No wonder the editor was still a bit hard to approach. We haven’t YET payed any attention to it’s usability – and have only tested it when implementing the things we want in the game. But it SHALL be tested and developed a bit later on – and instructions are going to be written as well. We’ll aim at making the editor MUCH easier to dive into, and use. I’ll be testing and giving ideas, but our very own Game Master will have to do all the actual coding work, of course.

So at this point: Well done Redemption, if you were able to accomplish something with the early editor already (and without any instructions)!

We’re winning now, but there will be a new vote each week until only one competitor remains. So just remember to vote next week, and after that. I’ll be reminding you of course.

Oh, and thanks DRL! Every vote counts, the competition is really tough.

Thanks for the bugfinds Redemption. I probably won’t get into working with the editor until a bit later, as the main game is my focus right now.

I added an entry to my ‘Log’: http://drl5000aka5000drl.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/2beegames-game-driftmoon/
It is not that great, just a few days old and has only three entries (counting Driftmoon´s). Yet, whoever drops by, will definetly read what I wrote about Driftmoon (Mostly are quotes of comments I did, nothing “great”.)
Hopefully it will help giving Driftmoon an extra vote or two.

Played it, loved it (except when velvet died and I couldn’t get her back – I couldn’t heal her mid-battle), went straight to the editor.

Some parts of it were hard to pick up, but I think I’ve gotten the hang of most of it now. The floor editor in particular was a little tricky. The final version’ll probably have help menus and that though, so no worries.

Also, I managed to crash it!

. Using the wall tool to create a small pillar type thing (really tiny) then trying to joint an object to it caused a crash for me.

. I tried jointing an object I’d made to be flat to a terrain but it kept crashing on me. It was hard to figure out why, but but eventually I figured out that making an object flat removes its physics data, so the joints = death. Also, if you give a flat object physics and move it around its graphic stays static.

. Not a crash, but I found that dying in the editor made you quit to the main menu when you press escape.

A preview version… GrEaT!
I am having serious connection problems so I can not say I will be able to download it…
Of course, I did vote – As of time of writing, I can say the following:
Driftmoon is at the TOP, with 21% of votes (the closest one being a game named “Kablooey!”, with 19% of votes).
I did not understand very well that star-vote thing, but I did notice that this “Kablooey!” (duh, it really needs an easier-to-write name) had 3 complete yellow circles and one almost, while Driftmoon had 4 completed yellow circles .
So I am happy to say, that for the moment, Driftmoon is WINNING! (or so it looks like)

P.S.: Good luck in the competition ville, after so much work, it is will be great to see Driftmoon in the #1 place

Preorder sounds good!

Another thing I forgot to mention earlier: needs to have screenshots with saved games, or at least more info. Otherwise it’s a bit hard to keep track of the different saves.

I think there is no no need to make difficult combat attack (use double bow or sword). In my opinion it’s enough to use one primary weapon (bow or sword in right hand) to attack and other – secondary (shield or torch) to push enemy back or burn them… ofcourse it better to attack by left mouse button.
>I seem to be doing is standing in one position clicking on the enemy
hm. it can be realised by only one way = to do attack+walk like in Notrium (WSAD control)? O_o
Anyway it will be great game.

Speaking of bugs, I remember encountering a wolf named Fly… around the shield goblin place, I think?
