beetlefeet has uploaded a new file to team Monsterworks. (Troll: Chronicles of Bonecruncher - Prolog: The Plight of the Pigs) (466 days ago)
beetlefeet had his suspicion confirmed. Slow framerate dodgy collision code = boss falls through the ground on some machines. Fix is underway. (466 days ago)
beetlefeet meant "release mode = missing boss syndrome". Will have to debug later tonight :( (467 days ago)

beetlefeet has uploaded a new file to team Monsterworks. (Troll: Chronicles of Bonecruncher.) (467 days ago)
beetlefeet seems to use just 30MB, which is surprising considering it's pygame jsut like maxxor's. Unless py2exe is hiding another 100MB in some other process I can't see. (467 days ago)
beetlefeet is seemingly a little doomed. Have to go out for dinner tonight at like 6 ><; (467 days ago)

beetlefeet has uploaded a new screenshot to team Monsterworks. (Message line, Potions.) (468 days ago)
beetlefeet Only really needs spike traps or poison water, a couple more enemies, more tiles and a nice big interesting level to finish. Nice to haves: Respawn spots, message triggers, armour for monsters and weapon upgrade to penetrate, music, more sounds, more storyline. (468 days ago)
beetlefeet did health potions, monster hit points, action message log system, big boss guy (needs better behaviour and needs to shoot still) and switched to pixel perfect collision tests. (468 days ago)

beetlefeet also thanks simon! We should make this a semi regular occurance, perhaps the odd much shorter jams over individual weekends (with plenty of notice). (572 days ago)
beetlefeet says Rabbits! Why didn't I think of that? I've been playing the games released here on GJ and gotta say they're AWESOME. So far my vote would have gone to The Things. That is some seriously awesome polish and heaps of fun (but HARD! I might have to wait until you have a save game feature before I go for the Things home planet in earnest as I only got to level 5 or 6 before I needed a break, it's intense :) Great work Blackwell Bros and everyone else. (572 days ago)
beetlefeet 's play that he had to go to instead of nullarbor was pretty terrible ><; Next time. (572 days ago)

beetlefeet has posted a new comment on team Orbit. (580 days ago)
beetlefeet added walls. After thinking for a couple days I just did it the easy way and lo and behold it seems to be fine. It just pushes them out at right angles the shortest way. I worry that if it ever pushes one into another wall things will be bad, might need to go for angled walls aswell for more interesting level layouts.. (580 days ago)
