I think if he'd titled the article, How to Hire an Artist [on the cheap] it probably wouldn't have caused such a ruckus. Then again, this is the internet; if you declare that you like puppies you'll get flamed for it by somebody.  People love to bitch, gripe, and claim superiority over others.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with what he said/wrote.  He was just sharing his ideas (that he has found success with before (so he claims)).

I have never understood people's dislike of iFrames.  They are just fine to use and, in some cases, necessary.  If used properly you can't even tell they are being used.  Now-a-days I tend to use AJAX to load content into < divs > rather than iFrames but that's a little more complicated than using a simple iFrame.

InC - what I like to do is determine the minimum screen resolution I'm designing for and then design around that res.  These days I set the lowest to 1024x768.  I make sure it fits on that resolution.

Another thing you could do is, using javascript, have a function call in the body tag onload (and onresize) that will set the height of your content.  It's not too complicated really and you should be able to do it!  You can find many examples on how to do it by searching google, I found this one on the first try

It was called M.A.S.K here in the states 'cause it was an acronym for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand which I'm sure doesn't translate into German the same way!  It was probably called something else there which would explain why you don't remember it!

I tried wikipedia to find what it was referred to in Germany but couldn't seem to locate the information

M.A.S.K!!



I used to love M.A.S.K... I can still sing the theme-song!

So nostalgic!!  Spectrum's got such super vision!!

Does the game have a menu screen?  Maybe a GUI?  A player character?  Since it's only a one-room game you really should post a bit more (especially since it's not the actual room that will be in the game).

Well as I suspected I am stuck here in the states.

Have fun all my fellow Mitteneers!  I wish I could be there!

I don't usually comment on games in here but I can't not ... this looks freakin' great guys!  Seriously.

I'm assuming the final character won't just be a reversed image for the left/right views?  It's just a nit-picky thing for me but I'd hate to see such graphical beauty tarnished by such a thing.  Granted I'm probably the only person picky (anal) enough to even notice it.

The story sounds intriguing, the visuals are great, the "feel" is polished ... I'm looking forward to this one.

A menu screen does not count as one of the two required screenshots.  Please update the post with another "in game" screenshot (non menu screen).

Sorry to hear it man ... if, by some miracle, you are able to recover it let me know.

I have removed all the off-topic posts!  The Hero / KQIX-Team ... please take the "is this for real?" posts into PMs and settle this there!

I understand this is a hot-topic that sparks some emotion but we need to stay on target in this thread.  There really is no way to "prove" one way or t'other (short of going to KQIX-Team's house and seeing it on the computer there) so we just need to accept it.  The thread doesn't break any rules (even if a tad mean-spirited) so it's "legal".

Let's all light a fire, sing some songs, and get along now...

Okay, if/when you have more to show let me know (via PM) and I'll reopen this thread!
Okay ... please update the first post.

[PS]

If you aren't far enough into development to have more than one screenshot to show you should have waited before posting.

Just being sorry for not having a lot to show isn't an acceptable excuse for not following the rules.

Please update the first post with another screenshot (how about what happens when you reel a fish in?)  If there is only one screen for the whole game how about a menu screen?  Or some sprites of the fisherman or the fish, or maybe some animations.

If you can't provide that the thread will need to be locked until you're far enough along in the development to warrant a GiP thread.

The clock is ticking...

PS
If anybody feels the overwhelming urge to debate the rules please send me a PM so as to not clutter up this thread with off-topic posts!  Thanks

I can confirm that Nacho will not be there.

I'm still up in the air ... but it's a slim chance at this point x 2

This thread.

snoopy - read the forum rules before posting in [any] boards.

Josh - when you're ready to post an update just drop me a PM and I'll reopen it for ya!

I think you jumped the gun a bit here ... spend some more development time (and read the forum rules) and send me a PM when you're actually ready and I will unlock this!

Good luck with it and congrats on finishing the other!

[STOP!]

STOP!

Post questions about, "how do I do this?" in the tech forums where they belong.

[update your first post with a plot synopsis telling what the game is about]

Here we go [yet] again ...

Since you cannot comprehend the rules (for the 130th time) let me tell you what you need to do here (so you can ignore it, and I'll end up needing to lock the thread anyway). 

It's pretty simple [to misunderstand completely]:

Please read the forum rules and do not dig up any threads.  Send a PM to the developer of the game instead.

Jimbob - if you're still working on this let me know when you want to post an update and I'll unlock this.
