« Reply #90 on: February 27, 2011, 07:07:20 PM »
Demo game file:

http://voyagerrobotics.herobo.com/SoR-game%203D/SoR3D_DEMO6_1.zip

read demo as: to lazy to design more levels   :P ;D

Basically this is an older version of my engine zipped up and labelled "DEMO"
Wow! 4th page!!

And for all those people who can read binary, I don't want smart comments about the secret message in the menu

Forgot to mention controls:
WASD moves
Space jumps

You have my permission to sell it and keep all profit.

If it's extra awesome, I might even let you call it the 'official SoR game' ;D

And the SoR game has its own page:
http://voyagerrobotics.herobo.com/SoR-game%203D/SoR_Game.html

I'm redoing my website in HTML, no more damn WYSIWYG editor!
It may take a while to load... The title image is a bit heavy



Edit: changed the title image, faster loads

SoR Game UPDATE
« Reply #99 on: May 20, 2011, 05:43:58 AM »
Plainly:

I'VE FAILED

Ok not really, but your probably wandering why its taking so long;
Well it turns out that I have a life too (good i'm not just a spam bot :P  :o)
And around this time of year its busy for me...

Well I'll be releasing the final version soon (i hope)
At least before the end of the world hehe  :D ;D

The world hasn't ended yet hehe ;)

On a more serious note, i plan to release sometime in the next two months

On another note are any SoR users willing to compose some theme music for me?
So far i've come to the conclusion that Audacity + Electronic keyboard  does-not-equal good music  :P


As before:
Anyone who wants to get a version before every one else, can sign up to be a bug tester!
Just PM or e-mail me ([email protected])

voyager, I might be able to also give the music a shot. If you're interested, I wouldn't mind knowing what sort of style you were looking for.  ;)

Hi all!

I'm adding the finishing touches now  ;D
List of cool things:

  • Cheats (more like enhancements ;) )
  • Shuffling music*
  • Easter eggs**
  • Under 8MB uncompressed***
  • WASD and Space controls
  • And if I have time a difficulty mode (no promises) with randomly generated maps ;D

All those annoyin' asterisks:
*To both WaterPig Master and Canabots,
I recruited both of you because I need two or more pieces of music for the shuffling
  ;)

**Not tellin where they are either Mwahahaha

***Its under 5MB without any music so far so that's just a guesstimate

Email questions to: voyager2 AT irishnation DOT com
Promotional video in the pipeline!


Stay Tuned!

Been hectic with exams for the last week — Half term from now on, so I'll try to get at least one piece done for you.

Thanks,

Need any more DRM-free music? I can generate something, too, for the cause . . .

Same here actually  :D

Yep, the more the better (not so good for file size though :P)

I like .wav and .mp3

I'm in a similar situation, and exams are looming only a couple weeks away. I'll try to have at least one done as well.

SoR's Computer Game GML mini tutorial
« Reply #113 on: May 28, 2011, 08:23:01 PM »
I really never mentioned much on the random shuffling, so here goes:

In GML code:

Code: [Select]
{
  sound_replace("0",random(3),1,false)
  sound_play(0)    
}

sound_replace() replaces sounds inside the game executable with sounds in the game folder.

random() makes a random number, the number inside brackets is the maximum

sound_play() plays the sound, the variable inside the brackets is the name


If there is no music it will return a error message...
Or your computer station will blow up and you'll be shot by Romulans

Hello all!

I have learnt a very important lesson...
NEVER EVER TRY TO MAKE A MAZE GENERATOR! EVER!!!
The Horror!  :( The Horror!

I will make some nice spacious forests for you guys to explore, but consider the maze generator stuff a discarded idea!

That Promotional video is I promised is in the pipeline too....
Special evil stuff , etc...
