Not bad for 2 days at all! Good work! If English is an issue, why not just omit it? Find visual ways to explain things, perhaps.

Actually, it used to work great. Every time I've done it recently, though, it just puts in a blank image for the collision for all of them (thus no collision).

Blight will be release in Alpha form on August 3rd for early adopters at a discount! Early supporters will get the rest of the game free as it is completed. As part of the release in two weeks, here's a brand new trailer showing the current state of Blight! Check it out, leave some comments, and share with others!

Free hosts may be an issue, but some of us have our own servers with plenty of bandwidth. There would be extra work for verification, but hosting off-site to legitimate servers is something that could benefit both parties. More exposure for those games, larger experiences for the arcade, and not robbing scirra of the tons of bandwidth it needs.

As far as I'm aware, it loads the entire layout (there's even an event to do that). The only way to help is to disable events for objects when they're off-screen, but this won't eliminate the load. This is a good thing, though, because you don't want loading pauses every few steps. Also, be sure to have multiple instances of objects instead of a thousand individual. It would just be poor design and inefficient to do otherwise.

Yeah, the pause is how I figured it out, but something in-level could help.

I do have to say... the trailer shows all kinds of neat things to do that I'm fully unaware of how to do. Arrows move, Z jumps. C talks. I've only managed to kill one snail with the box and then can't do anything else. I can't jump high enough to continue, and I can't hurt the snails to appease the mushroom. Hmm.

Hah! Nevermind. I didn't realize you could keep walking past that guy. Maybe a sign with an arrow pointing that way in 1.5? Since the level seems to imply going up.

Aww that's a shame. Well, it looks like you may be able to get more exposure this way at least! I would've dropped a dollar or two for ya :-P

Maybe not important to others, but I just made my first sale (preorder)! It isn't a lot, but it's a first step for me and the first money I've made for video games besides music and audio production.

You could try something a little different like a bonfire with an angry face that shoots embers, perhaps? Either, it's cool as heck what you're doing with this game.

I'll preorder it in a few days! Can't wait till full version.

Awesome! Thanks a ton.

Good nws! I've reached a good, releasable Alpha stage and Blight is on Desura! The Alpha release starts August 3rd, but you can preorder it now! It's about 60% off during the Alpha release stage, so don't miss out!
