They do already, but I could lengthen the reload time.

The game loading and then going blank is something I've seen and fixed in Safari, but not Firefox. What version of Firefox are you using?

Sluggish in what way?

Thanks a lot. I've tried to keep everything minimal.

I would prefer to find a set of keys that work for most people. An options screen sounds too heavyweight for a web game.

Nice idea. However, I am aiming to make a game about beating a system, rather than out-thinking someone else. The idea is to present the player with set-pieces - mostly pitched battles - that involve a few NPCs that behave in a predictabl

Thanks very much for your detailed feedback. The player will get the mortar launcher - still figuring out how to make the controls work. I hadn't thought of giving the enemies limited ammo. I will try it and see how it feels. I haven't do

That's a good idea. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I should have noticed this myself, as I live in Berlin (but have my keyboard set to English). Will be changing the controls to try and support Dvorak, Qwerty and Germans.

Yes, maybe bullet hits could send the player/enemies into a stagger as well as causing the existing blood spurt?

by maryrosecook 16y ago
That is very useful - thanks a lot. I will try and find a set of keys that work well with both Qwerty and Dvorak.

I agree the name is risky. It was actually a funny phrase that occurred to me when I started work on the game. Later, when I started talking about it to my friends, I said it was only the working title, but lots of people said I should ke

Yes, both good points - thanks. I'm considering doing an unrealistic Halo-like health system. That is, if you take too much damage too quickly, you die, but your health recharges when you're not getting hit. I think this allows set pieces

Thank you. I wish I was a better animater and drawer.

I think you're right that it would have been quicker in Flash. The engine I used is mostly a drawing engine, with some basic game stuff included (particles, the beginnings of collision detection). However, this project was all about learn

Thanks a lot. Yes: collision detection is flaky after some recent changes. Going to work on it.

Use Google Chrome to play the game. I've been working on this in my spare time for the last few months. This is an alpha version. The development has been iterative: adding something, trying it out, then often removing it. The gameplay

After reading quite a lot of your homepage, I think I've figured out that Photoshop layer styles are textures you apply to vector shapes. Is this right? If so, I'd suggest a sentence that states this near the top of the page.

I went to University and had a great time, but the seven years since I graduated have been far better. At University, it's easy to coast academically and socially and politically and creatively because good options are laid out in front of

Yes, I copped a bunch of code from Ryan Dahl's demo chat app.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't remove HTML/script tags from the input because it was just a mini project to learn Node.js. Now, I'm really glad I didn't because the XSS battles were fun to watch. I'll be keeping an eye on the site duri

streethoarding.com now has quite a few people posting lolcats, JS redirects, JS alerts and random words.

And thanks for the compliments.

Yes, HTML and script tags are left as is. People are in the middle of abusing this right now. My friend has just pointed out that the whole of jQuery is at everyone's disposal, too.
