we could prolly only use one button for swapping items, i doubt he'd ever have that many that you'd need to scroll through for ages, then use that button for run.

[Ordvana]

I run up to the dying lad at the second screen, the Doctor stops to talk to him; I try to speed up the waffle (unintentionally, honest!) and press 'C' or 'X' - and the Doctor starts running at one place.
I'd say this exercising thing is, well, quite impolite, since the poor guy can't move and is about to die and all. )

The message 'Nothing useful here' is too generous with l's: 'usefull.'

Switching to the game's window isn't enough to be able to control the character. I have to click inside the window as well. That's my laziness speaking.

Smila,

I'm going to be fussy, because... well, I know you're up to it.

Your run animation is..  well, it's just a walk animation moving faster!
The Dr's legs need to move differently when running (besides the speed).

Oh, and as I said over at Ovine...
1. Popup instructions when new 'moves' are needed
2. Skippable conversations with skip key 'shown'.

:-)

* you can skip conversation quicker using the action button.
* the run animation is different to the walk anim, its a run, check it again
* there's only a few moves so i dont think we need to hold the players hand that much, the first 5 screens will use every move in the full game.
* we will add something that tells the player what he's holding tho.

Very nice. Couple of (minor) things I noticed. If you press x or c when talking to the first guy then the doctor stands running on the spot. I entered the minar gathering fields, it started the flying bird effect and then I left to get the disruptor. When I came back it was stopped, but when I got to the top of the rock it says "Look at..."

The run didn't bother me that much, but I think a "hold key to run" would work better.

Any plans how big this is going to be?

[smila]

nice 1 , yeah a few people have had the running on the spot so should be easy for stu to fix.
minar gathering fields - we'll look into that one ta.
i think i agree about having a run key too, just makes it easier.

got no idea how big its going to be but weve got plenty of ideas so it should be a fair size.

[smila]

so what we got so far then

1) - give run a button
2) - fix run on spot bug
3) - look at particles not working bug
4) - tell player what object they are holding - maybe
5) - start minars when speech bubble appears when you reach the top of the mound.

thats it so far i think.

6) - Lots more Daleks !

[smila]

oh dont worry about that , when the game continues theres lots more.

[RobF]

Love it so far!

Rest in peace not rest in piece though, unless you're punning

Also, totally needs a Dalek sample on that last bit.

I'm hurt that my suggestion is the only one marked 'maybe'. I don't think you love me anymore. *sniffle*
...at least the game running a big slowly here and there (on my ancient rig) is nothing compared to this forum's sluggishness. 

I need a laugh...think about including Morbius.
...or at least the Sontarans or the Judoon.

[RobF]

Yeah, we've got a bit of a thing at the moment where "I post news and for 2 days we get linkbacked to fuck".

Probably best I don't post news often ;D

[Sokurah]

It's just that...the Interwebs loves ya, Bob.

The sluggishness is okay - it not at all times after all...
...just as long as you promise to make a backup of the site once in a while.

we had samples and were gunna use them there but decided against it cos there's no more speech in the game. guess we could try it tho.

Could do something like I did with the GlaDOS sound in ASCIIpOrtal. Think the adults in peanuts, but a daleky one.

Nice to see the silhouettes are of REAL daleks and not the 2010 abominations.
