Tempest Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 "Nearly completed" is a broad term. Yes, the proto probably contains all major elements, but it almost completely lacks polishing. Which is a major part of development, which is way underestimated very often. IMO its about 50% complete. We'll have to agree to disagree on our definitions. To me polish is the last 10%-15%. The game is completely playable and looks damn good, so to me it's around 90% (maybe 85% because of that fast scroll bug). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 OK, let's say 50% work done, but looking 90% complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Lover Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for those updated prototype overviews. I enjoy it when you update the page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I made a small update to the Elf Adventure page. Turns out there are two other earlier versions out there, but we can only get one of the roms to work. The other appears to be a bad dump.

Zarek Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is excellent There's something mysterious about prototypes that makes them so enthralling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I made a small update to the Elf Adventure page. Something's off with the formatting one some of the pages. The Main page and Pink Panther aren't wrapping text to fit the page so they end up with a scroll bar at the bottom: Elf Adventure and the few others I checked all correctly wrap the text. I normally use Safari but also saw the problem when using Chrome and Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Are they doing that again? It's because I'm using a different HTML editor. I'll look into it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I see three instances of a width set to 1118.05px, that's probably the source of the problem. They're for the detail of the 9/17/14, 7/30/14 and 7/17/14 updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
