Special Delivery!

So testing is always fun. Especially when you've finished unspoiler-i-fying Open Beta 3 and do a little test run of the first couple maps and wait- frickin' I forgot to tag the doorframe 'lower unpegged' again!

Still, I feel it's playable as a beta.

Behold! Fifteen days after my self-imposed deadline, I give you... Open Beta 3!

Link and instructions after the break!

Two Weeks Past Deadline

Currently I've finished most of the sprites, redid half the Twilicane sprites, fixed the titlecards, added a few more things to the changeling pack wad (for using just the changeling and weapon sprites with any IWAD), and I've converted rarimusic.wad to a .pk3 to try and save space for the download. Especially since I'm going to nearly triple it in size.

Turns out choosing music is harder than I thought. So it might all change by the time the game is actually released. Just remember if you have a favorite, you can type in idmus and then the level name and it'll play that song.

But now I have an estimated release date of... tomorrow.

Stand by.

Did I Say That?

So a girl in my ward called me asking if I could come pick her and her friend up because her car got a hole in the oil pan. Sure, I said.

Turns out she's an hour and a half away.

Oops.

I mean... I'm always willing to help. But release might be delayed until tomorrow (I'm still finishing one interpic and then I'm going to try and delete all spoilers from the open beta 3 wad, and then I have to fix rarimusic.wad. It hasn't been updated since April... of last year).

On the bright side... I made some changes to the final E3 map and I don't know if it's easy to beat or not, mainly because of the monsters I didn't put in. But I'll let you decide.
Like, seriously. I really enjoy the feedback on the maps. Too easy, too hard, too silly?

Day Nine Past Deadline

So I've been doing a little finishing and a little clean-up in the .wad and I discovered that I hadn't finished naming the maps. So I had to open each one and think about it. Some of them I hadn't opened since I put it on the F drive instead of my G drive... many, many months ago.

Oops.

On an unrelated side note, I don't think I have added any music recently (ie, in the past year or so), so I might just recycle songs.

But fear not! I promised Open Beta 3, and I shall deliver! Soon. Maybe by Saturday.

Fourth of July Update

We'll start with that, I think.

It's funny. I've always wanted to make a comic; but I have such trouble finishing even the in-between episode pictures. Idk.

Either way, I'm working tonight until after midnight, so I won't be able to work more on this until later. So go out and enjoy fireworks if you're in the USA and if you're not (or even if you are), you can enjoy this oddly hypnotic piece of art.

Live!Update

Ok, I've finished the sprites for the last monster I'm putting in. Even the death animations which I totally didn't forget the first time. I think they're ok but they look the tiniest bit off to me; but I'm going to blame that on the color palette than anything else. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I did a little playtesting and a couple maps might need a couple tweaks for balance. Then I'll have to modify my current wad so I don't give away any spoilers or bad coding or anything like that.

And then!

Then Open Beta 3 shall be released!

Also I should probably change that titlecard while I'm at it because it still says open beta 2.

Gah.

I'm cheating on the sprites. Don't tell anypony.
