A very basic 2.5D clone of Breakout which asks the question - what if those blocks were alive?

Post by **dng** » Sun Sep 03, 2023 6:27 pm

excellent. also i like the shooting lovehearts to deflect the ball mechanic. i don't think i'ver ever seen that in a breakout clone before but its good

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Sep 03, 2023 7:41 pm

That's both good and most impressif! *thumbs up*

Also - it plays really slowly and CPU intensively in the Opera browser, but perfectly in Firefox and Edge. So then I tried my own itch.io files in Firefox / Edge, and they performed better, too, which leads me to the conclusion that Opera is rubbs at handling these sort of things!

The funny thing is that Opera is meant to be a "gamer browser" now, that can play HTML5 stuff brillantly - except it doesn't at all and has all sorts of issues. I looked some specs for it up and the app seems to be insanely inefficent

The Opera browser people also purchased Game Maker Studio a while back. People were / are not happy

I have a subscription to Photoshop now, which enables me to try out their beta version of what will apparently be their next version of Photoshop, and it has AI art built into it and I have spent ages just making stupid shite

They amused me, and put me in mind, just a tad, of Spike Milligan!

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Thu Sep 28, 2023 11:12 am

Thanks! I remain a fan of things like Spike's "Q" series (despite the dodgy bits...)

Your Own Personal Cat Cafe

Virtual text based cat cafe simulation! Linking to the version on my website even though it's on itch.io as well, because there's a non-game-breaking yet very annoying visual bug that only happens on itch.

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 04, 2023 6:08 pm

The input bug thing on itch,io seems fine in safari and chrome

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 04, 2023 6:08 pm

also hooray for cats

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 04, 2023 6:08 pm

Thank you, everyone!

Sorry that I've not posted much round here as of late... but Version 3 of my cat cafe is now on itch.io. It now features two new cats, random cat movement (code may be buggy), and additional "flavour text".

Post by **dng** » Thu Oct 26, 2023 11:52 am

hooray

Post by **dng** » Thu Oct 26, 2023 11:53 am

lovely cats

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Oct 26, 2023 12:00 pm

I'm still digging this! Hurrah!

A new thing on itch.io:

Streaming Christmas Movie Simulator

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:47 pm

hooray

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:47 pm

this didn't work in safari (some compilation error while loading) but does work in chrome

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:47 pm

my laptop is old and out of date though, so might work in safari on something newer

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:59 pm

also this is wonderful. i feel truly christmassy now

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 4:39 pm

This is great - both funny and clever! Hurrah!

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:10 pm

Thank you both!

The web version of the Renpy engine ought to work on Safari - it might be due to it being outdated, though, as you said.

Incidentally this has had quite a few views so far. Roughly 50 or so plays in one day, which is a record for me.

Post by **vom** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:23 pm

I had a couple of goes earlier and found my way down a couple of wonderfully deranged paths. Good work!

I also put this on itch earlier:

Post by **dng** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 3:52 pm

I can't get this to work, annoyingly (I'm using a ten year old mac laptop, and tried it in chrome and safari, although they're probably old useless versions of chrome and safari)

Post by **vom** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 4:28 pm

it works for me but the text is black on a black background (in the browser version)

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:17 pm

Ah. I'll get to fixing it...

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:23 pm

Okay, I think it's sorted out. Sorry about that.
