Does this look like it would work?

Remind me, but how do you guys do customtextures for objects - don't you just replace the actual file in the Data directory?

Getting closer...


And a little screenshot to compensate for a few extra days of waiting.

Enjoy!

Ohoh, interesting! :D Question - I see a line in the Blitz window that catches my attention, specifically; "... also Hubs/Textures/Mod[els?]" What's going on there? :o That's from ages ago, custom models was always the plan at the beginning. I haven't programmed it yet, so no promises, but if thing...

No, just hubs.

Magical? Or Lost?

OR MAYBE BOTH!?!?!?!?

(dun dun duuuhhhn!)

Just because I love these little teases, here's what currently on my screen:

Thanks for all the comments. Some more thoughts and answers: Custom Content: It sounds like the global directory remains the way to go. I'll try to make sure this works well. Level/Dialog Limits: Levels are 99, Dialogs are 999... more than enough. :) Availability: Several of you have raised good poi...

Hi all, I've been very quiet on the editor front, so I wanted to give you a little heads up of what to expect. I'm been making very little headway on major changes in the way the editor functions. Truth is, it's too much of a cobbled mess of code over the past 7 years to make many more changes. The ...

Oh, definitely don't get too excited!!

Hi Blaze, I appreciate your letter and formal request. Unfortunately I have to decline the request to include wg.exe in your package at this point. I know it's not ideal, but I don't quite see the problem in asking a user to simply copy their wg.exe from POTZ to your game?? Yes, it would be a neater...

Issue #25 is now online, newsletter etc will follow.

Glad it got worked out. There should be no reason it shouldn't work (other than video card drivers that are not up to date or non-standard installations).

It's coming... just haven't had time to put it all together. I'd say within a week.

BMT Micro offers all games with a "games on CD" option.

(but it's not like the Game Collection CD that comes with extra material etc)

Yes, in fact I just had an email exchange with Chuck (Sommerville), and there will be a mention of it in the Midnight Post (yes, it's late... hopefully next weekend).

Yes, those are just gems - not needed other than for score. I made sure that no coins would be lost, because without those you can't get every star.

Muzo, dig is not playing this in game, I think dig is poking around and getting into the levels in a roundabout way (althugh I'm not sure how)... so he wouldn't have seen the sign. And dig... (and anyone else)... you do risk ruining some surprises if you dig (haha!) around in the files to look for s...

Guys, this whole beta testing discussion needs to stop. If you have any actual complaints about the game, feel free to raise them toward me - not a group of people who worked very hard, put in far more time than I ever asked them to, and made the game 500% better than it would have been without thei...

Yo... beta testers... enough with the hinting. (it's pointless anyways right now, ain't it?)

Rainbow bubbles behave like floating Scritters... you can "herd" them the same way. Sometimes you need to think about what direction to approach them from to get them where you want them to be.

Congratulations on getting this far so quick! I suppose you didn't sleep that much these days? ;) About the final secret - perhaps the Beta Testers know something, perhaps not. But, if they do, they would have been sworn to secrecy... In the interest of your sanity, I will give you one tiny little h...

Sounds like a browser problem to me. Which one are you using (IE, Firefox, Chrome...?). If you have a 2nd one installed, try copying the link from the email into that browser instead.

Yes, of course - video solutions, walkthroughs and "let's play" videos have become a tradition with all the Wonderland games.

I have some video solutions ready (as you know) that I will be uploading soon.

If your PC shutdown on you, that might be the issue. Maybe something was in the middle of saving when it turned off. Go to the WAPOTZ User file directory and delete the global.wdf and display.wdf file. That should reset the game to its default on the next startup.

Not only is today the release of WA3, it is also Stinky and Loof 11th Birthday. They'll be teenagers soon - yikes!


A player "Nikias" had emailed me this picture, I'm sharing (with permission).

Happy Birthday!

Facebook? Yes, definitely, eventually - but don't ask me when. I'm still (almost literally) trying to figure out the phones around here.

Thanks to the suggestion here: http://pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25025 we now come crawling out of our pre-social-networking stage and have started a Twitter account. It's not much, still figuring out how this works, but it's a start. ;) Tweets shall be tweeted! (does that make me a twit??) ...

As the some of the world wakes up to October 24th, 2013 (while some other places are still saying good night to Oct 23rd), it's time to tell you a little story about Wonderland and some pesky Z-Bots: http://www.midnightsynergy.com/adventures3 Shout it from the rooftops!
