Re: A new tycoon game (very early dev)
Hi! Game Dev Tycoon is essentially a turn-based game, so if I were to implement someone like it, my first step would be to prototype a text-based version, with the goal of nailing the mechanics as much as possible before starting to work on art assets, sound, saving games, menu systems, etc... (this...

Re: dir - A match-N puzzle game
1.777.515 points. :awesome: That's like... the biggest combo chain I've ever seen. Awesome. I think my record is like 40x (and I didn't event get to 1m points). You should totally go for the grandmaster rank. For it you need: 1 million points, at least level 20 and a 25x combo during a single game ...

Re: dir - A match-N puzzle game
I straight ported Nixola's modified version, which is kind of awkward to play with fingers and doesn't handle bottom buttons but is a great start... That looks fantastic! What Love port did you use? love-android-sdl2? It looks very nice on the phone. I'll probably do a few modifications to the swip...

Re: dir - A match-N puzzle game
I think I have actually found a viable solution, using an emulator for testing (bluestacks). Then again, I'm not actually that interested in working on an android port right now, but this might change in the future. I might have to call dibs on that android port though If you decide to go for it, pl...

Re: dir - A match-N puzzle game
Clever idea with the LMB/RMB/wheelUp/wheelDown control scheme, but Nixola's swipe edit certainly feels more natural Yeah, it was probably too clever . It certainly caused confusion. I think I'll change to swiping. It will also be way better on web browsers and be consistent with an android version ...

I would love to port it to web browsers though, using either love-webplayer or punchdrunk. BTW, if someone steps up and ports ...

Re: dir - A match-N puzzle game
I can tell I'm already getting better at it, my fourth try I got to about 120k New strategies usually come up while you play, e.g. try to milk the first two levels for points, since large combos are easier there (note that clearing the entire board continues the combo after adding new tiles) or thi...

Re: dir - A match-N puzzle game
> Are certain moves prohibited? I can't find any reason why I can move some blocks, and I can't move others. You can move small blocks in any direction (up/down/left/right), but not the blocks that already matched (the big ones). You can't move if there is an adyacent block in the same direction. (e...

dir - A match-N puzzle game
Hi there! I finally finished "dir", a small, minimalistic puzzle game written using Love2D 0.9.2. Hope you like it. Working with Love has been a great experience so far. Here are two screenshots: https://raw.github.com/Beluki/dir/master/Screenshot/Screenshot1.png Features Original mechanic...
