I've spotted the too, but I'm sorry I can't test it harder 'til I finish my exams. Because of that I insisted a lot in the new beta to appear sooner than my exams

Bug: If you place the ball (or other items that need to be used from the left) on the far left of the screen the monster will walk towards it, but won't be able to use it. The monster will however walk on the spot next to the ball indefinatly untill the object is moved, taken away.

Fix: allow objects to be used from either side, not just the left.


Bug: If debug mode is activated and then you go to inventory, you can't disable debug mode until after the inventory is left.

Hiya, thanks - didnt spot either of them. allowing items to be used from any angle will make it far harder to animate, each item has its own cords where the monster has to stand and use it, and also specifies what animation the monster should go into. so eventually the monster will react to everything much better, and new items which are downloaded can add new animations for the monsters etc etc.

i'll make sure the use spot is within the monsters range when placing items, not sure about the debug/menu thingy, i'll look into that - shouldn't do it anyway.

thanks again

If any of you are good Beta programmers/testers i need you're help in making then debugging an upcoming GP32 game.

Care to help me?
Once it's finished it will be put on a website and people must pay to download the fullversion of it don't worry everybody who help with the project gets their name on the credit and a perentage of the total annual profits in you're local currency.

coding in the first colluseum game at the moment, much more fun than i expected. its called "Monster Defence" at the moment, and your monster must protect a portal, the map has many paths and at the end of each path is a spawn point.

at the start of each round, monsters get spawned and head towards the portal, if your monster manages to kill them all before they reach the portal you progresss to the next round.

you gain experiance while fighting, and can issue orders to your monster by making it move to a certain position, or using a certain skill its learnt, the monster can do ok without help but issuing commands will always make it a bit easier (especially if you have a team game).

at the end of each round, you can either take the money and quit, or try to double up the money by going onto the next round - if you die, you get nothing (apart from the EXP gained while fighitng etc) and have to pay medical bills etc.

fighting and AI is still very dodgy, but its coming along - it's going to have different maps, and maybe even some sort of shop where you can buy towers and plonk them down (which act as defence, shooting the enemy) - but i dont want to turn it to much into an RTS so i may limit that somewhat.

anyway, that'll be in the next beta once its done.

[pakoito]

And for when will that beta be????? I finish my exams this Friday, so I'll do all my acumulated work between this weekend and next week

[pakoito]

Hiya, beta testing submissions is now closed,

damn. i completely missed this, now i'm hitting myself...

[pakoito]

Hi, my friend. How does the new beta go?

[Pirotic]

Hehe, well the original beta tests was to make sure the core engine loop worked - and to gather up all the suggestions and ideas.

it's the big wait now while i go and make all that feedback into a game, so no beta for a while im afraid.
