Thanks, I am asking my web provider to look into it!
-
They are tweaked a bit, yes-- especially the famous and hated marching-bugs-on-ice level :)

Hi there, The server hasn't been down, but the older iOS SDK that it is compiled with is a little bit fiddly with networking (I've found iOS devices in general do a lot of drops). As fnanfne said, sometimes this is fixed by restarting the program.…

Hi there, thank you very much! I'll put up a Hoggy 2 video soon, a demonstration of the level maker. Right now the game is "done" but is getting levels made, so the completion date is out of my hands. I might hit you up for translation-- I don't …
-
I have a schedule, but it's loose. Hamsterball 2 will be the next game after Solomon's Keep HD comes out.
-
Hm, no-- this is the first complaint I've had with Windows 7. Does the ArcadeTown version you have give you the option to send crashes up to Raptisoft?
-
XGL, I do have one piece of advice... keep it as simple as possible for two reasons: 1. You will run into people who ARE going to do everything they can to break your system, hijack it, exploit it, wreck it. These are miserable people, and they're…

Thank you Fomb. And I will say the quality of your levels is a great deal of my inspiration to provide user tools, and also a part of my desire to get some user-creation games out ASAP. I look forward to seeing what you'll do with the extended too…
-
Well... in an emergency I'll do that. But I do have a nest egg, but more importantly, I need to get some games out to get out of 'the rut' that the whole legal ordeal with Solomon Dark put me into. So this goal is as much therapy as it is financia…
-
Howdy, Here's what I'm tentatively looking at: Hoggy 2 very soon-- I won't give an exact date, but it's already in final stages, it's down to the final level creation and tweaking. That'll be Steam, iPhone, Android, and regular downloads. Hap Ha…

Back when I wrote those games, Apple didn't yet have a "restore purchases" functionality in their API. And it was somewhere around then that they made the big compiler change that cut me off from the old code, so I was never able to update the game…
-
Yes-- BUT, don't worry, as long as you use the same Apple account that you bought it with before, it won't charge you twice. Just do the normal buy, and then it'll say "You've already bought this, do you want to download it again" and you can just …
-
Okay, you're all set up to go!
-
Hi elruin, sometimes spam filters eat my e-mails (hackers have broken my server and forced it to spambot a few times, so I'm on some blacklists). If you can tell me your username, I can go in and make sure you're activated.
-
What the heck... I posted a message that I wouldn't do one this week because of Christmas prep, and now I can't find it on the board anywhere. My apologies! On Monday I said "there won't be a screenshot this week" and somehow it's gone. So uh... …
-
These would be all new to me. The server hasn't had any downtime-- how is your internet connection? A good way to check is just see if www.kittyconnect.com comes up for you in your browser-- if that comes up, it's up.
-
Thanks for the info! That will help me a lot too!
-
Dannyrooz: Hm... okay, I will look into this. If you want to change resolution, they're stored in the registry (hey, it was 2004!), just look up the key Hamsterball and they will be pretty obvious. That's a strange DirectX error-- most other peopl…
-
Hi there, We have a few reports floating in on Windows 10, but I haven't been able to create a solution yet. When the game crashes, does it provide you with a red crash window? Also, does it drop a file called crash_info.txt into the Hamsterball …
-
Haha, noted! Future screenshots will go something like this: "Here's a screenshot."
-
New versions... Apple's compiler changes have shut down my ability to compile older code (I can't make rebuilds of my old games go out of portrait mode for any reason at all). My apologies. Apple would apologize too, if they weren't too busy makin…
-
There's no good way for me to do a "spam compare" on levels, but what I'm working on for the updated level sharing that's going into Hoggy (dubbed Maker Mall) is providing a reporting system, so that after x reports, a level automatically disappears…
-
Yeah, as fnan said, the old forum got eventually destroyed by spammers. That's why this forum has a policy (for now) where I have to approve the first post of any new member. That said, the forum databases ARE still intact-- but the spam to realit…
-
Yeah, well Dork Lord reacted as if I'd just written Mein Kampf II. But spending some time each week on a side project is the opposite of burnout-- it re-energizes.
-
Great! I'll be honest, I half expected torches and pitchforks that I was devoting even two hours a week to something non-Solomon. But next week there will be a new (and exciting) Solomon screenshot.
-
Thank you, and I will! I hope that some of the Robot Wants Kitty people hit the level maker hard... though Hoggy is more a puzzle game than an action game.
-
That curse actually seems to be restricted to Solomon games, for some reason. Maybe the whole thing is like Cool World, and I'm not really writing Solomon games, but I'm just channeling another dark reality into this one.
-
Hey Fomb, I appreciate the offer. I'll discuss more in a bit-- I might kick a couple smaller games out before Solomon's Keep is done, just because I have two games that I've been working on only part-time, but even at only a few hours a week they a…
-
No-- I try not to think of any business stuff during dev. But most likely, PC/Linux/Mac will be a single buy, and mobile will be free to play with irritants, with the option to turn the irritants off, because of how the mobile audience is.
-
I can't give an exact date because whenever I do the universe is immediately destroyed and replaced with an almost identical universe except that in the new replacement universe, the date specified cannot be met for any reason. It's almost like som…
