Completed Game Announcements / Chalkman
Wed 20/02/2013 13:05:12
G'day folks.

Chalkman was released earlier this year without a smidgen of promotion.

I've now made the long anticipated promo.

Just pretend we're back in 2012..

SCREENSHOTS



The game is described on the download page if you dare to read it.

Chalkman is somewhat similar to Shitty Quest, but more long-winded and hard-core puzzle focused. The project stated out as a shitty sort of experimental game, but then evolved into something more. The game's antagonist is someone trying to erase the crudely drawn 'chalk world' and replace with something.. well, less shitty.

Note that the game is actually a bit longer than suggested by its current 'medium length' categorisation. If you can complete this game in 1 hour, you'll win a free Chalkman coffee mug.



Mug also comes in blue.

Howdy y'all!
Just wanted to share some knowledge of a bug I recently fixed in my game.
I'm not sure how common the problem is, but if you come across it hopefully you'll find this post useful.

Bug - get this error: "game has been modified since save. unable to restore game. (GM01)" when trying to restore a saved game from certain rooms.

Solution - fixed problem by doing the following steps prior to creating the save-game file:

After user clicks on the save game button..

1. use ChangeRoom function (i.e. change room to current room, so character stays in that room)
2. set a trigger variable (e.g. bool save_game = 1) to continue code in global repeatedly_execute()
3. in global repeatedly_execute(), continue with SaveGameSlot function

Now the save-game file will restore without producing the error.

Not sure why this works, but it does!
