Suspiciious.zip

This game is both my love letter to Delciious, the game that kickstarted my activity here, and a love letter to GT itself. I probably wouldn't even be making games like this without this site. I love all of you. I am the secret santa to everyone this year.

Merry Chistmas.

2018 Extra Notes: Things aren't entirely clear here RE: controls. If the screen ain't moving from what it's on, try clicking the mouse. On the battle screen, use Z to shoot (why I never tell you this in game, I don't know.) In my recent playthrough of this, the "Shoot the Big One!" message appears before you're actually able to do so; you need a score of 200 or so in order to do so. Basically just hold Z and hammer X until it actually shoots the Big One. Then clickaroo on the 100 and you're through to the next round, baby.

Hello all!

I'm Ben and I'm a freelance designer. I've mostly worked for Dan Marshall's Size Five Games, specifically on Ben There, Dan That! and Time Gentlemen, Please!

As Dan and I have mentioned in a few interviews, we started designing games as teenagers on KnP and GF. People have shown interest in seeing these old, terrible games of ours, so I dug out the floppies. One of them was a one-disk game and easy to sort out (free download here: http://www.sizefivegames.com/forum/index.php?topic=4182.0). Unfortunately, most of them are multi-disk games and for various reasons I am now stuck with copies of each disk on my laptop hard-drive but no floppy disk drive. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit without the option to run XP mode.

I've managed to turn the contents of each disk into .iso image files. As far as I can tell, I need to:

1) create a virtual floppy drive
2) run Win 3.1 in DOSbox and use the vfd software to start the install process on the first disk image then swap between the disk images as the install program demands
3) once the game is installed, either play the game straight away or install KnP and then play the game through that.

After spending an afternoon fighting with Virtual Floppy Drive, I've given up on it. A couple of guys from different forums, noyb and RobF (don't know if they're called the same here) recommended I try these forums. RobF also linked me to a guide here on getting 3.1 running through DOSbox.

Does this sound the correct way to go about it? Anyone able to recommend another bit of freeware or option for creating a vfd rather than VFD? Not having a floppy drive OR the correct version of Windows seems to be a hurdle too far to get this to happen.

Thanks!

change jumping and landing sounds to hourse sounds?
maybe put something else where the haiku is. probably whatever else is given after this version has been posted
maybe i'll add a title screen with instructions on how to press 'r' to go back to the main level. or i might just have a platform where you start with 3d text that you fall into the main level from.

i will include a credit sheet that points out who did what, but here's who contributed from this site:

Of course, compared to the KotMK, the time is out and out leisurely! Still some interesting thoughts.

Man, I gotta start getting more into the rest of the modern super-indy scene.

we didn't do sekret santa last year cause "we forgot" and this year it falls unto me. Welcome back to "THE RETURN OF" Glorious Trainwrecks Sekret Satan 2023!

This year I'd like to start by addressing a query people have asked about the Sekret Santa event, because it seems a lot of you had this concern:

Q. I haven't finished a previous year's Sekret Santa, is it still okay for me to enter again this year?
A. It IS okay! please do not feel bad about entering Sekret Santa even if you couldn't finish a previous one.

We're all doing this for free, and it seems unreasonable to force someone to finish an overdue assignment without pay. this is meant to be fun, not a job.

if you didn't finish an old santa, then that is what happened and we must simply move on and accept it.

"ALL DEBTS ARE FORGIVEN"

I used to have a recurring nightmare where my teachers tracked me down and forced me to do all the homework I never completed. Let's not make that nightmare a reality.

Onward!

The Instructions:

Step 1: Post your list in the comments below. A short list of what you want your game to include. There are a few additional constraints to this this year, (see below)

Step 2: On 8 December, You will be told your recipient, and you will be tasked with making a game for them. You will also be invited to one of two discord servers where you can talk about developing your project without your recipient knowing! unless I forget this part! it's my first year running this

Step 3: Then you will submit your games before the soft deadline of 5th january OR ANY TIME AFTER!! I'm not the boss of you!

Additional Constraints on lists:

I noticed in recent years lists were frequently becoming longer, more complicated, and highly specific. people were treating the list like they were commissioning a specific dream game, which is not how we want this to work, or fun for the list's recipient to make something that might be out of their abilities to actually make.

Instead of enforcing rules on how much you're allowed to request, I instead wanted to just make people aware of this and determine the fairness and length of their list using their own intuition. (recommended about 4, 5, or 6 bullet points)

try and avoid requesting a specific genre, and remember to allow your recipient to play fast and loose with what you put on your list. it's their game, and you may be surprised by the end result not resembling what you had in mind! that's part of the fun!

Good luck!!!

eat the poison final build 3.swf

BOSS WAXMAN HAS DISSAPPEARED AND YOU NEED TO FIND THE FIVE PIECES OF THE GOLDEN HORN TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM DOOM

controls are on the gamejolt page

you will get stuck, which is why there is the restart from checkpoint in the menu that's opened up by pressing escape

this is bloated and buggy and i don't expect anyone to like it, but at least i achieved my goal of making a bigger game, as this is bigger than anything i've done before
