Topic: General Gaming / This is the Only Fail Badge

The problem is that Kongregate API is reporting your level progress… the game code is no different in the AG/Kong version beyond the API call.

Sooooooooo I’ll talk to Greg tomorrow about what should happen, but we can kill that off if we feel it necessary. Progression should be recorded in one way or another but it sucks that people are getting varying lengths of pause between the levels.

There were a lot of developers there. Jiggmin, Paul Preece (DTD), Glaiel-Gamer, Brad Bourne, and the list goes on and on and on and on……

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard, their shadows searching in the night, streetlight people, living just to find emotion, hiding, somewhere in the nighttttttttttttttt

Drunk??? Not even close, you troll. Takes more than a couple Guinnesses to rock my ship.

Crappy iPhone camera??? Most certainly.

Meeting Tasselfoot??? Priceless.

Topic: Kongregate / Make a Poem/ Draw a Picture for Greg

The submissions thus far have been more than optimal.

Greg won’t know about this thread because he’s rather busy today doing other things, or so I assume.

Topic: Kongregate / Make a Poem/ Draw a Picture for Greg

GOOD MORNING KONGREGATE.

I am going to FLASH GAME SUMMIT on Sunday and everyone’s favourite person GREG will be there. In fact I know for sure that we’ll have at least TEN MINUTES to talk at the AFTERPARTY so I need your help.

I need you to write a POEM or DRAW A PICTURE or WRITE SOMETHING (like a thank-you) about GREG. Keep it clean and good-tempered. Write about your favourite badge he’s implemented, or the way he makes witty remarks towards users, or ask him why his WoW character has died 2 out of the last 3 raids. In fact just write anything, just make sure it has Greg in it. If you need help, consider your choices: He plays WoW, he LOVES Flash games, he likes sugar gliders and hedgehogs, and he owes me tacos (2 of them plus interest).

DON’T TELL GREG. This is a surprise for him. The postings here will be compiled into a book and handed to him on Sunday.

I’ll take pictures of the handing off of the item.

POST IT HERE BEFORE SATURDAY 8 AM. THANKS.

Topic: General Gaming / Run Elephant Run

Currently I’m thinking about setting up a blacklist array of power gamers. Since Kongregate can read in usernames into the API I can automatically double the difficulty of certain users and assign them their own scoreboard. I think that would be hilarious.

var blackList:Array = new Array(“Tasselfoot”, “MrRubix”);

@TheoSoft it’s not an obsession, merely a coincidence!

Topic: General Gaming / Run Elephant Run

Sigh. The magical team MrRubix/Tasselfoot strike again.

What’s funny is that I geared that Insane mode towards YOU TWO and in one day you have taken it down (in three lives no less).

Congrats. I shall work harder to find ways to befuddle both of you.

Topic: Kongregate / Merge "Kong chat merge" chats?

I have been seeing a lot of threads talking about “chat merges” and I think we should consolidate them into one thread chat. What do you think?

Topic: Kongregate / jmtb02's games on ArmorGames profile :?

Nice job Phatcat and Panda_Man, that was brilliant.

I work for Armor Games as Head o’ Game Development. Before Armor Games my work was sponsored (such as you might see Coke sponsoring a football match). But when I graduated college I became a full-time developer for Armor Games and even moved down to the office. The reason we upload to the AG account is so that we can have all our content, revenue, and other parts under the same account. It doesn’t make sense for our developers to all get paid and then pay us back, or to have API changes we need to make and can’t because someone’s account is locked down and they are on holiday to the moon.

As to the “Programmed by jmtb02” thing, that’s my fault. I actually have the ability to put in “Programmed by jmtb02” splash screen (see the game Sixty) but I always forget :(.

So what I would LOVE is for the Kongregate staff to create a COAUTHOR so that we can sharesy-wheresy the content author.

Topic: General Gaming / Achievement Unlocked

I think 300 is a good benchmark. I doubt it would be very difficult to achieve that number after a game or two. I am pretty bad at video games so I don’t know.

In regards to sensitive time lagging and such, I might put out a version of this that puts out a sort of dual timer (time and framerate based) that gives a bit of info about each. The issue here is that when you play by framerate it’s consistent with in-game calculations (you move x distance in y frames at any computer speed). When you base things on time intervals things will be skewed differently based on speed of computer (fast computer A can travel X farther than slow computer B).

Topic: General Gaming / Achievement Unlocked

I’m down to 187 seconds from start to finish.

In case you guys didn’t know we changed the time achievements down to 90 seconds max completion after Tasselfoot annihilated our game within 8 hours of it coming out (cheers!). Not to say that his video is still not an awesome achievement… he’s standing around for time to finish at the end :).

The game should be on Kong fairly shortly. I have asked Greg, “Would you kindly make a badge for every single achievement?” (Bioshock anyone? no? okay.) but he said that 100 achievements is a bit much, so we might need to settle for 50 or something.

I agree, even though Draw Play 3 doesn’t have an API it should be the challenge.

Topic: Kongregate / Greedy

@The_Round_Peg, the industry is very much being hit by the economic downturn. *http://kotaku.com/5084613/rumor-midway-chicago-hit-with-more-layoffs *http://kotaku.com/5078488/brash-hit-by-lay-offs-kills-game *http://kotaku.com/5077694/thq-delays-red-faction-posts-114m-loss-confirms-layoffs *http://kotaku.com/5071439/electronic-arts-lays-off-six-hundred *http://kotaku.com/5069933/avalanches-lost-contracts-claim-77-jobs *http://kotaku.com/5047650/ncsoft-to-kill-european-studio-kill-tabula-rasa *http://kotaku.com/5036345/ncsoft-austin-also-rumored-to-be-hit-with-lay+offs-publisher-denies-it *http://kotaku.com/5035723/midway-confirms-lay+offs-cancellation-of-austin-project What you may be thinking of is all the news that the video game industry is not getting hit as hard as other similar industries. But it is still getting a sturdy beating across the head. And for ad sales, online advertisement growth slowed tremendously this Quarter and will continue to. More ads can supplement that gap but it is still a rough and tumble market for ads. BTW Kongregate tag formatting really puts a frown on my face.
