I want to know how to best release the game, may be for free

Also, if anyone wants to get involved...graphics, suggestions, music, let me know, graphics are (currently) 48*64 pixels, ...anyone helping will be credited

Can't promise you any money, as release may be free

The reason I have posted this, is..I can't edit the title of my last post, and as a "new" poster, I have limits on posting and editing :-|

ok, ty all, see attachment, sorry to attach this crap twice, but it's you who made me you and your damned rules...

Hi there....after four minutes playing I've got this error...

Quote: "Runtime Error 502 - Image does not exist at line 260"


It looks nice but I couldn`t guess why I could eat some enemyes and some not... I would have some more graphics for player to run up or down and some midi sounds will help a lot. I like the way you make scroll, but some times I don't know where I go to... I guess you will add more content before releasing your first beta...it is the best way to present our games. Good luck

Cheers.

I tried your game it loads, but the HUD and background brick (I think) is the only thing I could see.
See attached...

Specs:


I'll Retry the download and see if something was dropped in the download process and edit the post accordantly based on the outcome.

Edit: Still does not work after re-downloading and changing resolutions. I could never understand how the same program behaves so differently from computer to computer.

same as cyril, here. runs (fps 59/60) but can't move/do anything (only key that seems to do anything is ESC).

tested:
> xp compatability (SP2) mode.
> run as admin.
> visual themes disabled.

= nothing.

specs in sig...

@Hannibal
Do you want to release... this? It's doesn't work... or it's simply unfinished.

@Hannibal

How is one image loaded with no controls a game? I understand you are asking for people hard work for your project,alot of people do this,but at least have more then just a picture loaded for your program.

my signature keeps being erased by a mod So this is my new signature.

@ Daniel

I simply believe he has not posted enough between the time he joined and now; note he said "new poster" and not "new member".

@ Hannibal

Did you compile the game with either DBP 7.62 or U7.7(latest beta).
I believe some features of the old compilers don't work correctly with new PCs. For example I could run SS2 (Stick Suicide 2) on Windows Vista and XP but not under Windows 7 even with the same hardware.

Says version 1.077

I have the idea that the pasted images may be displayed using a priority other than that which I pasted them.

If that is the case, then the game is hidden beneath the "backdrop" :-|

Not sure, but seems likely, will try to compile a new test version later

Peace

heh, maybe he was offensive somewhere?

@Hannibal
Please make a creenshot for us for comparsion. I've noticed many gameplay calculations, but it seems that they're not connected with main loop. Is game playable?

Your code is pure black magic. I don't know how YOUR PC run it...
Here is your piece of monkey cheese:

You should taste that:
