could you remove the fast level because its 1. to annoying
2. could give someone a heart-attack etc.

I was going to remove the concept of speedy levels anyway, and I am going to replace them with levels that you have to complete in a time limit.

Update!
I have now got two characters in the game: Old Allo, and the kirby person which now has a name!
He will now be known as Murly.

At this exact moment, I have a variable that defines what character you are using, and I have a red block (gonna be changed into something better later) which changes the variable.

I DON'T, THEY'RE REALLY ANNOYING!

Couldn't the speedy levels become secret levels so you needn't play them to complete the game?

Yeah, I was about to suggest that.

how's demo 4 going?

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 2:15 pm

Demo 4 completely went wrong, basically.
What the game is like right now is very bad... not a lot of things seem to work properly and the whole thing is a mess. It's just too messy to continue now.
I have decided to CANCEL IT!

...

No, I'm just kidding. KIDDING! What I am going to do is start all over again and try to make it again but instead not being so messy and complicated to make. This doesn't mean that all that I've said over the last 5 page is out. I'm still making the same game, just less messy. (and I've already made a cool menu for the next one. Yay.)

Deleted. At least he didn't make the same mistake I did with my game: "Bump\TP

I need feedback or I will have no support and will have to cancel it."

At least I was just being silly in this post before I changed it! Dlcs's reply was truthful and worse than mine! here is his reply:

"The reason you are not getting feedback is probably cuz of the annoying setup you have to do with the files to play the game...

DEEMAN223344 wrote:I said that because you cancel all your gm games. And I was about to cancel mine.

I've only cancelled some games...

I have Click and Move and I'm still making Spacegame.

Anyway I might play the game later and leave feedback.

EDIT: Okay, I found this game unplayable, because it takes WAY TOO LONG to load, at least on my computer. (Probably because of the music.) Once I did get into the game, on the second level I went into one of the

things and the level didn't restart... it just made the

and

disappear, and there is no way of restarting other than exiting and going back on as far as I know, so then I would have to wait for the game to load AGAIN! which I did not do. So in the end I kinda got nowhere.

"

Here is the post Dlcs was replying to: " TP\Bump.

If I don't get feedback I'll have no support and will have to morph (!) into Dlcs18 ( !:lol:! ) and cancel this (!)." !!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all i have to say: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"!

do you want him to cancel it?

Deeman, if you don't like it, then don't go ruin it for others by saying that it's bad that it's still in progress.

If you don't like it and don't want to play it, then don't post in the thread and don't read it. Simple, no?

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 8:40 pm

I think he was kidding...

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:03 pm

He might be, but it's not funny.

Imagine it like this. Say that you're just starting out making video games, on the real market or on the internet, either one. You put hours of work into a game, and need to redo a few things to iron out bugs. If someone were to say something like "NOOOOOOO!! IT HASN'T BEEN CANCELED!" as a comment on this update about redoing the engine and the like, even if they were joking, that would give you a very bad impression of how the game's being received at that point in time. After something like that, if you were designing games as a hobby, would you feel inclined to continue working on that game at all?

No? Didn't think so.

The point is, that regardless of if Deeman's joking or not, it's not making anyone laugh. Dlcs put a lot of effort into Spacegame and he still is, but then Deeman comes in and decides that it's necessary to say something negative about it still being in progress.

Deeman; If Dlcs decided to cancel Spacegame for good after this, how do you think the people who like it and can't wait for it to come out are going to feel? I know that if he did cancel it, I would feel somewhere between disappointed and angry, but not angry at Dlcs. I would feel angry at anyone who decided to post anything negative about the game without stating that it's their opinion or without saying why. For instance, being negative when they learn the game won't be canceled.

Even if it's a joke, it can still drive people to postpone work on the game indefinitely. It's not funny in the slightest.

Don't go ruining it for others by giving the game criticism just for being worked on.

And what does "I was wrong!" mean?

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:58 am

Somthing like he thought Dlcs18 was going to cancle it or somthing?

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 5:44 am

Sounds to me like that's Deeman being hopeful about it being canceled.

looks cool.

btw im back on the forum with a new laptop

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:21 pm

Yes, I'm still watching this topic. I was being silly by using my point that Dlcs18 cancels all his games. If I had known what those replies were ahead of time, i wouldn't have posted that. My thoughts had busted out into one little post.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 4:06 am

Here's a small update, but an update nevertheless.

Recently I haven't been working on Spacegame at all... so there's nothing really new right now, but...

I just found and dusted off an old file I made on GM called "GraviCrate" which had most of the programming for gravity in FOUR directions. I've just added what seemed to be missing in the programming and now it seems to work! And believe me, it's a good thing I saw this, because otherwise I would still be thinking "Ugh... where do I start at all" and not working on the game.

Uh oh, post is getting long.

(Well not for you but for me writing it)
To put it simply, I've found a mostly-complete four-gravity system and added the extra bits so now I can build Spacegame (I restarted the project miserably, remember) off this. That means that Spacegame WILL have four directions of gravity when I get it off the bat again! YAY!

This also means some great news: I'm actually working on Spacegame again.

CatHat5678 · Post by **CatHat5678** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 4:46 am

WOW! four directions of gravity!

this game keeps getting better and
better!

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 2:17 pm

Wow

BTW: Can you upload "GraviCrate"???

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 5:22 pm

Okay, here is what Spacegame looks like now.
It still has the gravicrate sprite but all the others are ripped out of Spacegame.

See what you think of the four-grav system.

The link below is actually a bit reliable, because it's not a sharing site.

BTW: Awesome mechanism. I like the sprites

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - the yuvsstuff.net link also goes quite fast.

Nope. Those don't work either.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 7:30 pm

Well... is there a file hoster that does work for you? If there is and you tell me which one I will upload it there too.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:46 pm

Eh... This isn't as good as spacegame, I think it would be better to stick with the old engine because this is too idk what to say! really I think The other thing you made was alot better! I would even try that stuff you were throwing out and started the war abut canceling!
