[pizza]

My game is now downloadable (it took ages)!
So, AtkinsSJ and everybody else, download it (demo) on my site.
8) :wink:

Tell your opinion about it.

EDIT: someone? http://akuagames.50webs.com/files/pumkin_demo.zip!!! :cry:

EDIT2: my game is not downloadable yet :oops: (D'oh! http://akuagames.50webs.com/smiles/smile9.gif)

EDIT3: now it's downloadable!http://akuagames.50webs.com/smiles/smile3.gif

[Mr.Onion]

Downloading results in a file which is 88KB and can't be unzipped. :(

Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.

If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again.

[pizza]

I deleted the old zip-file
but the new zip-file was too big...

*tilt*

[Julian]

I'm planning to make games.

[Devon Rose]

I got a few on the line already, Wizard wars (surprisingly it's very addictive), Road to Loarador (RPG) and Scott Bagg 2D, I made it more for comedic reasons, everytime scott jumps he says Ougch, Eeegch, Ooogch. I had a dream of scott bagg so I decided to make it, lol and it's very rare that I have dreams.

[pizza]

does anyone know how to zip a file to parts?

[Mr.Onion]

but the new zip-file was too big...

How big was it?

[drgamer]

To zip a file in parts (The only way I know, Havn't tried it though):
Seperate the files somewhat evenly (And still being small enough to upload) in size... Then just zip them up group by group...

[AtkinsSJ]

I think Pizza uses Game Maker, which sticks everything into one .exe file.

But pizza, I checked the screenshots of your games and the graphics are great! Did you do them yourself?

EDIT: Oh, and I can see if I can host the game for you, if you like.

[pizza]

Yes, I made all graphics myself.


How big was it?

1.22 Mt

[Dave Hettel]

Use the "tar.gz" format. It compresses files a lot better than zip.

[pizza]

I don't know... if people can't unzip the "tar.gz" file. :|

Anyway... how can you split files into multivolume archives with WinRAR? :o

[Mr.Onion]

1.22 Mt
Did you mean 1.22MB?

I have nothing that can operate on a .gz file nor a .rar file. Could you do it in as .zip?

[drgamer]

Do a search for 'PowerArchiver'
Don't worry about regestering: It doesn't effect the ability to use it... just annoying screen telling you to regsister

[Sokko]

I use the freeware tool "ZipGenius" for my compression needs. While it's sometimes a bit slower than commercial utilities, it can unpack every major compression format you're likely to run into. The interface has its quirks, but it's very good quality for a free product. (note: I don't recommend having more than one archiving tool installed at the same time, especially with the degree of shell integration that ZipGenius has)

[pizza]

sure.

the answer is here http://www.win-rar.com/press/downloads/Split_Files.pdf
but I can't open it

[Devon Rose]

Change all your image to PNG!!!!
My game used to be 5 MB now it's 1.13 MB
Why don't people use PNG images THEY ARE THEY BEST THING SINCE MS DOS AND WIN95!!

PS I did A biography of how I began making games (I put a picture of my face on there too I kinda regret it!)
http://www.freewebs.com/rayman100/aboutme.htm

[Devon Rose]

I used to use my real name, if you were on the old hamumu forums you'd know it's: Devon **** I don't want people to track me down through my last name!

[pizza]

Back to the topic!
:D
Download my game now:
http://www.akuasoft.co.nr/!!!

(Quickly! Before lines block. :lol: )

[AtkinsSJ]

How do I install it? I downloaded all the parts.

[death]

yeah I can't get to work either! :evil:

[pizza]

:D :P :) :| :(
Don't you have some kind of zip program?

Pumkin_Split.zip is the one you open.
(I used PicoZip to split the file)

You can extract it with Winrar.

[pizza]

Tell your opinion about it.

So?
...don't tell me you can't make it work :shock:

[AtkinsSJ]

I played it. It's good! I haven't beaten level 2 yet; I only played it once quickly. I live the graphics, and the colour effect!

[pizza]

What did you do and it didn't work?

[Mr.Onion]

What's your e-mail?

[Sokko]

What's your e-mail?

You know, you don't need to ask that question if the person has an e-mail button. :wink:

[death]

What did you do and it didn't work?
I pressed the extract button and it said I needed a cd of some sort :x :evil:

[Mr.Onion]

No I don't. That e-mail doesn't work.

why dosent it work

[Mr.Onion]

What did you do and it didn't work?
I pressed the extract button and it said I needed a cd of some sort :x :evil:
What exactly did it say?

[death]

Insert the disk! or something like that

[pizza]

So you downloaded all of the parts and tried to extract them with WinRAR, but instead it said "Insert the disk". :?: :?

[Mr.Onion]

I am throughly confused. :?: :? :? :? :?

[pizza]

That makes two of us.

[AtkinsSJ]

Or three. :roll:

[death]

When I run It it says that and I can't extract it!




I'll just try agian

[Mr.Onion]

Are using WinZip? You need something like WinRAR or ZipGenius to piece it together and extract it.

[pizza]

Finally I got it there in one piece. (Pumkin demo (http://s13.invisionfree.com/Akuasoft/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2377745) that is)

[SpiderPumpkin]

I've just played this, and I must say it's quite nice for a Game Maker game. Some things though:
1. The Pumpkin (*** am I capitalizing that? o_o) is moving too fast imo, it's kinda hard to control. Going around a corner can be a nightmare... >_>
2. Change that background music, it... really isn't good >_<
3. A saving or level-select feature would be nice.
BTW, do the Colorizers actually do anything except for changing the level color? -o_-o

1. If it was slower it'd be hard to get between walls.
2. You can turn the annoying music off. Press A.
3. You're supposed to play as far as you can. (Like in DX-ball)
BTW, Colorizers are just for getting points.

[SpiderPumpkin]

1. If it was slower it'd be hard to get between walls.
Why? o_o I don't really understand this statement.
2. You can turn the annoying music off. Press A.
Being able to turn it off isn't an excuse for bad music :-P Why even include music like that if its annoyingness forces you to turn it off anyway?

[pizza]

The size of a wall is 10x10, size of the pumpkin is 10x10 and you move 5 pixels/step. It would be rather difficult to get through a 10 pixel gap if you'd move 1 pixels/step. Just 1 pixel too left/right and you wouldn't get through.

PS: I'm not that good in making music...

Hmm... Can't you somehow decrease the movement rate (ie add a short pause before the Pumpkin moves another 5 pixels) or something? I keep walking past the gaps which I'm supposed to walk through because the Pumpkin moves so quickly :-/

I never had this problem, and I happen to like the annoying music!
