  1. Amateur Game Making Night

    OK! I dunno if we should make this thread into a "look at what I'm working on" thread, but here's stuff I'm fiddling with an engine for a game with hotline miami combat mechanics in gamemaker. I've added rolling and knives that stick to walls, and some rudimentary AI that circles you and tries to stab you. I'm not sure what I'm gonna make of it but it's fun to muck around in Sorry for huge gifs
  2. Amateur Game Making Night

    What we do over at TiGSource is have a thread with a link to a Google Hangoutin the original post, and whenever someone pops in they post in the thread
  3. Amateur Game Making Night

    Yes! This would be fun. We could transition directly to an Idle Jam if enough people are interested
  4. just discovered this site you are doing god's work
  5. nidhogg - Steam release 1/13/14

    Networking in gamemaker is actually pretty difficult for realtime online play, but the netcode used in Nidhogg is actually pretty ingenious for the limitations. I read somewhere that messhof used techniques similar to those used in GGPO for that "rollback" effect that looks lagless, but judging from experiences in this thread it could definitely use some work.
  6. Broken Age - Double Fine Adventure!

    This game is so RAD! I love this thing. I've not played many adventure games in the past but this is really something! EDIT:
  7. Life

    oh wow it's year of the horse bag
  8. There's really only one cash barrier but that can be circumvented by being a boss at the game I feel like DS opens later stuff to you if you can grab it, while LBW lets you poke at later stuff if you grind for it. Like in DS it's actually pretty simple to get a great scythe deep in the catacombs at level 1 within 20 minutes or less, you just need to be insanely perceptive.

    shoulda geocached the paintings and chicken scrawled the coordinates on the back of TC's amazing letter
  10. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    Ah ok that's interesting. Is that a special case or a rule? So we should change the official name to Der Überweinhandler
  11. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    Oh uh, I don't know German at all. Would it be like...Der Überweinhändler?
  12. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    Thanks for the kind words! the only thing I can think of the sneak a Congrats Nick in there is UV paint or microscopic imperfections in the cloth of his uniform that form clear but jumbled messages
  13. Anyone Remember?

    Oh man you nailed it! Thanks
  14. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    Hahahaha and like they're looking at the viewer while fighting so it looks like those medieval paintings where everyone's facing forward and posing but doing something impossible strenuous. Is a PSD ok?
  15. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    Awesome subbes! That's...an insane amount of consideration. I guess I'm not really surprised that calligraphy is so nuanced but that's granular to a degree I didn't expect! Kinda unhappy with the medals, but this is the latest iteration of Nick:
  16. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    Could anyone think of some war decorations nick would wear? The nick is almost done:
  17. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    It's "Die Überweinhandler". I'll PM you the other info when my account stuff is sorted out Thanks so much for your work so far!
  18. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    if we had millions of dollars to spend I would want to see a idle thumbs trading card game with a single ultra rare Most Famous Player card
