I may release the game tomorrow. I’m phrasing it this way because I don’t want to provoke the Cat that runs the universe. It’s already had too much fun with me. Right now, though, I need to relax. I have spent the last week or so working more than 10 …
Phenomenon 32 is, in a sense, all about Carl Sagan – so here is Carl Sagan’s Apple Pie Recipe. Verena sent me the link, and it brought a smile to my face. (No, it’s not just a recipe.)
Testing, testing, testing. One out of two problems seems to be OK now, though all these errors are so unpredictable that I still feel quite paranoid. The crashing error, oddly enough, seems to occur only when I’m running the game from inside Construct. When I just run the .exe, it …
I feel like I’m Job. This isn’t programming. This isn’t about logic or computer science or game design. This is metaphysics. This is fucking magic. I cannot get the audio to work properly. At one point it’s all tinny, then I spend two hours changing everything around, and nothing works …
In trying to fix the crashing issue, I made some changes to how the game handles sound. Changes that logically should make it work better and possibly prevent crashes. Now everything’s gone to hell and the sound becomes tinny at random. I am confused, and have no idea what to …
I am hoping to release Phenomenon 32 tomorrow. I’m not going to make any promises, though. I’m disappointed I didn’t manage it earlier, but then, huge development teams with million-dollar budgets also have last-minute problems, so maybe I’m being unfair to myself. Or maybe I’m just an incompetent moron making …
I’ve managed to beat two newly cropped-up bugs back into the ground. There’s only a single obstacle left to releasing the game… again. I’ve asked for help in the Construct forums, and have a couple of possibilities I can still try out. But for now, I will take a break. …
OK, to give you an idea of the strange stuff I’m struggling with. In the game there’s a type of block that falls if you jump on it. Pretty standard platformer stuff, really. And it works fine. But then, when you load, all blocks of this type are suddenly 16 …
Working. Started late because of cat issues. (Cat + Rain = Bad) No problems so far.
My glasses are now permanently broken. This makes things much harder. I have also suddenly encountered a bug that I cannot explain and that has never cropped up before. Maybe it was a fluke, but I don’t think so. Trying to figure it out, which is hard because it seems …
