  1. Really well done with this guys, Bear's Black Heart is definitely a stand out wiz jam game and for it to get this much attention is great, very well deserved!

     

    Thanks for posting your stats, I often hear game devs talking about the huge effects of being featured on a big channel but people rarely like to talk numbers.

     

    As an aside, Big Bad Spanish looks really good as well, I've been slowly learning Spanish over the past couple of years and having that feeling of pressure is so important.


  2. Took a while to get here but well worth the wait.

    I've never seen any of these sweets before, can't wait to try them. Kettle crisps are even pretty common here (my favourite crisp brand no less) but only in very traditional flavours, Korean Barbecue was a big surprise.

    The Coldblums have already had some good use and I'm going to frame the prints as soon as I can. Nearly discarded them with the box since their little envelope is the same colour but they are now safe and sound.

     

    This is all really amazing thanks, @tabacco!


  3. Version 5 is now up - now with sounds and juice (only half of which can be seen in this gif)!

    Missed announcing version 4 due to the holidays.

  4. Okay, so this isn't the main game (GDC'12: The Death of Nick Breckon - an RPG adventure) that I was working on.

     

    I've put that game on a short pause due to some much needed redesign.
    In the mean time I've moved over to this game.

     

    Dead Letters is a (hopefully educational) typing game in the style of duck hunt.

     

    I had the idea for this game somepoint after deciding to make a quicktime based combat system and sometime before failing to learn to touch type using Mavis Beacon in middle school.

  5. A really nice experience, I've had an idea to do something like this floating around for a couple of years now, a text adventure with multiple dimensions, lovely to see it realised! The refs were also on point, that horse bag!

     

    The only thing is the directions were slightly off, I had to go a bit pass the direction given say north to find the path or item there but that's probably an Alpha engine thing?


  6. Okay, so I've spent the last week or so trying to rework the quick time system and making a start on the art.

    At first I was trying to build a system that worked based on a predefined array of quick time key objects and pulled them in one at a time.

    This works fine for your standard quick time event where you just press 4 buttons in a row and a cutscene continues. 

    But for GDC'12:TDNB, I really need something more dynamic and flexible.

    So after a week of mostly doing other things I have built a system which basically just spawns a button and then waits for input when a script requires it.

    Pretty simple really.....

     

    This is a work in progress of the fighter scene, you press W to engage and then you get a random assortment of As and Ds to press. (art place holder)

    Update 2 - Progress.gif

     

    Next is working on the wizard and rogue and then finally the bard.

    After which I'll move onto the overworld.


  7. So we've been talking on the slack about the unexplained appearance of interference in the episodes of late.

     

    The thing is, Chris knows his stuff so surely if this was unintentional he would of said something? Right?

     

    Let's get to the bottom of this, be it an ARG or not.
