Hi InvaderX.

The link seems to be broken.

Thanks.

Awesome job! It held my interest until the end (my demise) and that is hard to do. One suggestion, please let us know to use the X key to pick an option from the start menu. I tried every button until I found it. Thanks.

Hehe glad you all like them :) I started doing them with a friend a few years back, he's got some great ones as well I hope to upload soon.

Has anyone written similar letters to Scirra?

You should send one to yourself and see what you have to say in return.

Crank-calling with class. Superb material. Thanks for the much needed laughs.

Hello.

A new update is available.

*** *** *** *** ***

The Grae Mezzanine

*** *** *** *** ***

The menu is now now fully-functional.

The "Read a little story" button works.

Woo-Hoo!!!

I tweaked the tutorial and the first non-tutorial levels.

I added another critter.

I was going to ask how many levels I should create until uploading TGM onto the Scirra arcade, but I see that the width is a couple hundred pixels too wide.

Oh well.

Have fun.

Sweet! A bit difficult to play due to the fact that I am left-handed, but all in all, a fantastic job. The bandits kicked the snot out of me. I guess I should have taken the ladder. Next time.

Update: August 1st, 2012

Overhaul of all block art (black outline was cut in half).

New sprites added.

More sounds.

Tested, found some "OH NO, I'M STUCK" locations and fixed them.

Please enjoy your stay.

Grae Mezzanine Update

The tutorial level and the first "real" level are up.

There is an inventory as well as title and menu screens.

I also included a "You Died" mini menu.

I fixed a few bugs and / or glitches.

I messed with the block art.

I added checkpoints.

All in all, it is starting to look like a game.

I am now ready to add some more of the 'zine to it.

I have a lot of ideas.

I need to take the advice that was handed to me and focus.

F.O.C.U.S.

Focus.

Anyway, here is the link...

Thanks and have fun today.

Thanks TELLES0808.

Up until now, the only "working" level was the tutorial.

I just finished level 2 (first non-tutorial).

The Grae Mezzanine

I need to modify the tutorial once I know exactly how I want my inventory to work.

At the moment, when you find a not-so-typical object, it knows to hop into your pocket.

The gem with block-moving powers.

A ball that will allow you to jump a tad bit higher than normal for a few minutes.

Also, the pink, blobby dude will jump on your head first, but if you left-click on him, he will jump into your pocket as well.

To open or close the inventory, please left-click on the i Block at the top-right corner.

Another helpful hint, when your player touches a flying light, your pitch-fork will glow for a few seconds.

Please enjoy.

***   The Grae Mezzanine Update - July 20th, 2012 ***

Hello.

Here is the latest T.G.M. update.

I added an inventory, some new artwork as well as a new song (at least the start to a new song).

The Grae Mezzanine

Level 2 is a work in progress, so you will probably fall off.

Have fun today.

Here is a ?Hey, I just updated The Grae Mezzanine? post.

*****************

The Grae Mezzanine

*****************

I added a Title Page and a Menu Page.

The menu is limited right now.

The only button that works is the one titled ?Play Tutorial?.

I was asked to explain how the controls work, so thanks for your feed-back and please enjoy.

Thanks zsangerous.

No, you are not supposed to see double.

I noticed that as well.

I have no idea where he is coming from.

You know what they say, everyone has a doppelganger and Pitch met his.

I was searching through the event sheets as well as the layouts to see if he was hiding out.

I cannot find the darn little dude.

Crazy stuff.

I am diligently working on a smaller layout tutorial level.

I made the mistake of putting all events on one sheet, so I need to move the level specific events to their own event sheets and include the "all layouts" ES.

I am also trying to figure out how I can utilize an array for the layout transition doors.

I know, my mind is going everywhere, but nowhere and my brain is trying to real him in.

My mind and brain constantly have that fight.

Like I stated before, I am only happy when the two are functioning at the same time.

Thanks again.
