Awesome! I'll download this after work! :D

Thankful that this forum isn't like most (not all) of the others out there. And that I was in a position to pre-order MV in the first place, as opposed to having to wait awhile to save up for it.

Look's like *Gaia's Dream* IS going to make it to an online demo by the weekend (Sunday night). Graphics incomplete but first chapter done!

In my experience - with the same issue, i.e. power cut - you can attempt to copy and paste things from other "whole" projects because maybe one or more might be corrupt, not all of them, but in the end it's better to start again. With MV in particular you have the advantage of separate plugin...

You'd think that, in their infinite wisdom because they DID create something meant to be compatible with such devices, that they'd put something like this in the core code. However, that's the beauty it. Because it uses HTML5/JS for cross-compatibility, you can use the DeviceOrientationEvent...

Can't argue with you both on those points. My biggest problem - so the other half tells me constantly - is I tend to be a perfectionist right from the start. Bash something out and expect it to be good first time, then tweak it until it is. "Rinse and repeat..." (I like that). Haha!

@Sinnistar It certainly is like a scavenger hunt. Plus it gives that extra incentive to play and possibly increases the replayability. A good example is perhaps Ocarina of Time, which has so many secrets, easter eggs, other game nods, etc. that I spent a good part of my life finding them all...

He's ninja'd me a few times so I leave him to it now LOL. You'd think, right?! But then perhaps they KNEW that the community and some of MV's users would find a solution FOR them. ;)

Just what I'm doing, but with improvements. And then I'm going to test it, specifically online.

Personally, I agree. To me it's MORE logical to put them into one. The reason I'm putting it up for vote is a number of my testers prefer them as separate plugins. That way, they said, they can turn them On/Off in the "plugin list". *Shakes head* At least here there are more pragmatic people. LOL

I have three plugins to randomize images on the Title Screen, Game Over screen and Loading... screen. These were intended to be game-exclusive, but my main game dev co-partner suggested they be made available publicly. So, I'm putting it to the vote on whether to keep them as separate plugins...

The way default MV caches (or precaches) images is not very good. Preloading images (via the Preload Manager plugin) DOES help a great deal.

I'm with you on that! Gaia's Dream has a few nods to Otherworld, and vice versa, plus some not-so-subtle ones (such as Gaia being modelled loosely on my other half in her youth). And some subtle ones, references to things mostly. In fact, I was thinking of giving a prize for anyone who finds...

Agreed. That's the kind of "personal" touch all games need. (Doom is a prime example. Lots of hidden gems, secrets and Easter-egged content. And The Stanley Parable has a level nod to Minecraft. Awesome!)

Not only that it relies on the facesets, which (for me anyway) is annoying. I've started writing my own as well, where it relies on the actor name plus a "bust" or "profile" suffix. I often found I had several of the same files renamed - unnecessary clutter. As far as Gaia's Dream, lots of...

Been reading through this on and off. It's proving to be quite useful because I've implemented a small gender routine in both Otherworld and Gaia's Dream. It doesn't really do anything yet but this has given me some ideas.

Oh this is gonna be a tough one. I had my favorites but liked each one for different reasons.

There have been very few updates (anywhere) on purpose. Both Otherworld and Gaia's Dream are being worked on. And both will have one of those "big reveals" when there's a little something of substance. Admittedly, I've been working more on Gaia's Dream than Otherworld, so I'm hoping to put a...

Hi @Micah. Welcome. I guess in a sense we're all learning. Some are more learned than others, so that's what makes this forum cool. We kinda all help one another out. And so if you need to know something I'm sure there'll be someone who knows the answer. ;)

Agreed. You'd think they'd actually "fix" the bugs instead of just "patching" them. Dropbox is fine, but its free account has far less storage space than any other online storage (2Gb rather than with Google Drive's 15Gb). Mediafire doesn't have a bad month-to-month deal ($5/mo) for 1Tb and is...
