Pico Day leftovers

Oh boy what a day.

For me, it started at around 9AM, after a good 3 hours sleep. I got up and got back to work on the game. UltraPitchfork finished his work by noon and I integrated everything and coded what was left. Then I spent a few hours testing with Hopeku and fixing minor bugs. When I was sure everything was perfect, I made a final export (tested it again) and then uploaded it on Newgrounds

Then everything started fucking up. I found the issue thanks to a PM from Makarov73. I won't explain in depth but it turns out the issue was in my document's main class; there was a line of code that interfered with Newgrounds' embed code (from what I understand). Since there was an error in the code that ran initially, everything below that line (the preloader) wouldn't work. I finally re-did the preloader and re-submitted.

Now the medals. The medal API has just been translated to AS3 and hadn't been tested on Newgrounds yet. Turns out there was a little glitch that caused it not to detect the user's log-in status, but, thankfully, Mike sent me a working version of the API and Tom activated the medals for my submission. I'm really really sorry for those of you who beat the game and didn't get the medal!

So anyway, the game is finally up and running. All that matters is that people seem to like it very much. UPF and I spent a lot of time on this project (especially in the last few days...) and we really appreciate the comments we've gotten so far. Special thanks to Mike & Tom for helping me throughout the day!

Awesome game dude, can really see the effort put into it. It's a very challenging game but feels alot like a console shooter. Once again top marks guys!

I can't figure out how to get the meat is murder medal.

Superb game fellow Canuckers! Par excellent eh! But as a fellow game programmer/animator I found a lil' error. Generally, in level three or four, when taking the elevator down, I found in two instances where the elevator failed to stop at the desired level (it went on to cyber infinity). Maybe something to do with Safari, but I thought it strange and worth mentioning. Hey, a big-time congrats on the Pico award; u guys deserve it! And, I guess, look out for some of my stuff later.

MARIOMASTER123123123 2009-05-08 16:22:57

Well yeah that game totally fun, i finally got every medal
it took like 5 or 4 days just to get the medals

oh and when i playied the game (when it didn't have medals), i finish it and when you put the medals, i started in the last level and got the polyginal victory when i was in the last level

you understand?
anyways nice work ;D

Joelasticot 2009-05-08 16:22:57

Yeah, I have no problem with you doing that either; since you beat the game, you deserved the medal!

GoddaM 2009-05-15 20:18:09

sorry buddy, there's only one GoddaM and you're looking at it...as a matter of fact, if you don't change that I may make you a personal project of mine.

UltraPitchFork 2009-05-16 10:22:51

sorry buddy, there's only one Ultrapitchfork and you're looking at it...as a matter of fact, if you don't change that I may make you a personal turd of glory of mine.

Joelasticot 2009-05-16 10:22:51

Cute idea, but I would appreciate some advance warning, and a GAME would be better.

Oh yes, and I have NOTHING to do with this.

I am not the Turtler you are looking for.

All complaints are to be directed towards Joelasticot.

THANK YOU.

Oh yes, and anybody actually thought of actually using the premise for a REAL game?

rockyace42 2009-05-16 19:27:43

It was a pretty fun game.... but to tell you the truth I thought it could've easily been made without Pico and the gang... Did you originally plan it for Pico Day, or just alter the artwork once you heard about it?

Either way, a really fun game :)

Joelasticot 2009-05-16 19:27:43

Yeah, in fact we were having trouble working seriously on something, so I suggested UPF that we make something for Pico day. We then put together a few ideas of things that we thought would be cool, like conveyor belts, the train levels and the kid violence. But the game, from day 1, was meant for Pico day :)

Glad you liked it!
