Slasher:

Spoiler

Ohhhh, whoops, I thought that was for the dialogue for some reason. Sorry!

Trying Ice Station Zero, really cool (ha!) so far, but stuck on a bug:

Spoiler

I can't put the flamethrower down after picking it up from Inventory, and it stops me interacting with anything else.  I tried left and right clicking.  Clicking back in the Inventory makes the cursor become an arrow again, but all interactions still respond as if I had the flamethrower selected.

Loving the Cabin, *really* well done!

Hint question:

Spoiler

Trying to split the log, just not sure where the "heavy enough" thing is to hit the wedge with.  I think I've picked up everything I can, tried the metal bar and broom handle.

And minor glitch found:

Spoiler

Heading onto the path, turn right, go forward, go forward...and then if you look left or right and turn front again, it jumps you back to the first "go forward" spot.  If you don't turn, you can proceed straight to the wolf just fine.

Can't wait to play the rest!

Hope you feel better Mandle! I for one am about to sleep for a week straight.

(MAGS Notes: I ran out of time and energy to do sound effects - only finished the music.  There are a few minor issues - things that don't work as well as I'd like, puzzles that aren't 100% smooth.  But it should be playable, and I hope you enjoy it.  )

You are Roger Daniels, podcast host and friendly post-apocalyptic survivor. Your best friend is Beth - a psychotic, bomb-slinging toy bear brought to life.

Together you adventure through New Atrocity, a ruined zone of mutants and robots all out to mug, screw and kill you and anybody else in their way, ruled over by a mad despot called the Tyrant.

This time, the Tyrant has gone too far - jealous that a little girl is having a birthday party, he's unleashed a Weather Machine to storm out anyone who rains on his parade.

It's up to you and Beth to destroy the Machine and let the sun shine again.

I've been tinkering with the NMFA universe all year, as a coping mechanism for the pandemic. I just finished a template, and I think I'll try to set all future MAGS in it. It's a fun place to play.

(And in the spirit of apocalyptic buccaneering, all art is stolen and heavily modified.)

Enjoy, because I'm alive, and you're alive!

I'm taking a break, exhausted myself in November. But I can't wait to play what you all come up with!

WHEW.  Playable version DONE.

I'm going to spend tomorrow plugging in sound and music, then release.  See you shortly!

Super glad of the extension, after another 9 hours of coding today, still only finished the penultimate room. Not fun building an entire puzzle and then discovering hotspots and objects don't work how you thought, so you have to rebuild the entire thing as a GUI.

Dragging my braindead body to bed, back at it tomorrow! Cheers all!

Ahhh omg I forgot to do that outside the thread comments last month!  Thanks for reminding me!

And awake again on four hours of sleep, belly full of Dunkin and back at it!

I would LOVE one, if that's okay.  I coded from 5AM all the way around to 2AM - down to the last couple rooms and I just can't stay awake.  I will absolutely have this finished with a 2 day extension.

Been coding and assembling 15 hours straight today, about five rooms to go, staying up as late as I need to because I have to work tomorrow until nearly the deadline. 

Might be no music or sound but I am GOING to finish this.

Wheeewww brain fried from coding all day. I'm still on track but it's up in the air whether I'll hit deadline or not. Going to spend the whole weekend in a frenzy... basically have all the parts of a half-finished car in front of me, just have to assemble the remaining half and solve bugs along the way.

Good luck everybody!

Finishing the last room BG art today, then plugging in code like crazy!  I've been writing in a code editor app at work, then copy pasting at home.

Also worked out yesterday how to plug shortcuts for all my game-making folders and programs into Startup, so on boot everything I need just pops up.  This is the closest I will ever get to being Tony Stark. 

Mandle: Love the graphic style, takes me back to vintage gaming. Anyone remember ZZT?

With 12 days left, this is gonna be a scraper. I'm coding for hours every day at work, slapping together art at home, about 9 rooms left to go, but may have shot too big. I'll keep at it and fingers crossed!

Either way December's going to be a break for me...want to produce the voice packs for Lord of Light and NMFA: Stormpuncher. Maybe finish the NMFA game I tried to make back in April.

Anyways, good luck all!

Btw, if anyone would like a simple full screen rain effect for their game - I've got After Effects, and worked out how to use its Rainfall effect to export a 24 frame PNG sequence with transparent alpha channels.

So if anyone wants, I can make one custom sized to your game.  I can also set it to blow at different slanted angles.

Then you assign the frames to a view, create a full-screen, non-clickable object in any room you want rain, set the object's view and start it NoBlock animating.

PM me if you're interested!

(One frame shown below.)

Whew, whole intro, first five rooms playable, gaining speed!  Still gonna be tight but I'm working hard, updated my screenshots above!

Oh wow, thanks so much!  Everybody did a great job this month!  See y'all in the November competition! 

It's gonna be tight, but I think I can slap this all together in time.

It's called Not My First Apocalypse: Stormpuncher.

Ahh, I played with it and realized my mistake.

I was trying to use angled corners - like a 36x36 pixel / instead of like the little square default corner.  It kept displaying from the corner closest to the text box, instead of offsetting to overlay the text box itself.

I didn't think about how the engine wouldn't know how to magically line up unusual graphics for me.

Sorry, I get it now!  Thanks!
