So much nostalgia when Semi-Charmed Life starts, nostalgia for BLUECUPTOOLS! Great to have another episode, takes me back to the early days of developing Guard Duty

Thanks for taking a look, honestly it might not be worth your trouble (unless there are other people working like this). I spent a couple of days going through and converting everything over to room script, so it all plays nice with SC now. It's good to hear you're revisiting the project, it's an amazing plug-in!

I've been playing around with Speech Centre and it's such a time saver!

However, I've run into a snag. We use custom hotspot properties for base responses that don't need specific code, whenever the character responds with just a line of dialogue.

If defaultInteract or defaultLook is set to True, it uses the lines provided below.



Looks like Speech Centre doesn't pickup on these lines (those speech file numbers were added manually), I guess this isn't how most people handle default responses but it seemed like a nice tidy way of doing it when we started.

Anyway, we have 80+ rooms setup like this...

I guess my question is: Is this something SC might be able to support in the future? I really don't fancy going through and adding all of these to room script

Another great podcast These past few have really hit it out of the park. The one about self care came at a pretty important time for me, has definitely made a positive impact on my working working process. Thanks guys! <3

Also voted and commented. Fingers crossed for you!

Hey SilverSpook, massive congratulations on the release, I love how much passion you've clearly put into this project. I've not got around to playing it yet but enjoyed what I watched of your Let's Play.

Just though I'd chime in about Greenlight, it seems Valve are approving games in pretty frequent waves, I'm not sure how frequently but I submitted Guard Duty (my first submission to Steam) on the 22nd Feb and it was Greenlit on the 16th March. Don't worry about the 'no' votes, GD fell victim to that initially (there's a bit of a culture of people hating on 2D atm) but eventually had a majority positive (63%) and we ended with 435 'yes' votes. I'm pretty confident you'll get through, it's clear from the trailer that you have a finished product with all original assets and solid gameplay, that's mostly what they're looking for.

Chin up and don't give up hope!

Thanks for the Happy Birthdays I went stand-up paddleboarding and ate trifle

Happy Birthday to all my fellow June babies

Any news on the next podcast? Have just caught up with the last 15 or so episodes in my backlog Really liked the GDC one, had a nifty change of pace.

If you're stuck for topics it would be nice to hear one about the challenges that come with making a commercial release, press packs, promotion, non disclosure contracts -that kind of thing

*Edit: Didn't think that through. Sorry for raising hopes of a new episode

Thanks guys!

I've had a productive day in Photoshop whilst drinking fizzy drinks. Hurrah!

Stupot, consider my cockles warmed

Ahh, nothing better than a cup of brew, a freshly trimmed moustache and a new podcast, here here!

Ooh, you mentioned Blazing Dragons! A game close to my heart I've been trying to emulate the graphics style for years, it's one of the prettiest adventures of the 320x era.

You need some new trousers Ben :p

HL2 goes to Babar the elephant

XCOM has gone, i also have Half-Life 2 if anyone wants it?

Still up for grabs then

Ghost you win XCOM! Unless you already have it :p

I have a game where the player is rewarded for naming a character Sid Meier.

Name the game and you will be rewarded

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You guys rock, these podcasts are the perfect inspiration for game making. For that i thank yee!
