It was all an elaborate plot to make this person reveal himself! Mwhahaha

Yup, and much better than being in the last 50% for months Smiley

Of course depends on what degree you're getting and what field you're going into, but for a lot of things going to an ivy league school isn't actually worth it. The best thing you would get out of an ivy league school would be the alumni networking and contacts with a probable higher percentage of entrepreneurial types.

If you're going into a growing field that pays a lot, where you got your degree won't mean jack squat, you'll be hired regardless, so you might as well have saved the money and went to a state university.

Not having debt is great.

Tried porting it to GM:S last weekend, and there were a bunch of issues that would take more than an evening to fix. It took an hour or so just to get the game to compile without crashing, and then in the state I got to before quitting the graphics look all blurry and crap.

Think I'm going to focus on finishing the last 10% of the game in GM8.1 first.

The domain got reported for copyright infringement or abuse or something by a troll, so it might be another week before its back up on spelunkylevels.tk. This happened once before, and it took two weeks to resolve, so guessing off that.

Yeah, I've found out over the course of its lifetime that .tk is totally not worth it, for the tiny amount of money saved.  If I could, I would go back and change everyone's links :/

In the meantime, it can also be accessed at http://spelunkylevels.tyr-net.net/


I probably ought to do a 302 redirect to spelunkylevels.com or something to preserve seo once I get the .tk domain again, then just have everyone start using that.

I've learned for the future to never use a cost cutting measure (ten dollars a year more for coffee) that starts a situation that's hard to get out of.  If only there was a way to magically change all the links out there to a real domain :/

It might be easier to copy code that fixed new stuff from here, and add it to the community update GM 8 source, then port to GM:S, since idyll had to back port the game to GM 7 to get GM4Mac working.

At the moment, we need to wait for an audio extension, hopefully caster, to be ported to linux. Plus I have no freetime!

http://wiki.yoyogames.com/index.php/Setup_Gamemaker:Studio_for_Linux_%28Ubuntu%29

This was added on the 20th of this month. I wonder if there's a linux beta in the wild already?

Only reason I'm holding off on upgrading to Studio now is unless you buy the most expensive master collection new exporters might not be included with your license.


(I'm excited!)

A gamemaker game running natively on linux:

So going to get studio once the linux module is included Smiley

Haven't ever used it, but from what I've seen you sell your soul and annoy the crap out of your users by sending them to a virus laden ad page before the real download link, in return for cash.

Averaging the payout rate they say they give for large English countries to $3, I potentially could have made $1,200 off of the Minecraft chat improvement mod I made in the early days of multiplayer.

Missed opportunities :/

Heh, I love the thwumps' smile in the video. The puzzles with the ice are cool.


When you get around to adding sound effects, check out http://www.bfxr.net/ if retro sounding ones would work.

in other news, Minecraft modders continue to be egotistical morons.
Its a shame I got bored updating my client mods a month after the first multiplayer release. These days I could be egotistical and make some cash off of that adfly crap!

The awesome Groovemaster303  (and some with work from Jredd too) has some Castlevania inspired tracks that he's letting me finish the soundtrack with Smiley

Final boss music? Yes!
