screenshots yet. I did do the CSS (not my strong suit but I think I did okay, same thing I'd say about the CSS on Chapelwaite or The Staircase) and the main game blurb but I've yet to take the screenshots, although I just pulled down OrangeScreenshotSaver dot js for that express purpose.

All in all this has been less hectic and insane for me than word roulette or swap in the middle, but those events both went down when I was unemployed and practically a shut-in. While I was on the 2nd half of swap in the middle 2 I was in the midst of moving cross-country but that kind of just stoked the fires of feverish gammakking. Now I'm juggling a jorb, necessary household chores (care and feeding of my dog tops the list but still too broke to take him to the vet grrrrrr fuck capitalism), a nascent social life even, plus various creative hustles to try and get the money to pay the rent. All in all I've been able to participate this at a much less insane pace than past events although that probably has more to do with the fact that this game was poised in my mind to become my main project more or less at the same time this event launched than it does with any of the above factors.

I have some unknown portion of 10 days left. I've known that Bring Me To Life was out of the question from the getgo. Right now I'm overqualified for Call My Name but falling just a bit short of Can't Wake Up.

*shroog*

Let's see what happen.

random request: Liberty (or whoever) would you mind sharing the CSS for this page? I feel like I (and others, not every request I make is motivated out of pure selfishness, swears) could learn from it as an example. Yes, I mean in addition to the ancient tutorial that ChaosProductions made about CSS'ing your game page years ago, which I'm very aware of.

So (hello, old thread) I tried using the opacity 0.5 property on the main column and body sections trying to check and guess for an effect that would leave the text readable but my background kind of visible even through the second column. Now the property worked, and both of those areas faded to 50% transparency but my background image cannot be seen through them at all. it's really weird and i don't know what's going on.

halp?

Apparently I already had this exact problem 13 MONTHS AGO and someone (GRS) already helped me with it so OOPS.

Characters so androgynous you can't tell what gender they are!

fucking. sold.
