Okay, I wanted to check if the money amounts that the enemies come in by was okay - so I played Dragon Defense a few times  big_smile

What we currently have:

Peasant - always
Archer - >130
Knight - >250
Wizard - >500
Witch - >500
Dragonslayer - >800
Emperor - >2000

That just isn't liveable... first of all, you get killed after only a few hundred gold. We should raise the health to 1000. And even with that, I only scored 685 gold. I didn't even get to the Dragonslayer... I propose reducing the numbers:

Peasant - always
Archer - >100
Knight - >200
Wizard - >350
Witch - >350
Dragonslayer - >500
Emperor - >750

And even with the reduced numbers (and the 1000 health), I only got 505 gold - just enough for the Dragonslayer.

It's too hard... or am I just lousy?  tongue

Reduceing the numbers would make it harder...You have to buy upgrades. Hmmm. Lets make each person worth more, and the health at 1000(10* current.)

Where is the newest version?

Uh, okay... but the enemies need to be 'unlocked' quickly or people will stop playing before they get anywhere.

And the latest version: here Get the squiggle in and submit the project ASAP - we don't have long. It's already the ninth in New Zealand  tongue

Also, remeber that we will have time after the first submission to change it a bit.

Yes, but we do need to submit something for the challenge QUICK

Add the squiggle and submit it ASAP QUICK!!!  neutral

Yeah, that would be very useful... the game is too hard right now  tongue

Re: Teh Saintly Collab Team

To be honest I think we need to up the quality some...

- Variables need to hide when the game starts (just use Show and Hide variable blocks)
- The Credits button needs to hide when the game starts
- The menu looks rather patchy; maybe the button should be spaced a bit more
- There should be Back buttons in the menus
- The text in the menus needs work; missing spaces, some letters should be lowercased, and so on
- Squiggles in the tutorial are placed badly
- Upgrade icons look odd
- Overall quality looks a bit low  sad

Picky picky...

Re: Teh Saintly Collab Team

Could I please do a quick update? Nothing major, just minor fixes and such.
...
Can we pweeze use sprites instead of variables for the displays? Using variables is cheap, unoriginal and dull. Sprite displays look better than variable ones anyway...

Did you compose it yourself, or did you find it from somewhere? If you took it from somewhere else, we'll need to give appropriate credit  wink

Re: Teh Saintly Collab Team

Done - project

I revised the project notes; now they look like they were from all of us instead of just TheSaint - you know, I replaced 'I' with 'we' for example.

Besides that, some slight revisions to the actual project... nothing major though. I would have done a back button for the tutorial and credits page, but as I don't have the correct font for the buttons, I thought it best to let someone else do it...

Maybe we should 'trace' over all text in the paint editor? That way Dragon Defense won't require any installed fonts. (I hope you know what I mean  tongue )
...
Should we make a to-do list of things to work on? It might help us and ensure that we don't forget anything  tongue

One last thing - we're still linking to TheSaint's version of Dragon Defense (which is outdated) in our signatures. Should we continuously replace the links, or should we remove them (so it's just the picture)?

You guys do realize that I take your updates, and then re-upload to the same project so that the scratch team sees it? His may have been uploaded later, but I go through and update my project with your revisions...

Anyways, if someone wants to trace the text, by all means go ahead. Good luck with that five hour project...

So, someone needs to convert the health+Money into sprites, not display.
