The NEW random and probably NSFW thread of random things...

...picking up where we left off there.

GameMaker - you've come a long way, maybe?

That's a far cry from the $8 registration I recall.
Aside from compiling for iOS and Android (and HTML5 I suppose though I still find that useless), is it different/better enough to warrant such expense?

I just realized that sample I used in Van Damnation at the start of each level was from Steely Dans' "Bodhisattva"

Trivia, I didn't realize it because it was from a random sample collection.

The Bargain Thread. With bargains. In it. It's a thread.

Books about British computerindustry in the 80's?

Sokurah — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:57:14 -0400

We should all know of The Ultimate History of Video Games which is a great book that chronicles the emerging arcade gaming culture in detail, but I'd like to know if there are any books, that go into as much detail, about the British computer industry and all the many microcomputers produced there in the 80's.
Are there any?

The Brand Spanking New Who Thread

New thread! New TARDIS!

Hi...

I've not been around much.

That's because I've been in and out of hospital. Over the last few months I've developed some chronic health problems.

The doc thinks it might all be linked. I've got painful cysts on some of my organs and my breathing is difficult and painful. I've been lucky to have an amazing girlfriend who's stood by me through all this. They're close to making a diagnosis but it's either:

A death sentence, albeit a slow and agonizing one.

Or

I'll need major surgery to correct whatever has gone wrong.

Also may lose my job. And my laptop doesn't work anymore.

DESPITE all that, I want to get back into making games, and I'm really trying to be positive.

The Dwarf Fortress thread

SmileyMan — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:57:03 -0400

OK, since I love Dwarf Fortress, and I read the dev blog every day, I thought I'd start a thread to keep the slightly less stalkerish amongst you up to speed with developments on this amazing game.

I won't be parroting the entire dev log verbatim, just popping in the odd bit here or there that just seems particularly awesome. By "awesome" I usually mean "insanely detailed bit of modelling". It's all the stuff that you can pretty much guarantee would never be in an EA title.

So to start off, here's a snippet from the latest log, which is about using soap to clean the body, which helps prevent wounds from being infected...

"Dwarf Fortress Development Log" said:
Eyelids clean the eyes so you don't have to soap them off, but if an eyelid is torn off, I think they might soap the eyes

That's gonna sting!

FINALLY

Platman... or whatever it will be called...

hitm4n — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 05:53:00 -0400

I'm on it again. This time in Unity. And this time its for keeps (probably, possibly, maybe). I've got a bit of code in there, the entire gfx set is done in my usual ripped off, slightly updated style. I have built the entire map including all life pickups, fruit pickups, door placement and colliders for walls and today i are mostly importing that into Unity. I have an animated and moving Platman character although he is a bit glitchy and slow right now, getting a little help with that... Heres the unity project view, tileset and first 4 rooms built in tiled. (anyone using unity for a 2d game btw, a new tool is out called unitmx for importing from tiled.)

Will i get it finished? Maybe not, but i'm giving it a good go...

I was trying to find something funny to look up on youtube

WOS - Where is Martijn

hitm4n — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:01:10 -0400

Its very unusual for Martijn to not be updating WOS on an almost daily basis and its been almost 1 month now since an update. Has anyone heard anything about Martijn on other forums?
