AnyNowhere — daily chat log — back (to logs index)
04:36, Jam asks for help in the novashell forum... Surely the best people to ask for help are the people who created the program and use it every day!
04:37, Jam will think of ideas for Paddle Wars levels while he's waiting for a response...
05:57, Speeder started a blog :)
05:57, Speeder> blog.agfgames.com
05:57, Speeder> \o/
07:07, Cryoburner> |o|
07:09, Cryoburner> How about a level where you're a ball, knocking a paddle around the screen!?
07:10, Cryoburner whispers: And another, where you're a wall, just sitting there, while a paddle hits a ball.
07:12, Cryoburner whispers: And spiders building webs! Monkeys running up and down the walls! Little soldiers eating cupcakes!
07:28, Speeder> Cryo, you are... amusing :P
07:28, Speeder> I will feature a level that... Noo, I will not tell you people :P It is dead secret (and really cool, like the level 5, that you people are STILL FORBIDDEN TO TALK ABOUT :P)
07:29, Speeder will sleep now, it is 4:30 where he lives.
07:30, Speeder was reading some other gamedev people blogs, really interesting stuff, like how "challenge" and "punishment" are actually detached, and you can have a REALLY HARD game without punishment at all, like Braid. And try to do the same mechanics and arrive at a dead easy and boring game, like Prince of Persia from 2008.
15:26, Mary Lou> Boundary walls include privacy walls, boundary-marking walls on property, and town walls.
15:38, Jam> Mary, what is Paddle Wars: Hit The Wall?
15:38, Mary Lou> I don't know.
15:39, Jam> You will someday...
18:16, Cryoburner> Mary, what is the Minaret of Jam?
18:16, Mary Lou> The Minaret of Jam is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in western Afghanistan.
20:56, Jam> Mary, what is UNESCO?
20:56, Mary Lou> UNESCO has 193 Member States and seven Associate Members.
20:58, Jam whispers: Mary, who is Lexy?
20:58, Mary Lou> Who knows?
20:58, Jam whispers: I wonder if word filters affect her responses...
21:25, Jam whispers: Answer: She'll recognize her name if it is the word being filtered and if it is the replacement word!
21:26, Jam> ML is smart!
23:52, Cryoburner> Mary Lou is tart!
