Dlcs, this game was soo incredibly slow. I think it would work much better on my laptop, but it died.
Interestingly, while I was playing it, this message about the "virtual memory" being low and that Windows was going to increase it came up. Later, another one came up, and then... suddenly the game went really fast! Do you think that maybe this game uses quite a lot of memory (I'm talking about RAM, not HD space)?

You don't mean "it suddenly went fast" as in you'd gone onto the triple speed level, do you?
How much RAM does your computer have? Mine is 448MB (Don't ask cuz I don't know)

No, I was still on the first level at that point, somehow. Maybe I closed the program and reopened it again.dlcs18 wrote:You don't mean "it suddenly went fast" as in you'd gone onto the triple speed level, do you?
I went into the Control Panel, into System, and it said that it had 260MB. I think my laptop has more.How much RAM does your computer have? Mine is 448MB (Don't ask cuz I don't know)

ok, i just have one suggestion for demo 3. maby dlcs18 can add one save slot so the game does'nt lose the data from where you are.
Too busy with EHM2007
My record:
Atlanta Thrashers: 1 Stanley cup (4 seasons)
Detroit Red Wings: 4 Stanley cups (8 seasons)
Dallas Stars: 1 Stanley cup (2nd season in progress)

Actually, my XP computer routinely throws up that message whenever it's been in use long enough (a few days to a week maybe?) w/o rebooting. Many programs tend to "leak memory" if you use them for extended periods of time. Sometimes I try closing and relaunching Internet Explorer. I've also once seen Skype taking up 100% CPU time for god knows what reason (while not even using it), so I shut down and restart Skype to stop it from behaving strange. (It was making WA Editor very unresponsive.)mqdar wrote:Interestingly, while I was playing it, this message about the "virtual memory" being low and that Windows was going to increase it came up.

Also, if you have things like a virus checker and it decides to do a scan when you're playing the game, it's likely to slow things down while the scan is going.
Yes, I am gonna add that.stinky2 wrote:ok, i just have one suggestion for demo 3. maby dlcs18 can add one save slot so the game does'nt lose the data from where you are.
The reason it's not in Demo 2 is because the length in that version is small enough for people to easily complete it in one playing.

Double-post, but no-one will notice this otherwise.
Is there anyone who has ideas for game elements they would like to see in this game?
If I think the idea is good and I can implement it I will implement it.
I'm asking this because, for the past few days I haven't been able to think of any new game objects to put in... (But I've still been working on other parts of the game so don't think I've just been lazy)
EDIT: Well what do you know, as soon as I post I get some ideas.
You can still post ideas if you have any though.

Actually, if you think about it, because the game seems to take up so much memory, are you sure that you can really make it much bigger?dlcs18 wrote:I dunno how much memory the game uses.mqdar wrote:Dlcs, this game was soo incredibly slow.

I have no idea how this could be done, but: Do you think there's any way of storing the rooms in files, and GM reading them, rather than just storing everything in memory?

I can't play or anything, but how about chickens?
Chickens will be there throughout the game worlds, and the story will be about catching all the chickens.
The game reward will be a chicken, the boss battles will be fighting for chickens, WHAT GRAVITY IS WHERE WILL BE SHOWN (when necessary) BY CHICKENS.

i should change my signature to be rude to people who hate pictures of valves
Blast!10: Okay, in the future I'll try to have gravity switching more often, although I'm gonna leave level 3 as it is.
If anyone is interested, I have some screenshots of Demo 3 (which is going to include the entire World 1)
