Great stuff!! Sounds epic - I loved TTD, even though it took me months of gradual persistence and revisitation to complete, the look and vibe was too much to resist... {yolkfolk}:dizzy:

Just added a couple of (small) features into ETD that have never been done before...
Even the Beta-testers haven't seen them yet :tongue:
oooh long time since I last posted in here!
Anyway, I've renamed Dizzy Legends Chapter 3: Return of the Righteous. It's now called:
Dizzy Legends Chapter 3: Silence of The Storm
:wink:

Good, wasn't keen on the other title anyway.
Didn't we have a topic about what to call it??

Neither was I, and I don't think so.
I think I'll just leave this little thing here... :wink:

Looks really nice :smile: When is it likely to be up? I'm asking because I'm publishing this month's newsletter on Xmas Eve.
*Should* be before then. It's only a little thing.
I've wondered for a while whether it would be possible to contain an entire game in one room, and was just waiting for inspiration to hit. So this game, although only having the one room, will have a decent number of puzzles.

Sounds like an interesting idea!! :cool:
First job must be to get a fire going in the grate, otherwise it must be freezing in there!
Looking forward to it as usual Delta!

Thanks! There is, as usual, a couple of new bits of coding, but they're mainly just small effects.
Story:
Dizzy and the Yolkfolk are sheltering from the winter snow and cold in their log cabin. Unfortunately there's no fire going, and Pogie is sitting on the logs!
Help Dizzy to keep the Yolkfolk warm and get the fire lit before they freeze to death!
Something like that anyway.
As it's just one room, You'll not be needing any save games will you?
And what's that? You'll only need one inventory slot too? Oh that's lucky! :wink:

Well I like it, so you'll have to get used to it!
It's finished, I just have to test it now. :smile:
EDIT:: hmmm, some very odd things going on with how objects are actioned. {yolkfolk}:scratch:

AARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
How the BLOODY HELL can the following code change the status to 5 WITHOUT SHOWING THE BLOODY MESSAGE?!?!
if(ObjGet(idx,O_STATUS)==0)
{
Message0(9,7,"THE CUPBOARDnIS LOCKED");
MessagePop();
ObjSet(idx,O_STATUS,5);
}
Because that is exactly what it is doing.
EDIT:: dammit dammit I found the issue. Another bit of code was using that same ID when it shouldn't have been, changing it. That got me rather annoyed.
Where is it being called from? Is it in game.gs?
Have you tried calling it from a ScrRequest?

It's ok, I found the problem. Simple conflict of IDs, that was all.
What made me think it was more than it was is that I've changed the inventory system a bit in this game, and I thought that might have been messing with it somehow.

not quite... :wink:
Oi! I haven't even got a quarter of the way through doing SoTS yet!
I've made a short video of three things I worked on until I stopped 18 months ago. I thought some of you may like to see them. Please note, I currently have no plans to finish any of these.
The first is... interesting.
The second is a 'planet' from the game 'Galaxy Bound Dizzy' which I started drawing the map of years ago, before I canned the thing. That particular planet was to be a 'giant' world, as you'll see. There were other planets too, but they were just outlined really, nothing too interesting.
The third is SoTS, except for some reason the video quality is really bad. The tiles are a lot more detailed, as you can see in the screenshot below the video.
