pleas whisper me how you did it ok?
thanks.

Topic: Game Programming / Darkness: The Maze, Betatest

Im sorry, Im working on it, I just think that Cheaters ruin games
Do you have a generally slow computer? Because since I deleted most of the lag this has not been an issue?

Topic: Game Programming / Darkness: The Maze, Betatest

aah ok
LOL i just played it (before you wrote back) and before I knew what you meant( was just looking at your game) and quit at level 3 after I skipped the second one XD and now your whole comment makes a lot more sense

but I dont think its too hard, especially if you have unlimited tries (in my game)

man and I thought with your sokoban you mean like your karate class or something and you showed it to them xD

Topic: Game Programming / Darkness: The Maze, Betatest

wow wait what, quit at level three ??
what do you mean your sokoban ?
I know many people who actually arent used to gaming at all and they could nearly finish the game ô.Ô
and nobody else Ive asked thinks its too hard

I mean the human brain can remember 7 numbers, so you should at least be able to remember 3 positions on a piece of paper ?

Topic: Game Programming / Darkness: The Maze, Betatest

thank you frumptonmass,
dang I totally forgot about level numbers, but thank you for telling me!
This is more or less the “basic” version right now, if I make a part 2 (if people like part1) then I already have plenty of items planned like torches, flashlights and so on with different light abilities and so on
now that I think of it, the cheater level is super difficult, I will definitely change that, thanks

but the progress idea is very interesting, I think I will start to make a little statistics page after every level, so people can keep track of what theire doing

Topic: Game Programming / Darkness: The Maze, Betatest

cmon guys… I could really use your help here and id be very thankfull :)

Topic: Serious Discussion / Orgin of Life

One question, a serious question!
Just out of logic, how come some believers say god was always there in eternity, why didn’t he need a creator if the universe needed one? Thats the part which is making me the most upset :/

Topic: Serious Discussion / why are people gay?

In nearly every species there are gay examples (usually about 10% or something right?), it is all in the genes and dna

Topic: Game Programming / Darkness: The Maze, Betatest

Hello guys!
Many of you probably start vomiting as soon as they read the word “maze”, anyway this is a little different. The basic concept stays the same, you have to bring your mouse from the entrance to the end, avoiding the obstacles between both, but in this particular game you face other circumstances. You have to use light switches, keys, your eye-mouse coordination, your reflexes and your memory in order to successfully finish this maze!
I’m nearly finished with the game, since the first version of this game, I:

-increased the graphics A LOT
-fixed many many bugs
-implemented an autosavegame feature
-polished the script
-remastered the anti-cheat system
-eastereggs =D
-and so on…

But before I will upload anything to kong I want to hear your opinion, constructive feedback only plz, on:
how you like the game in general
what you would rate it and why
what I could improve
what I’ve done well
If I don’t demand too much, then please answer all of these okey ?

If you want a challenge, please choose “hard” ;)

So here it is, have fun =D and thank you for helping me :

Topic: Kongregate / Greg McClanahan?

Am I the first to find out Gregs last name or is it like so well known that nobody thought he should tell me??

Topic: Game Programming / Kongregate Chat

Is there an Api or something to paste text directly into the Kongregate chatwindow?
I know that copying text directly to the clipboard is possible( at least in their tutorials)
How could I address the chat window?
If there is, I would love to make a little “Kongregate Hotkeys” tool out of it!

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

new version will be up soon, with graphic improvements, and overall bug fix

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

I fixed it so that rightclicking will take you to the beginning again just like leftclick okey, so that should be solved

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

ah jona means rightclicking to the key and back, hehe Im gonna fix that now =)

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

well theoretically it could, if you can go over the checkpoint without having it touched in a frame,
please tell me what exactly you mean with the cheater screen so I can fix it ok ?

I was too fast on the second level… D:

hmm, I will increase the size of the checkpoints then, so even if it lags a bit, it wont happen again…

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

I know, I used a checkpoint system, which I actually didnt implement in the last few levels and some in between^^, but i’ve got an idea now, how to easily implement it in those levels, I thought people would have stopped to bother by then ;), but I will fix that right now, thank you for telling me

anyway, how did you like the game, apart from the anti cheat ?

Update:

Ok, so this is the list for now

To Do List:

-Improve Anti Cheat System

-Improve Graphics

-Optimize Tutorial

-Optimize Sound

-Rightclick cheat prevention

-Chest timer → 45 seconds

-Menu Button + Hitbox enlargement

I want to get the maximum out of this game, so do you have any other ideas on what to improve ?

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

jonathan, whoops ! I set the timer in the chest screen to 6 seconds for testing purpose ,sry! It should have been 45

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

I like to put Eastereggs and rewards which reveal a bit about myself, so people get encouraged a bit more to play it through instead of just playing two levels and saying it sucks

=)

YOU RUIN EVERYONES GOOD TIME, AND YOU ENJOY IT, THEREFORE WILL ENJOY MAKING YOU RESTART THE GAME, OTHERWISE YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO KEEP ON PLAYING! HAHA! ANYWAY, IF YOU JUST WANTED TO CHECK IF IT WORKS, I’M SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT OFFENDING CHEATERS IS A MEASUREMENT I HAVE TO TAKE, IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW HOW HARD THEY SUCK. >:)

If you tried to cheat you should feel addressed =)
is it too harsh or just right ^^ ?

Topic: Game Programming / How Do I make Levels? [SOLVED]

just make sure that the area where you enter the maze is not smaller than the button you press to enter the maze, so people dont spawn on the walls

and also try to think of something that makes your mazegame special, so it can stand out from all the other mazegames

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

Thank you Tryzx and UDMT! Anyway, could you also tell me what exactly you didn’t like about the game? Just so I know what I should focus on when trying to improve it.

Topic: Game Programming / Blindness Maze - My new game

Thanks to all of you,
To SumYungGai, I’m not that much of a graphic person, but I will try to change the graphics so that everything works fine together, if you stopped at the laser you probably didn’t find the timed switch and the thunderstorm yet, anyway, I’ve also been thinking about adding more items, like flashlights you could use for a certain amount of time to help you, and other light related items, but I think I will do that if I make a part 2.

One thing I personally want to improve are the sounds, the music doesn’t loop perfectly yet and the laser sound also kind of fails atm, but Im working on it.

To Feltope: One of the flaws many mazegames have is that they are easily cheatable, in this one you probably won’t be able to cheat, except you know something I don’t ( the only thing I didn’t consider at all are sol editors ), so I tried to set up an effective anti-cheat engine ;), which takes you to (what I like to call it) Screen of shame.

To LazerBomb: Already happened ;), hitbox of the key increased. Menu button is on my list now :)

One more thing, did you like the overall difficulty and learning curve, or did it get too hard at some time ?
