I can't quite follow you - if it is tuned in C, according to the chart you have to cover all holes for a C (or leave all open).
When you lift the upper right finger, this should be a D (re). Next is E (mi) etc.

Edit: I do feel a sudden urge to buy an ocarina now

A new month!

I'm not too happy about demos being chosen, but we also had them before, I guess. Maybe pick "Donald Dowell" from the same author instead?

Anyway, if someone writes a nice teaser, I'll set the new pick.

> Ask the man to wait a moment outside the room. Order the Jester to bring Rorik without him beeing seen by the other guys and ask him (Rorik) about the accusations.

> "Rorik is currently my guest. Those are some serious accusations you make. Do you have any proof?"

For characters I strongly recommend Tom Bancroft's Creating Characters with Personality

If the levels are independent of each other, it might be indeed a good idea to save only once as soon as the level starts, like many platformers and acarde games do. But then don't allow to save during the level.
I guess it all depends on game design and how the levels are built and connected.

Personally, I hate it when a game reduces the saveslots to make it more difficult. The only valid reason for only one save slot is to make the interface simpler (i.e. autosave).

[Magic Object]

"When and how to use the gift is up to you, and the only instruction I can give to you now is to only use it when the end is near. There is no right or wrong time, however, but each ruler who has used the gift has wished they hadn't, and each ruler who didn't use the gift has wished they had. Heed these words: when the time is dire and your kingdom is truly in peril, then you may call upon this gift, and in doing so you will evoke powers that can both help and harm."

> Use Magic Object to fix WHAM's harddisk and save the kingdom.

Hi Tabby, enjoy the rest of your vacation

When picking a complex password and putting it in a password store, you can also use GUIDs.

Also nice explanation:

Much better! One more thing are ãÆ'³ and ソ. They are almost the same here. In many fonts, the first stroke of n is just horizontal and of so it's vertical (kind of simulating the handwritten stroke order). Another trick is to make the two strokes of n left aligned and so top aligned.

Nice! ku and ke as well as te and ra are similar, but I guess I would have to see it in written text. The black box on the gray somehow changes the impression, seeing the characters on just black background will make it easier to read, I think.

Yes indeed. I set a new pick of the month now because there were no suggestions in this thread. If you want to see a certain game here as pick of May, please post here and write a nice teaser.

Happy birthday, Ghost!

>Once again thank Broomhilde for her offer and tell her that we will indeed think her proposal over. Afterwards summon Jester and Lancelot and ask them what they know about the Yesteryear family.

Small but annoying issue: When using the searchbox to find a game, in the result list when I click the screenshot it directly opens the jpg. I can't use the back button of the brower to get back because my browser shows "Document Expired This document is no longer available."
The same happens from search results of "Game by category".

I'd expect that the game page is opened instead like on PotM or showcase page.

I think only the main author gets the sparkling icon. There was a discussion about it with this outcome.

Well, then it might be best to collect all issues in the bugtracker and apply when the new manual is decided on?

How can I edit the manual?
