It’s an extremely simple game, but it was a bit of fun to replay to see it all. I enjoyed the insults.

Now I’m off to read the interview.

This is an interesting experiment, and one I’ve been playing around with for a while.

I tried designing something like this once, but I can’t seem to get find a proper way to offer puzzle solutions WITHOUT also confusing the hell out of the player. Although I have a very, very small idea which I just realised and must go try out! Egad!

Does Kobayashi-Maru-ing it count?

Yup, that’s a known bug, and it’s a glitch in the engine, or so I’m told.

Also, there are a total of four ways to get your GameBot back.

Nice interview too. I liked it – nice to see what’s going on in another artist’s mind.

I know, i’m such a pain in the ass. how many ways are there to beat this game? I found 3 so far…

Cool game. I’m not sure how much is the engine and how much is you, but the interface is pretty sweet too.

I think I discoverd a bug though – if you click around the screen a lot at the very beginning, before Morgan comes to take your Gamebot, you’ll move and she’ll never come.

You only need Flash to publish the actual game data. You can make your graphics and sprites any other way that can save as a SWF, but the game data compiles as an action script text file that needs to be published by Flash. It’s actually very easy. Within the game editor you press a button that says “Export for Action Script”. You then load a file that comes with the editor called “_data.fla” in Flash, hit the publish button, and it’s done. You don’t have to learn much of the actual Flash application at all.

Thanks for letting me know. Moho exports swfs, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t publish fla files. I’ll investigate some alternatives, as I’ve always found Flash to be the way that madness lies. Cheers.
