I'm absolutely LOVING this game in every way. However the game keeps crashing so I can't continue.

Here's where I'm at:

Spoiler

I went to floor 3, pushed the prompt to continue the chair movement, came back down and Mr. 217 is jittery. I used the needle to sedate him and then the game crashes

[close]

But I do want to report the crash

Does the game give an error message on crash?
If so, can you send me a screenshot of it (or just the full text of the error message) via PM.

EDIT: I looked into the code and found at least one bug in it, which has now been fixed and an updated game released.

I need voting deadlines.  I can't work without deadlines.

Let's say deadline is Friday at midnight. I might not have access to a computer at that time, so if I am not here to declare a winner on saturday, someone take over for me.

Looks fascinating!  Grats on the release.

Cheers! I'm still a bit amazed that I got the game up and running in such a short time. I'm just sitting here, fingers crossed, hoping that it works right!

I already have plans to update the game into a deluxe version over the next couple of months with some new animations and visuals, full voice acting, maybe some new music and a translation or two if I can get people interested. But that's for after my vacation.

16th Aug 2016 GNRBLEX has been declared winner of MAGS for July 2016! Thank you to all who played the game!

Can YOU stop the extinction of Gnrblexian mind-maggot?

Probably not, at least not right away, but you sure are welcome to try!

In this game you play as Terry, as he tries to save the Gnrblexian mind maggot (a pink, fleshy horror that rends the minds of men asunder) from extinction by helping it breed.
Unfortunately the mind-maggot can only breed when a suitable human host is nearby.
Don't worry, though, your partner, Mary, is here to help you. And by 'help' I mean she is sitting on a spaceship three days travel time away from you for her safety.

Ooooh, I love everything about this! The story, the setting, the look, EVERYTHING!
Really looking forward to seeing this in action.

Shameless doublepost to declare that my game's final beta build has been sent out to testers today.
If no major issues are found I will do some further testing tomorrow and the game will be RELEASED on wednesday (13 days after project start)!

Hey, no worries WHAMO my good man.  I've had a whole 36 hours of uninterrupted writing time, and thus can submit before the actual deadline for the first time in years.

Excellent work, old chap! Tonight is the deadline, so if anyone else is still laboring on an entry, either get crackin' or pipe up and beg for mercy!

Ah, Sinitrena has returned in the hopes of claiming the title of storymaster once more, I see!
And Baron, the deadline is close. So very close.

Goddamnit, I have OCD and had to do Mandle's will hunting game...

I think he specifically requested that you [ hide ] the responses so as not to spoil them for others.

Report in, writerts!
Any awesome entries being created in the dark vaults of people's minds?

Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is simple.

So simple, in fact, that I can sum it up in three sentences:

I made a game for the ongoing MAGS, it will be beta-ready by the 15th of July.

I need someone to test it until either the game breaks, or the person doing the testing breaks.

I have to finish the project by the 20th of July, so time is of the essence.

Spent 11 hours coding today and my game is now feature complete. Only a few minor art assets need to be adde in, along with a bunch of non-critical description text for hotspots and items etc.
In THEORY the game should now be beatable, but I haven't yet done a start-to-end run of it, so I won't know until tomorrow.

Now sleep!

Well, I haven't ever been banned from the AGS forums as far as I recall, so let's consider this.
One one hand being banned might just get me to stop refreshing the forum constantly so that would save energy and time and possibly the whole planet, but then what will I do with my life? Stare at a wall? Hmm, on second thought I might not want to ge baaAAAAAIIEEEEE~!!!

[Done! â€"Snarky]

From what I see in the engine code, there could be 50 lines (or 49 line wraps) only. This is a restriction of text drawing function.

Drat. Looks like I'm dividing the text into multiple labels then.

Hello!

I am trying to create a long block of text the player can scroll via an in-game UI.

Since there is a limit to how many characters I can add in a single line, I did a function as follows to initialize the label:

Code: ags

function InitConsole() {
  String foo = "";
  foo = String.Format("Block of text[Block of text[Block of text[");
  labConsole.Text = labConsole.Text.Append(foo);
  foo = String.Format("Block of text[Block of text[Block of text[");
  labConsole.Text = labConsole.Text.Append(foo);
  foo = String.Format("Block of text[Block of text[Block of text[");
  labConsole.Text = labConsole.Text.Append(foo);
// Repeat a bunch of times until all the text is in the label

As far as I can tell the function itself is working, but after a certain number of line breaks ( [ ) the text just ends with AGS adding three dots '...' at the end.
Can someone confirm if this really is the case and I can only have 31 or 32 (as seems to be the case as far as I can tell) line breaks per String?

Posting more stuff, mostly to motivate myself. Game still needs 2 more backgrounds and some UI graphics, but other than that the thing is visually mostly complete.
Now to struggle with feature creep so I can actually finish this thing in time!

Also: if you are interested in playtesting this when it is closer to completion then drop me a PM.

Goddammit, Dancing Cyborg, there goes my Completely Original Idea!



I've got my main gameplay mechanics in place, but the game still needs some more backgrounds and is missing puzzles.
Will try and double-time it to finish by the 20th.

Project is slowly shaping up. Here, meet the Gnrblexian mind-maggot!


Poor fella is nearly extinct. Only two specimens left in the UNIVERSE! We'd better help him soon!
