Use CTRL+R to refresh your browser, then download the latest versions of Upgrades Shop, and all the gauges (top and bottom).

Well thats not exactly what i meant. I meant if i put that thing in the game would it look jagged?
Ok, never mind, i just tested it out. It kinda looks jagged if u look closely. But i guess its alright.

You can put the money gage back in.  
And just do a gage that says something like "Launch bomb".

"Snowball in Hell"

Hmmm... Any other suggestions?

Quote :

it's the last big thing, isn't it.

Well u forgot the name of my game. So i believe its not. Someone would want a multiplayer version and i would have to do it then.

Ok, thats enough for today. Have to work on the Set(h) game now. Do u want yo picture in it?

ok, SnowGlobe is better i think. Its not that important really, just dont wanna use words like hell, damn, devil...
(Whats up with fast food?...)
I really want you to concentrate on the shop. The supership can wait since im yet to get to that stage to test it out. Can u believe how lazy im? I could just change the source code a bit, but instead i do it the hard honest way, by playing through to the supership.

Quote :

Supership? Oh, you mean Bar2. Meh--- that's finished. It's got everything you want, and it looks great. I even made the color "unobtainium blue"

Its finished on yo part. I still have to test it out. Need about 8 more hrs to get there though.
It looks great?... Hmmm... have u seen it in action? Did u actually get to that stage? Im impressed.
i think we should leave the highscore database for last. You can do upgrades shop now. Just remember to include minerals column there.
You could add images of fuel, battery, cargo bay etc for visuality.

Quote :

If we have extra time, do you want to do a Winter patch, like the Halloween patch?

Isnt it the WinterGlobe. Or is it the version after it? Im not thinking that far ahead.

Quote :

but lots of time to record sounds.

Phew, i ripped like 70hrs of music off the radio this year. Thats nothing.   I believe there are sites that have free game sounds and musics.  

Quote :

Huh?  I finished the Upgrades Shop, didn't I? You didn't want the icons in it-- I guess that's safe, so we don't have to redraw it every time we change an upgrade item.

Sorry i meant repairs or gadgets shops. Either one.
The minerals are kinda related to the repairs shop. Because i had too much space left for all the other shops, i decided to keep the minerals column.

Please, dont include that screw gun as a drill. Its stupid and impractical. We already have cardboard box and an air conditioner, no more funny stuff please.

there are lots of non-Christians out there playing MLU, so making all the versions named after Christian holidays is a baaaad plan.

Im ok with just using numbers (MLU 1, MLU 2, MLU 3). Whether u r atheist or a believer, it wont affend you. But it does sound kinda gay.
SnowGlobe migh affend austarlians or south americans cause there aint no snow there this season.

Quote :

We can't  pirate  the music, because every MLU player will be a witness.

Well, pirating is not that bad unless we decide to sell the game. I pirate all the time.

Quote :

The most interesting sounds, though, could be the MESSAGE TRANSMISSIONS.  Let's record them, so they talk when the players read them. We could even put a "replay last transmission / mute / music1 / music2" button next to the dashboard speaker, so that players can listen to old messages and choose the music while they drive.

Well u gonna have to lend yo voice to the transmissions.
All the reader programs sound like Steven Hawking, so we need a human voice.

Quote :

OK. But, how about we swap the names of drill1.png and drill2.png? Drill1 looks stronger than drill2, and it looks related to drill3.

Ok, if that matters so much . As you know im all about functionality, not eye candy...

Quote :

If you don't want "snowglobe", what else could we put on the dashboard in the opening screen?

Fine, snowball it is. Again, im all about functionality, not bells and rings...

Quote :

I realize that you didn't invent the word "gay", and I realize that English isn't your best skill. I also appreciate that you are often rude when you don't intend to be rude. However, I would appreciate it if you would think a little more carefully when using the word "gay".

Of course i didnt mean it. Being russian it sometimes makes me wonder why all that superficial politeness and spark-to-a-haystack defensiveness. Like once my professor asked if there was any russian in a class so he/she would not be offended, so he told a joke, which i didnt get at all and didnt find it offensive not a bit. I could not possibly come up with something that would offend me as being me. If its the truth, it is the truth, and there aint no way around it. If its false, then why would u care?
Again, its all about the context. You can say N-word of the G-word in different situations which would produce different results.
And stupid and impractical is not what i would describe it like. Actually, its is very practical, it saves about 10 bytes on yo hard drive when u use "1" instead of "Pumpkin Patch", and u have ordering when you do that. It is kinda non-creative, i agree.

Quote :

RIAA is famous for throwing a $4,000 lawsuit for a kid downloading ONE illegal song. Do we really want to battle a big-money lawsuit for distributing pirated music?

Ohhh... Im shaking in me boots...  
Of course im aware that pirating is dangerous. Thats why i only pirate in my college's computer lab which has like 200 computers and all with the same IP. Good luck catching me.  

Quote :

Will we have sound in the December edition?

It all depends on you mostly. As u know im not very experienced with sounds. Here is what i think we need:
1. 45-60 sec of background music.
2. 3 Explosions sounds
3. Drilling sound
4. Jet sound
5. Teleporation sound (something like swooooshh) [i realize its difficult to "picture" sounds in text   ]
6....

Anyways, lets finish with the shop first. How are the gadgets and repairs shops are doing? I practicly can change the game to suit the new graphics in 2-3 hours, so as of now im not doing much regarding the game. Yesterday i worked through the transmission messages; alligned text and graphics.
I think you can get rid of the controls on the start page. Ill be adding difficulty settings there and anything else i would need. You can make the intro text of bigger font and add some stuff to it (whatever u want that would sound good). As of now, the text is kinda hard to read. Since we have the intro in the HTML, i think there is no use of it in the game. Also i need two lamps (that can be on and off) on the gage bar to signify that jet booster and radioactive mineral processor are on/off. You can get rid of the speaker and put them in its place.

Quote :

The yellow liquid magma looks good 99% of the time. However, it looks weird when it finishes going DOWN or left or right in an empty tunnel.

What do u mean? It does flow instantaneously, which is kinda weird, but other than that i did not notice anything wrong with it.
By caps you mean the magma that touches ground?

If I may just interupt you both, keep up the great work.

No problem, u can interrupt me.
Dont know about Seth... He is so busy racking up the score, you dont wanna get on his bad side.  
Like omg, Seth, 269,693,825 points!!! Thats crazy. And I was wondering where u dissapeared. How about making some graphics, huh?

Yeah I saw that this morning. Very nice job Seth.

Read through a few of the pages. You guys work on this game alot. So far I like the ideas being put in. Though I wish the update would be sooner. Of course don't we all wish that?

Yeah, i wish that too. But Seth is a busy person. He has to take care of his family and he has a payed job, besides MLU (which is volantary... hmmm... is that how its spelled?). Not to mention, to rack up as many points as possible. Busy bee...
Im sure he gonna complain about the end a bit cause i havent made it there yet, and its not as tested out as I want it to be.

Family first. As long as an update does come, I will be happy.

Its spelled "Voluntary".  

The end, there should be no end! Ok mabye there should but it should be a good end. Something new everytime when you beat it.

Everything has an end, otherwise there would be no purpose of playing the game. I am also constrained by the system memory. I cant have gazillion number of points or bottomless ground or 1000 minerals. Im about 1/4 away from crashing the memory.

Well I hope everything goes well for the next update. I'll be here to test any betas you have.

Yeah, I'll be messing with my profile soon.

Looks likes its time to upgrade the games memory capacity.
