Those of you having to throw in the towel with unfinished projects: why not roll these projects over to next month? Tying a cloak and dagger into a ‘darkness’ wouldn’t be the biggest stretch.

That's kind of against the rules.

Oh sorry ~ yeah that makes sense.

Unless the MAGS winner decides to make a topic like "Finish a previously started MAGS game that you never finished..."   

Ah! A chance to make a new knight for Pete!
Inspiring topic, maybe it'll push me to finish that game! 

Is this the latest US presidential debate? 

[Types]

In Explore Project->Audio->Types->Music

Now on the Property panes you can define the MaxChannels and Crossfade tracks.

(you can also see it in Adeel's image posted right above yours.)
Hope it helps. 

Two colours: black AND white!

Wait... since black and white aren't technically real colors, you're game is actually colorless! 

Congrats on the release, it looks awesome!

I got tired of searching for the bricks, so digital prototype it is... 

With and without BG:





Created with LDD (Lego Digital Designer)

Just a thought, but could you replace the animate+move with a walk command instead? Since walk moves and plays the animation.

Edit: and/or split the animation in 2. Use the tumbling as loop 0 and flat on the floor as loop 1, then run loop0 and end at loop 1.

Both Gurok and Scavanger have done some "looks like first person 3D stuff"... 
So, yes, it's possible.

Was the portable stove broken?
Did she forget to turn it on? 
Did she found something unexpected inside the seagull?

I do have a couple days free, but have other stuff and I want to do, and sitting at the computer isn't one of them... maybe if I feel inspired I'll build a sprite... 

I'm seeling this fine leather jackets... 

I won't make it, been busy with RL and haven't even started. 

I think you answered your own question...

If they only provide you with the pre-cut, then if you have no other choice, and they sell more paper, cause you don't optimally use it.

I have the same problem. I can understand that they don't fit our mini-oven, but they should roughly fit the standard oven of 60x60 cm... 

[Game.DoOnceOnly]

just for future reference, you could also use a Game.DoOnceOnly. That would save you for creating a variable just for the effect, or you could check if the player has the item in inventory (though if he lost it when using it and you didn't want him to get a new fork, then the first option it best. 

I think the problem is that we've been creating a "me" culture for quite some time now.
Whenever I see someone claim "My body, my choice" in relation to wearing a mask, I sigh and think "me, me, me... it all handles about "me"... fk everybody else". 

Love the clouds! 
The water looks a bit "plastic" to me though.
Mountains look okay, but they're too far away to give other comment.

Composition of the scene is relaxing. 

I almost agree with Sinitrena... but I claim he's "almonds", as it's perfect fit in Danish in the plural. 

Hugo?

This is my code for the room. Hope it can give you some ideas on how to code yours.
I think all the code is contained in here, but there might be some global variables and code in Global Script... but I need to go to bed and have no time to check or clean up the "useless" code.

I did something like that for a game of mine, though mine was an bow and arrow.

Basically what I did, was in rep_exec_always added a small random value to the mouse position.
