And if people would like to report the Tim account on YouTube that keeps commenting on how great Kieren's videos are.

The Tim account is just a spam bot, I've seen comments on my videos and other accounts too.

why he and DCRip were acting like kids

The real reason why blue smarties was banned from the UK?

"I suggest looking at the @leefogarty account for a start"

 

Are Hitler and Stalin working together or is one just sticking his dick in the other's bucket?

 

Oh and I wasn't asking you Stalin, so don't bother replying.

As for running out the door.. HA! I (and my fiancee and both kids) were on our way out for food and going out to get eats.  I recognised Felice, and as I got closer saw Kieren was stopped talking to him (looking a little shell shocked), I tapped Felice on the shoulder and said "Hi" as we walked past.. why didn't I stop and pull Kieren up on his bullshit lies? Well a couple of things, I don't drag my kids and family into things, I certainly don't shield my actions with them, and we were hungry, and frankly Kieren, you're not worth the wasted breath.

Yes, I remember you telling me that at the same event (Play Manchester - GMEX) and you left before I did around 4pm/5pm.

 

[edit]:
I also recall we were talking to Tim from the Indie dev group after you told me that.

 

I just checked with my OH and she confirmed (my memory is a little hazy at times but I do remember the above).

 

So the below is fucking bollocks

It works now!

I removed the equ and put the Line_test in RAM space!

 

Thanks.

[Moving line - Emulator Discrepancies]

I'm trying to program a moving line effect that I seem to have gotten working thanks to Vide but opening it in Para JVE just draws the line as is rather than in the below example:

 

Vide:

Code used + Para JVE screenshot:

https://t.co/BQoHme98Uc

 

Would the code I wrote work on a Vectrex like Vide or like Para JVE?

 

[Edit]: I've also noticed that the moving line code I wrote reaches the end of the screen just after the intro bit ends i.e. instead of intro then moving line goes from 2 to the end of the screen, the moving line is already near the end of the screen after the intro. So how would I delay the moving line code from running until after the intro sequence ends?

 

Thanks.

[The E.T. Remake Has Arrived]

Version 1.2 finally released with the above added, music added and an annoying bug that crippled the game on start fixed!

 

Currently (as of writing this at 2:27 GMT) my host is being shit so you may have to wait to download it.

[The E.T. Remake Has Arrived]

Version 1.2 of ET Remake on the way

Added:

- version number added to the window title

- added instructions screens

- added hole drop sound

- added reese's pieces pickup sound

Currently working on the music and I've just installed a VM with Slackware and compiled the program and it's running great. So I'm now looking at possibly setting up a MacOS VM.

[The E.T. Remake Has Arrived]

No, this is not a joke.

 

I've been developing this on and off for the past 8 years and I finally released it last month. I decided to do it because I was doing a remakes competition and I wanted to do something other than the obvious. Unfortunately I never finished it in time for the competition but I carried on with the game anyway.

 

There is still some work to add in (like more sound fx, and music etc) which will be added as I'm in post-release bug fixing mode and those bugs that I intend to fix are listed on the website and in the readme file. I've already updated the game to version 1.1 a few days ago.

 

For the most part the main aim of the game has not been changed, as there was nothing wrong with it, but you will see that there are no visible holes. They are there you just need to find them, with the help of the indicator at the bottom left of the screen. If it shows fauna, then no hole. Otherwise there'll be a hole with a question mark (not visited) or a hole with a cross (visited).
