My game! There are no gamebreaking bugs, although the final boss has a nasty habit of disappearing sometimes (he comes back if you die). If you have any suggestions on how to fix that, great! If not, enjoy this game!

EDIT: Fixed a minor error and now this is the EXE.

Re: Invictus (beta)
I get an Error right after starting up the game -
Code: Select all
Could not open file shmuppics/???.png. Does not exist.

Re: Invictus (beta)
I would try it but I'm not waiting for the 90MB file if there is an error causing it to crash at startup, haha. Also, check out [wiki]Game Distribution[/wiki], the file appeared to be in zip format (unless it contains a .love and a readme or something?).
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.

Oh, pofflesocks.
OH. I've discovered the problem. This was developed on a Mac, and I have a picture entitled "???," which Windows deems unacceptable. That's what's causing the error. I'll have to make a minor correction.

I did now. It's an EXE, too.

Re: Invictus (beta) (yes it works now)
This game ran very well in linux.
You might want to tone down the size of some of the pictures & audio. You've got a lot of MB, for a small game.
If you can't do this, consider having a loading screen. It took a few seconds for my machine to start the game, and I was concerned it was blowing up.
I ran into the problem of when to display messages to the user, as when you're playing, not only is it very distracting, but annoying to show them as you're playing. It was hard to find a place to put them, even. My solution was to make a break in the action, and then push the messages. Check out my LD24 for how I did this: https://github.com/josefnpat/LD24

I'm not entirely sure how to make a loading screen. I mean, the game won't display anything while it's booting, right?
