  • The problem with pay-what-you-want is if we don't have major upgrades, we're effectively granting infinite licenses that last forever for all versions of the software. That's not really sustainable - even traditional licensing generally asks you to pay again at the next major version.

    Once we have layer effects and the equivalent of 'force own texture', you should be able to do that by having the green object on a layer below.

    1. Yep

    2. How do you mean?

    3. Right now yes, although the standards can and do change, and if WebGL takes off it supports shaders to the same extent the 0.x runtime does.

    How about just using a big black sprite with a transparent hole in the middle using alpha? You can't use multiply, so I don't think you can get the same lighting-up flash when a ghost is hit. You could just about do it with subtract, but that's not supported by canvas

  • I think the only difference is that the timedelta is still affected by the timescale, so you can pause/slo-mo your game still.

  • What if someone was still using the earlier open-source SourceForge builds?

    Before long those builds will be so far behind that they're not remotely useful. You won't be able to make anything complicated, certainly not sellable, with them!

  • Layers are 0-based, so layer 1 really means the second layer, and you've only got one layer. Change it to create on layer 0 and it works.

  • The alpha early-adopter licenses are marked down considerably to reflect the fact it's an early stage. Also, I repeat the point: assuming we release regularly enough, which we plan on doing, testers get to use the fully-featured software indefinitely for free. What more can we do? Should we pay them to test it for us when we have no money?? I can't see what more we could offer or do for our users. Obviously the transition to free + open source to closed and licensed is a painful one. But I think we've gone out of our way to offer good deals despite this. Can you describe what's unfair about the deal so far and what would be a fairer deal?

  • On another note, will testers be able to sell games made with the most current release?

    I think the test builds should not be for commercial use - testing purposes only. I think it's fair if you sell a game, you buy a license first.

    Since you're working on movement actions, would it be possible to add bezier movements, which could be run in a queue?

    That's probably something for a behaviour to do - these are super-basic primitives that are very often useful for a wide array of uses.

  • Yep, HTML5 has web storage so you can make save games.

  • — Wolf, it's aimed at time-limited test editions like buddy40 described. IMO testers actually get a pretty sweet deal in that they don't need a license provided they're willing to stick to the bleeding-edge test builds. I suppose the alternative is we only offer test builds to license holders - then we get less testing done, which could affect stability - it's an option to consider, though. Maybe later when we actually have some license holders.

    newt: woops, dammit, too many things changing too quick...
