Got V0.19 now, no major changes I can tell but it runs much much better now, and you can hold the arrow key to walk. Also the 2.6 is 2.12.

That was in v.0.10, too.

I have also seen three others, though one was just jumping around the map erratically, and the others weren't moving.

K', aiming for a wild guess, but I'm thinking those are possible NPC characters. Can't really tell much, but I think there's going to be a giant eyeball boss at one point of the game, sorta like the core. Wild guess though, and that being made from one of the vague shapes in the upper right corner.

Knowing what he's done before, I eagerly look forward to this.

Now I'm playing adventure. With lots of dragons and a tileset.

And Japanese, but what is it?

Plenty of neat improvments, but it hangs SO much more for me now :[

is there any way to retaliate yet?

Another update to download. I don't see anything different other than some little map changes.

Re: I think Pixel is making a new game.

Managed to find the sword, and the game seems to end there.

Press z to duplicate yourself into npcs in the first room. You'll need these guys to attract enemies away from you. They don't follow you, but their movements seem to have some sort of AI.

Also there's a number, 2.27, spelled out using tiles, in one of the rooms. Could that mean anything?

I noticed random NPCs of myself appearing in different areas, but I didn't know I spawned them...
Their AI and the enemy's seems to be a little lacking, though.

Are you sure about the duplicating thing? They could be just other players.
And, this new version didn't give me near so many problems as the previous one. I was able to make it to the sword without crashing. Also there were a lot more dead bodies, but I suppose that's just from being played longer.

The numbers are the date of the version's release, feb.27

Well, the other players were able to walk through enemies without dying. I can't do that with my own character.

Re: I think Pixel is making a new game.

So yeah, I found the sword because I followed some yellow player to it.

This seems to being going somewhere fairly quickly.

No one can. Those are other players.

Re: I think Pixel is making a new game.

Yes, I was mistaken. The first room is just the spawning room for new players.

I'm pretty sure they are players, since this is supposed to be online multiplayer or something. I started walking around in circles and another player copied my movements. Then he got bored and walked off. Definitely not an NPC.

Probably everyone has their own enemies. For example, if an enemy is blocking my way, another player will be able to walk through it since he doesn't have the same enemy on the map, and he can't see my enemies.

No matter what, players will always attract enemies, even if they belong to another player.

Alot of improvement since v0.010, eh? =D

We should get a group of people to spell out We <3 Pixel on the first screen, eh?


I think that the pic on the site is a to do list:

things left to do are unfilled circles, things done are fillled circles.

so: done:
Internal player list
Player I/O between player and server (2 circles)


to do: (from left to right)
Single Player mode
option to play single player
ability to view player list
player to player interaction
Idle or sleep mode for afk players
stats page
i/o between a website and the stats page.

current objects:
block, enemy, sword


This is all speculation.
