Since it seems to be the thing to do, I started my own dizzy game! {yolkfolk}:music:

not sure if it will be ready for the compo. got to get my head around the coding {yolkfolk}:scratch:

the map is about 80% complete and 2% code is done

story :-
It seems that the spirits are angry that developers are removing resources from the volcanic island of Ovum.
The volcano is in imminent danger of erupution. Dizzy has been called in to rescue the inhabitance of the island, before this happens! F.A.B!

Wow!...another one in the making,...we're really getting spoiled for dizzy games lately.

That machine in the first pic looks great,..that was very cleverly done!
And awesome detail in the jungle screen.

Good luck with the coding and I look forward to the finished game.

If all goes well, I hope to have a beta version ready at the weekend.
adz.m / TF / xelanoimis are you willing to test it?

Wow, that's great!

I'd like to help with the beta, but not this weekend.
I must prepare the DizzyAGE v2.2 release (and other TOS tasks...)

Are you using the engine v2.2 beta?
If not, I can convert your game for you, before your betatesting.
It will not take long. Just send it to me this evening or when you're ready,
and I'll upgrade it and send it back to you.
Then, the other betatesters will get to test your game directly on the upcomming v2.2.
If you already upgraded it yourself, send it to the betatesters directly.

I'll also have a look at it, giving you advice and stuff, but only next week,
or latest the next weekend.

We'll talk about it. You have my email on the DizzyAGE website.

Good luck!
Alex

That's great!

Yes, I upgraded it to run on the 2.2b engine, when you released it. I think I did everything right, it's working!

Hee!Hee! yup
I sent an alpha copy to Jamie, so he could help me with some rough edges!
I hope to have the beta version for the testers, later on sunday evening (all being well)

I'm running through a nice big long list of fixes at the moment

wow that's a great game! will have people puzzling for quite a while. :smile:

i'll have to really raise my game when i do IID...

colin, i've just sent you a load more feedback, but considering you've never used DizzyAGE before, i think you've got to grips with it extremely well. it's better than the first game i made in pretty much every respect. in fact, i'd go as far as to say it's probably one of the best DizzyAGE games there is.

thank you Jamie
high praise indeed, considering all the mistakes I made!
I just hope it can compare in someway to yours

The beta is delayed to possibly tomorrow or tuesday
I think all the fixes are done. I just want to add and change a couple of bits!
