Heh, I hope I'm not rusty for the Secret Santa.
It has been a while since I pixelled something for fun.

Agreed. I haven't pixeled in a while either, for money or for fun...time to dust off that old ms paint and promotion and get to work.
my back hurts...

Gentlemen, I bestow the very last build of Twinsen:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/hegswx

We have recently come to the decision to start a new original game rather than restricting ourselves with a fangame.
So please, check out the current build, I'm still very much interested in feedback because things will still be similar in our new game.
Just don't bother mentioning flaws or glitches, we already have them all (no, I'm not being cocky here, we seriously have them all  :P) well documented and will not be working on them anymore.

So yeah, so long twinsen :(
Not running for me... well it does. It just sits there with the little Twinsen logo and I can hear my computer going into overdrive but it does nothing.
Bummer, mac, vista by any chance?

Secret Santaaaaaaa  :0'
Can't wait to get started, and I can't wait till I see what I get either.

Seriously, I feel like my skill has improved a ton since my first ever pixelation secret santa, hell, I remember pixeling a very crappy teddy bear for godslayer or someone about 3 years ago. This year, I'm really going to go all out.

On another note, is anyone playing Fallout 3? I have it and have played for a bit, but i'm restricting myself because of my wedding in 2 weeks but I'm dying to play so bad.

Yeah...It's fun to be able to give people a better gift each year!

Also, I hope another pixelator comes somewhere soon. I got my butt kicked in the first round last time. Which is not odd because I was up against Snake.(I blame the random poulle generator!)
I wanna kick some butt next time!

Yeah! I beat it the day after it came out- still playing it though, catching up on all the stuff I missed. I really do love it, so much interesting stuff to find just by walking around. I actually just found Dogmeat, too. :hehe:

weird, sometimes with GM games the first loadup can take a while, you could try again and leave it sitting for a couple minutes?
I've never had any problems reported with XP '~'

That seems to have worked... wow, what a load-up time. And it eats a hell of a lot of CPU.

So I made it to the ledge from the house with the two barrels... but I can't make it to the next ledge. Not much documentation on how to do these platforming tasks(made the ledge off of the house by luck, after many attempts).

Two beefs though: no fullscreen and no controller support?

full screen is f4, and you can double jump by holding upwards and using the sword, I kinda go over it in the readme :P
And yah, GM games typically hog resources, can't really do anything about it without switching to c++/etc

Aha, didn't even notice that readme.

Oh, and the reach of the sword is frustratingly short :( Also, it seems to take a while before hit detection actually sets in(at least while holding forward+slash). I seem to get hurt a lot while waiting for my sword to swing, especially since it likes to throw me into monsters(forward+slash).
