Tess

I've been working on the light engine for Tess 2 a bit. Note that these maps/gifs are just for demonstration purposes, as the old maps won't appear in Tess 2 at all.

I saw your Tumblr post on that. I look forward to playing it, it looks like it'll be a fun time. Keep up the good work!

 

You game is... is........ BEATIFUL AND AWESOME *O*

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

FYI there might be a bump up in development on Tess 2 in the following weeks/months.

 

I learned how to make the playback speed for music and sfx variable (might be useful later).

 

P.S. Why is unluckyrabbit.ogg from Rip in the game-files? AFAIK it's not used in-game.

Did you play the tutorial? Its music track is called "Tale of the Unlucky Rabbit", which sounds like the file you are referring to. The tutorial is optional from the getgo, so you may not have heard it because you skipped it. I'm not in a place where I can verify what that file is though. (On mobile)

 

Oh I'm sorry. Pardon my inability to read posts.

 

I was being sincere. The cause of the misunderstanding would most likely be due to lack of sleep but...that shouldn't excuse anything.

I must have forgotten to take it out of the folder when making the game. I'm surprised that's gone unnoticed for this long.

 

What did you use to edit the scripts in Tess/Rip?

Notepad. But they're compiled into a condensed format with a special program that Noxid and I wrote.

 

Can you un-condense them?

It probably wouldn't be hard to write a decompiler for them, since it's a pretty simple format. But I don't really have any reason to, as I have the source files.

If you're curious, here's a sample of the script used in the house:

If you keep the new string/text the same length as the original, it should work fine.
