Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'm really grateful that after all this time, people are still being positive about this project. TheOddByte: So, I've been saying beta out of habit. This will actually be an alpha, if I understand the qualifications correctly. I would like to launch it later this m...

Stuff ALWAYS takes longer than you expect, doesn't it? Hello everyone. I'm happy to say that, sans boss battle, the first level is playable! I'm hesitant to say "finished", but I'm getting really eager to finish this project. I've learned a lot about development, and I think I'm being held...

Hello all! Just dropping by to offer another update. I am not dead. The game is coming along well.

Nice game! I got to 10 min 20 sec the first time, so I feel pretty good about that.

Hi Karai, I found a solution to the problem I was having. map.lua:269 needs a tile.properties table, which doesn't seem to be present on animated tiles. So, I changed this line: elseif tile.properties.collidable == "true" then To this: elseif (tile.properties or {}).collidable == "tru...

Nice! When's the Kickstarter?

To be honest, it's not so much legal liability as developer harassement. Where I live, you need to file the contact information of a registered agent for an LLC. For indies such as myself, this could mean filing your home address and opening that can of worms. I will be contacting a lawyer to see if...
