TRPG2 / Re: The purpose of the spin saws after Flint

If no one posted about their experiences with the game, there would be very little post about in many of these forums. This thread is fine. Relax.

TRPG2 / Re: Shadowling aging process
April 03, 2010, 04:57:25 PM
It might help to think of it like "going gray"--some people get gray hair early in their 20s, and some people don't go gray until they're in their 40s or 50s. It's hard to pinpoint a person's age just by looking at the pigmentation of their hair, and it's similarly imprecise trying to determine a shadowling's age by his or her hand/eye color.

I agree with KZ on the text thing

That was actually a bug that's been fixed for the next release of the demo. ;) Trust me--you'll be able to read everything no problem when the update comes out.

If I'd known this was how I wanted to make my living back in (or before) college, I probably would have! But I only realized how much I wanted to keep doing it once I was already enrolled in law school.

I've heard great things about the Battle for Wesnoth, but I have yet to play it. (I should make a mental note to review that game for IndieRPGs.com.)

About open source software in general: I absolutely love it. I use Audacity and OpenOffice.org quite frequently. :)

About open source games in particular: I think they're a great idea, but I personally have no interest in pursuing that sort of development. I never liked group projects back in school, and I have too strong of a vision for what I want in the games I develop to want to cede that much control over it.

You should always be skeptical of things you read online--and especially of things you read on April 1st. ;)

TSoG / Re: TSoG testing crew
April 02, 2010, 01:07:50 AM
I definitely approve of this! But I don't have time to organize it myself. :'(

I'll be happy to give you guys feedback if there are particular areas that I think need testing more than others, though.

Quote from: Tastidian on April 02, 2010, 12:27:19 AMCraig do you play your own game just for fun or to relax even old ones that are not so popular?

I have to have a pretty long cooling off period after finishing a game before I can go back and play it for fun. I've programmed every last nook and cranny of the thing, so giving myself room to forget stuff is the only way the experience can be fresh for me.

So far, the only one I've really done that with has been TRPG2--and it was actually quite a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the day, most likely years from now, when I can do that with TSoG and be suitably impressed with myself. ;)

Oh, you guys. Y'all crack me up. All I can say is, it will be a cold day in hell before I put my name to a game called "Shadowling Nerf-sassin." :D

She can already learn it--just not in the demo version that's online. ;)

The file posted there is a .rar file--it's kind of like a .zip file. Inside, you should find an .sol file, and that should hopefully work. :)

Keep an eye on your email--if it went through, you should get an email with a download link.

TSoG / Re: Progress of TSoG (aka TRPG3) Open Demo
March 31, 2010, 09:38:23 AM
The short answer is, I'm preparing the first downloadable demo, and I want it to be as polished as possible so I can send it out to various websites and get coverage of the game. It's a marketing thing. :)

Is this in TSoG? Make sure you're clicking twice to overwrite the saved game file.
