unprecedented server load. The

funnyboy044, my teeth hurt after reading your description! It's better (or worse) than Rocchinator's and my ingredient lists!
Such a bold, eye-catching design!

Also, Tabata, cheese drink sounds kinda gross, but is it weird I want to try it?
I like the way you filled the empty space, which is harder in this colouring ball than most.

That looks magnificent, horusr. :O

So expensive though.

Yeah right

She is right.

When Steamworks games require you to have Steam running to play your game, that's DRM.
When the Steam client generates a custom executable on installation, that's DRM.
When a game requires you to log in to play it, but allows you to put Steam into offline mode so you only need to log in once, that's slightly more permissive DRM.
The Steam client enforces DRM. It's not a stretch to say that Steam is the DRM component of these rights-managed games.
Put yourself in the shoes of a buyer (or player). You might think it's lazy or wrong, but people err on the side of caution and just treat Steam as DRM.

I would also question the value of Steam integration. In Radiant's case, it's created compatibility problems and an achievements system is fairly trivial to implement in AGS.

Coding Fuel is an energy lifestyle drink for the young software development go-getter.

Starting with a base of caffeine, we add only the finest grade codeine, taurine, guarana, B-vitamins, E102, pharmaceutical run-off and cocaine. The result is the perfect formula for late night programming and stubborn mildew.

I think this might work best on a red bottle because red means danger.

I like Cassie's mention of having an achievements page inside your game. I'm doing something very similar for the game I'm working on. In my game, it's pretty much replaced the traditional point scoring mechanism.

You could still offer Steam achievements to Steam users -- just trigger the Steam achievement when the in-game achievement is unlocked.

Great colouring ball! Voting was tough.

There's also the matter of the while statement. I think you mean to use an if statement there. The while statement will loop over the statements inside it, in this case indefinitely looping over dkittywantsfood.Start(); if the condition is met.

If you wanted to, you could also rearrange the if statements to simplify things a bit:

Spoiler

Code: ags

function ckitty_Talk()
{
	if(object[4].Visible)
	{
		if(object[3].Visible)
		{
			Display("He looks busy.");
		}
		else
		{
			dkittywantsfood.Start();
		}
	}
	else
	{
		if(object[3].Visible)
		{
			dkittywantswater.Start();
		}
		else
		{
			dkitty.Start();
		}
	}
}

The code there should match your intention. It just doesn't necessarily do as many checks.

Sounds like an interesting action game
Perhaps not the most appropriate forum for posting about this
Admittedly, there aren't many good outlets for promotion nowadays
Maybe it'll seem more appropriate when we hear more about the story

Well, now that is hard topic for me as non bible reader. I mean, i raised with quran and only read a little of the bible.

But this is not a religious theme, it seems. It is interesting. If you did this with quran probably it cant be that open topic. I mean you cant show mohamed and also you cant make anything funny, if you do probably I wouldnt be able to access this website anymore(they will block it in turkey(even wikipedia is blocked in turkey)).

I mean, i wish there is nobody sensitive about bible so people can do what they want.

This came up on IRC as well. For a Quran reader, I suggested referencing characters/stories that appear in both. e.g. Suleiman, Ishmael, Dawud, Abraham & Sarai, Lot. Also, I'm not the topic creator, but how much you incorporate the Bible seems really open-ended to me.

Regarding sensitivity around the Bible, I don't think it's anywhere near that of the Quran. There is open satire of the Bible in popular culture (Life of Brian). You should be fine with anything that can be taken lightheartedly.

Anyway, I think this topic is really interesting and I look forward to seeing what people do with it!

Might I be bold and suggest doing the mags every 2 months rather then every month?

MAGS is every month, dude. Look out for August's topic, tomorrow :-)

I was just talking about Tycho's idea of MAGS being 1 in 2 month. Sorry for my English

I don't want to pick on Tycho, but I agree about the MAGS every month thing. It would be a step backwards to skip a month for voting. That's how MAGS used to work, until Dualnames (I think) fixed it.

Tycho, nobody is suggesting you need to participate in every MAGS competition. You can pick and choose themes that appeal to you. However...

There is the little-known, unofficial MAGS iron man challenge: compete in 12 MAGS competitions over 12 months. I don't think anyone's done it, but it looked for a while like Slasher would.

This looks very nice!

You've picked a very reasonable release date too.

I wish you the best of luck with getting it done.
