hiya,

apologies for shilling commercial stuff here but i figured this would be appropriate epilogue to marker games: i finally got around to compiling them and putting together a commerce pack (PC only at the moment, but i plan to buy the html5 exporter with monies from this version). it's at my website here http://harmonyzone.org/50SHORTGAMES.html .
The idea of MONETIZE THE PIRATE KART is kind of a dubious achievement but oh well. i really liked making all the games n hope to go back to releasing semi regular things here at some point n hope maybe the idea of weird commercial compilation loaders for trainwreck games catches on. i love multicarts and scrappy stuff so anything that encourages it seems ok to me.

hope ya have a good year in 2014,
stephen XOXOXO

A fantastic compilation. I greatly appreciated being able to read your notes, and I loved the launcher's 3D recreations of scenes from the games, as well as the incredibly spooky ending bit. Thanks for the extra effort you've put into compiling these... I surely feel as if I have received my money's worth and certainly not been conned in any way!

Pedant mode: the readme file just says "Games created in Fusion 2 Developer Edition. Loader created in Unity." You might consider revising this to mention the one exception, Mashkin Sees It Through, if you can be bothered. Perhaps you could also replace 'Untitled Story' in the Twine file with the actual title while you're at it, to further justify the virtually needless creation of a new 117MB archive.

Ooh, good catch. I'll upload

Ooh, good catch. I'll upload a new build tonight and put a correction on my website.

I sort of like having it be the twine default name, tho... keeps it "real" ha ha ha :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

I am glad you liked the loader :)

Ahh, wonderful compilation!

Ahh, wonderful compilation! Finally, anybody* can give thecatamites some well deserved fun bucks, AND play all of their games** in one place***! But, wait, I hear the crows of dissent in the background- what's that? You don't know what a game is? You don't know what a thecatamites is? You don't want to know what both of them together taste like?

Well in the opposite of that case, you can find out the answers to neither for free- look at games submitted by thecatamites, and download some at random to play for a short amount of time before being swayed into purchasing the compilation for yourself as well as every dog in your neighbourhood. Not sold yet? Well keep reading... at your own risk!!

Did you know people who read my inane comments feel 100% less happy than the average person who buys games for their dogs? Well, know you now! Whether that influences your choices today or not, let it stand that I do not let anybody stand for too long cause their legs might get sore and they could fall down because of that weird feeling you get in your veins.

* with at least €4 to spare

** excluding all games not in this compilation

*** you can play the games one by one if you like really want to

So great It's very enjoyable

So great
It's very enjoyable to read your notes after all this time spent playing the short games and speculating about the background / conditions behind them
