Hammerkind (game: fight, build, climb) I need testers for offline 2player mode!

[Cleptomanic]

Can you just upload a download with a bug fix? I wanna play this and shit is taking forever!

[Someoneman]

I want to play this, but the link doesn't work.

Ah, oops! I forgot to renew my domain name. Which is silly, because it's free with my hosting, which I did renew. Should be back online soon.

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

Good news: I might have finally figured out how to fix that "error reading real" bug!
Bad news: This has taken me about a year longer than it should have

Good news: I am finally working on the actual-final update, with a some minor features and fixes and improvements that I meant to do a year ago
Bad news: I haven't actually read homestuck for the last year, so, uh, that's that.

Good news: Once I finish this update, I'll get to work on the mac port! If anyone cares anymore :P

I need some people who get that "error reading real" bug to PM me! I'll give you a new version of the Hammerkind exe, and you can help me figure out if I've actually solved this problem or not.

[Stephen]

So I've had one person so far try and say the bug is fixed (thank you, youdont12know)! That's excellent news, but I'd still love for at least one more person to check it out! All you've gotta do is, if you get the "error reading real" bug, PM me, and I'll send you a (hopefully) fixed version of the game, a week before everyone else gets it.

[Anthiena]

Awesome stuff, forumer! 33 forever!

[Chair_Man]

tentacleTherapist: John you must scale this structure without delay.
ectoBiologist: Can't, having too much fun strifing imps!

I can't remember the last time I so enjoyed having my screen covered with black ink.
Actually I can- it is just inappropriate to discuss.

[Stephen]

Haha, thanks guys!

Latest news: I'm working on some improvements for the 2-player mode, where one person controls Rose with the mouse and builds, the other controls John like in 1-player mode. Mostly, I'm making it harder, since it otherwise could be used as a sort of cheat. Can anyone volunteer to test this for me? You'd need to have a friend/sibling/lover/hostage who can play with you! I've asked a few of my old Beta testers, and they couldn't get that setup going. I need feedback, since I'm too familiar with the game myself to tell whether it's too difficult or too easy!

This should be the last little thing before I release this FINAL patch to the game, and start working FINALLY on the mac port! Which will be nice. Sorry as always, Mac users, that I never got around to doing the port last year when I made this!

[Hydrothermal]

I might be able to help test the 2-player mode!

[Stephen]

I might be able to help test the 2-player mode!

Excellent! I'll send you a PM once I get a test copy of the game ready.

I'll want multiple opinions of this, so anybody else, please feel free to PM me!

Stupid difficulty: It's definitively maybe possible.

Did it. With the default costume, I must add.

[WeaselExorcist]

this looks awesome. i downloaded it. going to try it

[SuperPsyhic]

Stupid difficulty: It's definitively maybe possible.

Stupid mode IS quite challenging, With the whole jumping and sliding physics and all that. It takes paitence and ALL THE LUCK A good bit of luck.
I think it took me like four tries to beat it with the regular costume.

[unvoicedAspiration]

Would this two-player mode be using shared-computer or networked-play?

[Stephen]

Those of you saying you beat Stupid mode: did you do so with Automatic building, or with mouse-controlled building? (The latter is currently, well, too easy, and that's one of the things the upcoming update is meant to fix.)

Would this two-player mode be using shared-computer or networked-play?

Shared computer. I know how fun online play would be, but network code is entirely out of my league, sorry.

----
Anyway, the update should still be coming soon! I'm waiting on feedback from some testers and have a few more changes to make.

(And I'd still like even more testers for two-player mode (if you have two people wanting to play at the same computer) and another person to confirm whether my attempt at an "error reading real" bugfix works (if that is a problem you have).)

[Dr. Polock]

This looks very interesting. I hope to see more characters as the game expands. (Which might change the name to... I dunno HOMESTUCK The Game?)

[SuperPsyhic]

I beat it with both, the automatic costing me almost all of my patience. The thing is, I actually unlocked the mouse controlled building when I was playing Stupid Mode.

[Dödel]

This looks so beautiful... I'm waiting for the fixed update.

[youdont12know]

I once again wish to help making this game better.

[temporalTrickster]

Automatic.

[zimzap]

I'm past the seventh gate, trickster john is floating above me, and grist is falling from the sky. What do I do now?

[Varkarrus]

kill trickster john. Theres a reason why you can throw hammers upwards.

[SuperPsyhic]

I have a question regarding the Magnet-sheet looking item, Does it attract Grist towards you? Because whenever I grab it I think I see the grist moving towards John but I'm not sure...

"ERROR in

for object menu_main:

Error reading real."

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Q.Q

[simon.clarkstone]

Your region settings probably use "," as a decimal separator. Currently I think they have to be set to use "." instead.

You can become a tester of a potentially-fixed version if you look a few posts up.
