look! I'm finally making use of the web space sylpher's been lending me for ages!
My mate Kevin has put together (under my watchful and guiding eyes) THIS amazing self-promotional web site for me:
http://www.sylpher.com/vegetablegames
There's even an on-line game with a prize!! How dedicated to my fans am I?!?! :-X
You are seriously twisted.
Great! :D But you should add also RLBAT and those 'RON' games you made for completeness!
Thanks! But this is a page JUST for the vegetables. I think it would confuse my message if I started putting my other games on there as well... They're of a different era. :-*
Hehe I understand, but there should be an online place where people can surf the whole Mostly kingdom easily, at least some links in the sites to link to others.
I guess I'll have to look into it! 8) 8)
Hi mister !
I really liked your game, but I could never figure out how to obtain a big score... In fact I didn't really understand the tutorial But eh, I still have to learn english :P
Anyway, I have made a plugin wich allows an AGS game to read / access an internet webpage. You could for exemple acces a PHP page from your game which would update the page with best scores, each time someone who has played your game wish to put his score on the net.
Just an idea though. Tell me if it interests you :)
that sounds fascinating!!! If you e-mail me the plug-in (or point me to a link) I'd love to play around with it, and see if I can get it to work!
It does sound HORRIBLY complicated though! ;D :D
No problem, I will send it to you by email.
In fact, there is only one function :
string ReadWebPage( string url);
which returns the web page content.
It works the same way as any browser.
you could have for exemple :
ReadWebPage("http://mywebsite.com/scores.php?action=add&score=123123&name=Dorcan");
:)
Hi Dorcan.
That sound like it could be a useful Plugin for some things.
Anyway I could get a copy of it too? Thanks.
I only had three seizures looking at that page.
Lame.
I suggest a large splashpage alternately flashing red and blue, really, really fast, that way only the strongest will survive to make it to the next page. MUHAHAHA!
Captain, I've sended you an email.
Barbarian, the plugin is still experimental, when it's finished, I'll make it accessible for everybody.
Rode, does this mean I've cured you of your continuous seizures?!?! If you only flipped out 3 times while looking at my page, you should look at it all the time! I bet those three you snuck in were just when you looked at the full colour screen shots right?
Keep your eyes on the soothing background... let the vegetables calm you...
That prize for the naughty bits game is more seizure-inducing than the website. CHI monkey.
A Captain Mostly website brings me joy! I have won the prize and I cannot wait to find out what it is! Especially if it is seizure inducing (good thing I don't have seizures!)!
I tried to download the prize but it didn't work - is it just me or is that the joke -
Yours sincerely,
Idiot.
there is a prize... I don't know why you can't download it though... ALSO, I wouldn't have expected it to be particularly seizure enducing though!!!
will look into this.
This prize is more confusing than RLATBTAT.
Which is awesome.
Yay Mostly!
Edit:
Aaaaand now that I read the readme, I actually know what to do.
My high score is 160.
Have mercy, I'm colourblind!
for the colourblind (and I actually DID think to myself while making the prize that I really shouldn't make a game that discriminates against this group of people)
The PINK items are:
the cows
the chairs
and the bicicles
the BLUE items are:
the wizardly hats
the tamborines
and the vases-with-flowers
and the YELLOW items are:
The turnips
The pens
and the light bulbs.
I hope this is of some small help (not least, perhaps, in identifying what my drawings are meant to be!)

Rodekill, something like these (http://www.etowizzywig.netfirms.com/epilepsy.html) have?
finally, the magic of growing fantasy vegetables is available to the general public. the underdogs better putthis on their page, or i will just fret. fret i say.
Oh the underdogs... I have NO idea how to get listed on that site. It's like when Dana International (the Eurovision song contest transexual) tried to break America. It didn't matter how much of herself she put out there, it just wouldn't stick...
I think they're more to do with abandonware, not freeware aren't they?
I think they do freeware. I know I've seen a lot of freeware stuff on there, including a good deal of ags games. I haven't the foggiest how they end up listed on the site. My guess is that it is up to the whims of whoever runs that place. Would probably have to mention VPXT on the underdogs forums or somesuch. If anyone else knows anything about listing on underdogs, feel free to speak up.
I like the website because it was made with flash. I instantly respect anything made in flash.
I once looked at the forums, and there were rules like "please don't come here to plug your game! We already have enough to write about" or something.
I think you must have to know someone who knows someone...
As such, if anyone here knows anyone at the Underdogs, please could you plug my game at them as I'm a really REALLY nice guy!
Scid used to do reviews of AGS games at The Underdogs... But I suppose that doesn't help anyone...
Just a hunch, but I think getting leisted there may have to do with whether the gal who runs the site has played the game -- she seems to like the adventure genre a lot (over something like action games, anyway).
That's purely speculation, though.
Why? What happened to Scid?!?! Did I miss something big?
No idea -- I'm just saying that she seems to like the adventure genre a lot, and that may factor into the equation.
I guess I'll have to try envagle myself into the clique...
