Haha nice videos, really shows what the game is like to play.

Very cool classic looking puzzle platformer.

Looking forward to a demo.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see more

I have noticed that, due to the way Windows assigns the ini settings for the icon cache, you may have to apply a custom icon the "normal" way first... then update the icon using PermaCon to make it a permanent icon.

In other words, if you ahve trouble getting the right icons to show up... right click the folder and set the icon to anything, doesn't matter what... THEN use PermaCon to set your custom permanent icon.

PermaCon is a little tool I made since I hate standard folder icons in Windows.

It will change the folder icon of any non-system protected folder, and the results will be Permanent. If the folder is moved, copied to another device, etc, the icon will remain applied the folder at all times.

I decided to make this since I just reinstalled Windows on my PC, and all my other drives that had fancy icons reverted back to the default ones. This time they will be made permanent for the next reinstall

Enjoy.

*KNOWN BUGS*

If you select an icon and try to apply it to the folder that the icon is already in, it will delete the icon... so don't do that. Make sure you are applying the icon to a different folder than where the icon itself is located. I might fix this, but probably can't be bothered so just watch out for it.

*KNOWN COMPATIBILITY ISSUES*

It appears that in Windows 7, and possibly Vista, the desktop.ini file method (used by PermaCon) used to inject the folder icon is ineffective until a system based desktop.ini has been assigned by Windows Explorer. Essentially you have to assign a folder icon using explorer (non permanent icon using file paths) THEN you can use PermaCon to assign a permanent icon.

This apparently is not an issue in Windows XP, and not real sure about Vista. I will try to find a way to fix this but from what I have been reading it seems to be a change in Windows 7 mainly causing this issue.

EXAMPLE SCREENSHOT:

Here is what I did to my folders with this little app. Icons not included. If you want an icon pack, let me know I can hook something up.

NOTE:

Extract folder and run EXE. Do not run from inside RAR file otherwise it won't work properly.

I usually stick to 1024x768 since most people run at least that resolution or higher on their PC.

Anyone who doesn't, doesn't deserve to play games anyway.

Yay someone finally built a system to rival/beat mine

Gratz man, let me know how the 5870 goes... I've been thinking more and more about grabbing one.

I wanted to vote, but it gives me an error :/

Also, it's missing the "I touch myself at night thinking about Davo" option.

Maybe I'm just too old school to hate cutscenes. When I was a kid there were no cutscenes in any game. The first game I played that had them was Ninja Gaiden on NES, and that was pretty much revolutionary. The opening scene set a nice mood for the story, and the ones in between levels were like a reward for advancing in the game.

I still see cutscenes that way. They do nothing but enhance the experience for me, and reward me for playing well enough to move on. I don't see them as a hindrance at all.

But I guess I can see how they could be taken for granted in this age of cutscene-centric games. And things like Final Fantasy with their long-ass summon scenes, or Metal Gear with 90 minute scenes don't really help matters.

This. All of it.

I never understand people who just *skip skip skip skip* all the way through, then wonder why they think "THIS GAME WAS CRAP!" It's like putting a DVD in... pressing play.... then skipping all the way to the credits. Damn that movie was full of ***** No **** idiot.

Watch cutscenes. They make you into a man.

Welcome to the fold.

By the way, I managed to get a hold of that online.csx plugin that Rich was working on thanks to Sagal if you still want it. PM me and I'll give you the link
