ColourWise

Without any real knowledge of the gameplay, I'd like to make a suggestion.

In pushover (awesome game with dominoes), there are all sorts of dominoes that do different things.  It seems like in your game different blocks do different things.

However, on the last level, all of the dominoes (except for the one that has to fall last) looked exactly the same, but still had special functions.  I am suggesting making a level where all of the blocks that do stuff look exactly the same, but they do have different functions, and the player has to guess and test to decipher the function before really attempting a way to solve the puzzle.

Pushover was really an awesome game (actually is an awesome game, I must fin those old floppy disks)! We planned a surprise or two for the last levels of ColourWise too It will spice things up towards the end of the story, but I cannot say more, or I'll spoil the surprise You'll see soon!

Careful though, a level can become very frustrating if you are making all stones look the same, and reacting different. It's like allowing to chose from one of 10x10 price tickets, and only in five, there is a prize, and you have to draw ten times, never getting an empty envelope. I'd rather solve a level that is tricky to figure out but with predicatable tiles.

But *curious* about your planned surprises- since by now, I know you're a resourceful man...

www.abandonia.com has crazy amounts of cool old DOS games.  Like pushover, might and magic 2, life and death, life and death 2, carmen sandiego, and sim games (like simfarm).

Good luck, your project looks great!

Luck on yer. If it backfires, you can still make the red cube the new star of some jell-o ad

Ever wondered how it is to design a ColourWise level?
Me neither, since I got lost in the woods and found there is much more valuable knowledge, like correctly reading isopleths or UTM coordinates.

Anyway, these two screenshots show just that:




The last mile is always the most painful.

Finally the project is coming to an end. Let me introduce our musician to you, arjanpelle, an AGS lurker who agreed to help us with his tunes. He took the job on a very short notice and we thank him warmly for that.

We're reaching the release date (should be 8th of July) and we need 3 beta testers. One of them should be FSi (please write here to confirm FSi), the other two positions are still open.

English as a mother toungue and the availability of Windows Vista are welcomed albeit not necessary.

Write here / PM me to volounteer!

Same here. I'd like to be a beta-tester, if possible.

[bicilotti]

And two they were. Now then, I'll contact FSi and if he is still in we're full. Yay!

[Dualnames]

I'll get those levels Bici. I promise.
I got 14 and he wants 20...

By the way, why so stuck with FSi?
Not that he's not the hell of a beta testing being, proved his title on lc3, but why?

[bicilotti]

By the way, why so stuck with FSi?

Because once I've seen a bug report he was compiling: it was 3 pages long, every bug stated with a remarkable precision.

By the way, he confirmed he's in, yay!

This Ghost's work's done- now to press thumbs, sacrifice a small chicken and
rattle the dice for luck.

[Buckethead]

reminds me of Portal's cube. Which is always a good thing

I'm very excited for this one!
Are you still thinking the game will be ready by July 8th or are you more likely to go slightly beyond that?

Eegra has got to judge them. As soon as it's judged I'll release it! Since the deadline for the cometition is 14.00 of tomorrow I hope to release it soon.
