Topic, Game "Obscurity"

  I will possibly not start stopping not not working on the game soon.

edit: Wow GL that level is really cool! Good aesthetic and choice of colours. The lava parkour was awesome :)
Feedback: the blue key is really far away and there's nothing to do after you get it other than head to the exit (makes the end of the level a little boring). Also, you might want to add some consistency to the doors (if A goes to B, then B should go back to A)

  Once gecko stops not working on it xD

  I wonder when this game will be finished...^^

  There, I just moved the key to the top of the tunnel. Thanks for finding this :P

  Hmm...

  You can get to the finish quite early (you can get the blue key by falling down into the fan to get next to it, so without the need of the red key.

I tie you! >:O

  Whee! That was fun :D
Great to play an Obscurity level again :)
Highscore, btw C:

  New-ish level I forgot to post: Escape In Twilight (Obscurity)

For non-testers: http://x0.no/g3mj

  oh.........

  It's not done, that's why it won't end.

  how come GIS' level won't end?
I can't figure out what facility it talks about...

Why, John Cooney of course!

  Yep, there's a limit on how large a URL can be (level codes are entirely stored within the address, instead of on a server)

Embeded images tend to result in really big level codes.

  Unfortunately, I can't, there'll be a grey screen. It's because of the level code, I'm sorry.

  Could you make the cookie level on the non-tester version?

  Nice, psychomaster!

  Me too, I really need to trim down on planned features, focus and get a move on with development.

I've been doing some reading on video game architecture. I'm constantly reminded how the obscurity code could be made so much more efficient, and as always I'm torn between the balance of how to write code that works and how to write code that's clean and elegant.

I'm hopefully not about to make any radical changes to the codebase, but there's some huge productivity killers in there. E.g. One class per entity, with each entity having it's own custom-written behaviour (except a few shared components for stuff like flight and physics). I checked the other day and there's like 7 different steps required just to create a working entity in the game and level editor.

Though to a point I feel like this is the best I could do with the tools at hand, without resorting to masses of configuration files and over-engineered code (or worse, putting the burden of editing JSON and XML snippets onto the people designing the levels)

Anyway, I shall finish adding fish and acidic liquid tomorrow. :)

  So exited for the official release. ^_^

  That wasn't intended, sorry ^.^

  Wow that level made me hungry

  Haha, yeah, I'm sorry ;)

  so THAT'S where my cookie went. Dang it :(

  I made a small animation test level: COOKIES NOMOMOM und (Obscurity) :D

  Acid and underwater enemies! :D
The new feature is really nice, btw. Well done! :)

  Portals? I feel like making a level with several layers on it, and I need portals to transfer to each layer.

  Custom animations are now implemented!
They share graphics with the custom tilesheet. Create a custom animation entity from the menu and then edit the properties.

You have to provide a comma-separated list of frames that your animation will have. Each frame on the sprite sheet is 12x12 pixels, and the first frame is number 0.
You can also have larger frames (24x24, 48x48, etc.) using the width and height settings (which will also change the frame numbers accordingly)

What should I work on next?

  And I have Limbo as my wallpaper. :D

  This is amazing, Gis! :D

  Awesome use of the npc sprites I gave to gecko, also nice limbo effect.
