Just played Black Morph and I feld the need to tell you right now that it is aaaawesome!

Nice gameplay, cute graphics and lovely story - you need to continue it.

I enjoyed testing the changes and to go on in the story.
And when I finally was able to 'defeat' the bird it was like 'yeah - now take this, and take that and ...'

Very well done - good team - go on developing, please

Sorry. I had to restart the poll. I thought I had made it so that it would only show the result after the voting period, but for some reason that wasn't the case.

Could the person who already voted please vote again? Sorry and Thanks.

Hmmmm... I'm having some problems downloading Black Morph. I've tried twice now and the download keeps freezing and crashing.

I've heard of others having trouble downloading from Game Jolt. Any possibility of a mirror link?

EDIT: Third time's the charm I guess. It worked! Maybe just momentary connection issues?

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #64 on:** 02 Feb 2017, 18:42 »

I'll wait for the mirror, since Game Jolt doesn't work for me.

I've added the game on the database.
You can now get the game on Google Drive (mirror).

@Tabata and Riaise : Thanks for the kind words. Selmiak really outdid himself.

@Slasher: I didn't know about the quit bug. I'll search for the patch.

@ Shadow : someone else has complained about the 1st puzzle on the french forum. I'll add a clue once the vote is over.

I have only played Shunday so far. I liked the stylish writing and the 1st puzzle but I have to admit that

Cheers guys so the good words so far. I'm gonna finish this game. It would be a waste of what I feel is quite a good story (which the current version only really hints at) if I didn't.

There is actually a cheat built in to skip that part that I used during testing, and I left it in for now in case the

proved too frustrating for some.

I don't really want to make it too cheap though by just posting the cheat in here. If anyone really needs it please PM me and I will tell you.

yeah, thanks Tabata and Riaise. Only 16 colors baby!!!

@creamy: we should just have a quit promt on ESC or so...

Black Morph team: While playing I got an internal error that shut down the game and gave the following message. "Error: Unable to render character 11 (New character) because loop 1 does not exist in view 35". I assume I just did some unexpected interaction to cause this to happen.

~~I know it's just a demo so I'm not sure if it just cuts off or if there is a clear end point. I'll try to play again later.~~

Decided to give it one more go before bed and there was something to let me know I completed the demo.

Creamy · « **Reply #70 on:** 07 Feb 2017, 20:59 »

Thanks for reporting the bug, Twirlly. I hope you enjoyed the game nonetheless.

I've played both Shunday, Black morph and Hyde and seek, and while the puzzles of Shunday really weren't my cup of tea, it was sort of a fun idea with making counting on your fingers a puzzle.
Hyde and seek also had some frustrating trial and error, but the punchline at the end had me giggling.

Black morph had both interesting game mechanics as well as excellent pixel-art, it would be cool to se it made into a longer game.

I'm sorry I never managed to make an entry for this month, I got busy with other things and never made much of my concept, the one I described earlier with the commissar getting mistaken for a deserter,
but I have been thinking about making a regular AGS game of that concept instead, if anyone thinks it would be worth it.

Riaise · « **Reply #72 on:** 08 Feb 2017, 17:08 »

I do! The concept sounds really good, and it's interesting to see the stories of the secondary characters from Sniper and Spotter. I'd play it!

Great to hear that you liked it, I'm thinking about beginning to work on it again once I'm finished with my current AGS project.

Creamy · « **Reply #74 on:** 11 Feb 2017, 11:44 »

@ Blondbraid : I'll be glad to come back to Stalingrad - so to speak - no matter if we play sniper, spotter or a commissar.

With all the games I've been playing for the AGS awards, I forgot to report about Hyde and Seek : the puzzle felt random but I liked the sweet outcome. I didn't see that coming.

When this MAGS competition is over, there'll be an update of Black Morph to fix the problems that have been reported. I'll probably stop working on the game afterwards because Selmiak wants a complete overhaul of the game that I disagree with.

selmiak · « **Reply #75 on:** 11 Feb 2017, 13:53 »

A complete overhaul of 2,5 rooms, don't be ridiculous. It's for making a better game and making morph great again.

Creamy · « **Reply #76 on:** 11 Feb 2017, 16:27 »

It's not just a matter of work. I also happen to prefer the game the way it is

I won't stop you revamping/continuing it though, as long as the current demo is still available.

Speaking of unfinished games, what happened to gameboy's boarded house?

Stupot · « **Reply #77 on:** 13 Feb 2017, 03:52 »

Three days left to vote, guys. Don't forget.

And while you're there, what do you think of using the poll for voting as opposed to PMing the MAGS Host? I must say we got a few more votes than normal this month. My only problem is that I can't see who voted. I don't know if that needs to be an issue but I quite like knowing who is voting, to keep an eye on trends etc.

What do y'all think?

Does that mean I can vote millions of times?

Personally, I like it. It doesn't feel as intimidating or as formal as sending a PM.
Is that weird of me? $:-\$

It's a shame that you can't see who voted for what though. I like hear about those stats and trends.
