So, time to do more work I guess.

First an update on the nameless game I still haven't given a real name.
http://www.byond.com/games/TheMagicMan/WBAT
This one.

I forget everything I've done, but I have fixed a fair few bugs, the game should be relatively bug free now and should have no major or game breaking bugs.

I also went and rebalanced a lot of weapons. There is still going to be balancing issues, there probably always will be, but it is more balanced now.

Finally, I added some new types of abilities to the game. These help to counter certain strategies which were previously very annoying and hard to deal with.

Honestly, I don't think there is anything else I need to add to this game. Other than bug and balancing fixes.
The only problem with the game currently is that the average BYOND user is at least partially brain damaged. Most of them struggle to find the help button without asking for help (it's in the bottom right corner), and when they see the help button, they ask "how is that a help button"... The help button is a question mark (?), most of them don't know what a question mark is, or what it's intended meaning is.*
That is right, the average BYOND user such poor knowledge of punctuation marks that they don't know what a question mark is. Now I understand why most of them are having difficulty with double clicking on things to play a game.


Now that this game is finished, I will start work on another game. Actually, I'm just going to finish another game I almost finished but never got round to.
Specifically, http://www.byond.com/games/TheMagicMan/BlockMiners this game.
Though I fear people will find it too complex to play for the same reasons they find the previously mentioned game hard to play (I did replace the ? with HELP, but I may need to have several arrows pointing to it, make it 5x bigger and flashing every colour of the rainbow).
This game is also so close to being finished that it is fully playable. I just need to finish adding a few items and then the game is finished. Everything else in the game can be edited, added or removed without even needing to reboot the game, so I can add/change maps when I need to. (I may also make some sort of map editor).
It may be playable later on today, if I decide to finish it today, I'll probably host it for a while.

Here is some old screenshots.

And here is a new screenshot of a level that requires you to troll the hell out of the other player in order to win.

And here is one final screenshot.

Are you man enough to swim to the bottom of the ocean and take this diamond for yourself?


I will probably continue hosting the weapon game for a while, I can probably host both at the same time, so there is no problem there.




*I am very serious about this. I have had at least 2-3 people ask me what a question mark is, and I had to explain to them in detail what one was, and what it's function was.
