Re: brickz - a highly addictive brick game

Nicely chaotic. It feels very much based on luck though. Sometimes I did not get a single item, was stuck with a single ball and ended with low score. Other times I got several multi-balls and the "wall" and in seconds I got a score of 10700. There is no way to aim the ball with the paddle...

Re: Refractor - Devlog

Interesting idea but the interface confused me for some minutes. I know it is not complete yet but in current form I was more figuring out the interface than playing. I spent longer than I want to admit on trying to connect two Notes: It only works when dragging the connection from output to input. ...

Re: Abtastorgan - a qwop speed puzzler

Thanks for playing :) I miss being able to know what the time limit was when solving a level in the first try, just to know how close I was to it. Hm yes. I had thought about always displaying the time limits for gold/silver/bronze. On the other hand there is a balance between giving info and confus...

Re: Image format size pickle

Disclaimer: I am not sure if I have 100% understood what you are trying to do. Okey number wise i just realized the problem is bigger than a thought. The same file that as a jpg only takes 620kb is 10.8mb as a png. Even when removing colours to a hefty quality drop png still stays in the several mb ...

Re: Have some troubles with Animation again

Hi
it is hard to help without seeing the full error message.
Also that code uses several png-files that it is best to include a full .love with all required files.
Otherwise it is too cumbersome to run the code which makes it harder to find the error.

Re: Image format size pickle

How about using two files per image?
1) the photo as jpg file
2) the transparent areas, as a black&white png file

Basically this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(com ... mage_masks

Re: A question you can't answer: how to determine credits

If both parties are happy with an agreement then it is "probably fair." For example if a random online musician is offering his soundtrack for $20 per track and you are willing to pay that price then it is fair. Why should it matter to the musician how much time you spent coding? He wants ...

Re: Tips & advice for making a small beginner project?

I do not know that game but it seems to be some 2D RPG/puzzle game. Depending on how unique each room/puzzle is, you are basically making multiple games within one game. There may be mechanics that only get used for one scripted event and so on. Also for such game you need many different graphics. E...
