ZERO PROMISE but add here anyway ( ML Wishlist )
Re: ZERO PROMISE but add here anyway ( ML Wishlist )
I'm perfectly fine with how the game is, it's one of my favourite games. Having played through the entire game I still think the price is too low. However I am intrigued by the idea of an Arse on Fire mode. Perhaps a Pure mode, where you always start at level 1 with 3 lives, an extra life after each level but with all enemies a little bit tougher/faster and the psychedelic visual effects turned all the way up making it harder than the current Pure mode without extra lives. Like an arcade mode designed to take your quarters.

BTW, level 8, surely a typo? "WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE? LOOKS LIKE RAIN, DEAR"

Any sign of this patch appearing or has work on it been abandoned? The audio issues are really irritating and spoil the fun if I'm being honest.

If you want some more details in this moment I am creating ( I am sure I've done it once VERY long ago but that probably was DX ) a "skeleton" game.cpp/h to be able to "just render a textured cube" so everything else should still "connect" to it and SHOULD allow me to debug something.bcass wrote:OK, thanks for the update.
This is at the moment for now "the most comprehensive android port I ever done", our latest Android thing was the times of iOS is FAR FAR away from all this and was really at least 10 times simpler, this is 10 times longer/more sophisitcated.

I'm surprised you're doing an Android port. I thought that platform was dead for indies these days? I released an original Android game a few years ago that had more effort put into it than your average shovelware clone or hobby project, and it has less than 50 downloads.

Ah, I didn't realise Android had found its way into headsets. That's a real shame, Android as a development platform is awful.

Well.. Android Studio current verision thankfully is not so bad as Eclipse used toi be .. BUT .. GRADLE and its shit IS ..
If we keep the fact - NO KIDDING - it takes AWFUL LOT OF TIME to *LAUNCH* an app via debugger than compiling the whole ap and such debugging/checking is a PAIN IN THE ARSE !!
Also every now and then all crashes you have to reboot all ..
.. and/or clear caches ..
.. and/or perform some voodoo ...
But yes, it's a bit less crap than what used to me that was ULTRA MEGA CRAP !
[edit] - WTF all those typo ??? I need a new kb !!!

Yeah it's grim. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Much the same can be said for most web and mobile development these days unfortunately. I honestly think we're going backwards.
