Author Topic: The Forgettable Dungeon: Early Access Release  (Read 341649 times)

Hm, it's been a while
what's been going down since kickstarter?

probably preparing for steam and making all the kickstarter thingies for people (custom mob etc)

mac shopping, and sandwich eating :)

I can't find where you said when. When are you going to start contacting people about their rewards?

I want to ship the beta first, at least in some form before I start doing that.

Fixing bugs, crashes, added some more steam support.



Nothing really too visual , so I haven't really had anything to post.

Edit:

Also released a slightly updated character editor,

I may have already posted this but someone made a subreddit as well if you're into that.

Just wondering, Have you gotten/created a soundtrack for this game yet?

Will the mission editor not be broken like it was in The@Team?

It wasn't broken, I just didn't include it.

I actually posted a link to it a bit after releasing The @Team.

I have someone lined up right now, but it may not be in for a while.

Just to give you guys an update, I have the beta working on both Linux & pc, through steam. This was fun to do, and by fun I mean not fun but thankfully I just have to make the build scripts once then I never have to think about them again.

Now I just need to fix some cross play issues, finish organizing the steam depots the correct way to prevent extra downloads, and remove any content that is not mine.

I also may have to redo the method that characters are sent over the network as it seems there's some issues sending from linux to steam.

Then after I acquire a mac I get to port the game to mac :D

Again, the great thing about all this initial porting is that once it's done I don't have to really mess with it in the future as long as I keep my programming consistent.

Edit: Also Linux is case sensitive in torque script with some methods, that is fun. Thankfully I kept pretty consistent since I'm used to working with c++.

Edit2: And I fixed the bug that was preventing cross platform play, now for the least exciting screenshot ever.



Rogue is hosting on linux, and my zoidberg is playing on windows.

give blockland testers a shiny badge so we'll be rich and famous when the game goes viral

yes a "B" with a silvery/gold outline

beta release soon? :D

Yes, though it's going to just be the first dungeon theme with slightly more content.

It's mainly going to be just to get a testing baseline with linux & PC support, mac is going to come once I get the Mac.

You will all get a magical B in your hearts, because there's not going to be an official forum for the game.

I just ticked off one of the last big things I wanted to do, now it's just down to a few minor tweaks.

Mainly I need to figure out if it's kosher to send emails containing the game keys directly to users main Kickstarter emails, or if I should go through a survey and allow people to choose.

The issue with that is I only get one survey round to everyone, I can't do anymore after that.

I'm also pretty sure I have figured out a way to send out unique steam keys to all ~350 ish beta testers, which was harder than you think to figure out.

What about a flair on the subreddit?

just give them a shiny badge next to their name in the scoreboard.

He's not a mod. He'd have to ask /u/jman583 first.
