Slip into Ruby - Under the Hood part 16: Bo (window_)selecta(ble)!

Yeah, when this series first started I was really dumbing everything down to the point of being insulting, but now that we're (hopefully) a fair ways into the breakdown I'd like to think that anyone following along since the start will know terms like that like the back of their hands.

Though you have just brought up an interesting possibility I hadn't considered: there may be people who just start reading halfway through, so perhaps I should retain the newbie-friendly language I used in the beginning throughout the series.

My game is called Tundra. It used to have a gamepage but it died because I never updated it. :P I'm really hoping to get it released this year, so keep your eyes peeled! And you're quite welcome, it's always good to see people improving and your mapping has gotten a lot better. I applaud you for having the courage to post here and ask us for advice.

tawman, my main game has been in development since 2001.

2001. You read that right. Two. Thousand. And. One.

16 years this monkey has been on my back. And I absolutely love pretty much every idea I've ever had for the game, and I'm determined to get it out at some point. But it's gotten to the point where nothing I can possibly do will justify the amount of time I've put into it. At the end of the day, though, as long as people enjoy it when it's finally released every second will have been worthwhile.

I've seen worse. It's unlikely that vines would be capable of growing in an environment that hot; lava isn't exactly conducive to wild plant growth. You've got some nice variation in wall cracks, though I'd perhaps move the bottom left one a single tile further right just to contrast it more with the one at the top left, since it's using the same crack tile. Consider tinting the screen very slightly red to simulate the hazy heatwave effect you'd get.

Good stuff, if you have any further issues with it don't hesitate to ask, but touch wood that's you sorted!

One thing that's interesting is that the autorun you just posted a screenshot of appears to be a different one from the one in your first post?

It looks like you don't have a "wait" set for the move route, maybe that's screwing with it?

Do you definitely not have another autostart event on the same map that isn't being switched to another page?

What edit?

Also while you're here I sure would appreciate a comment on the actual article content rather than pointing out I had the number wrong. :P

What's the activation condition for page 2?
