NinjaFighter · « **on:** February 08, 2012, 04:02:42 am »

I've create a new Testing Version for Para Para Paranoid Game, in that case, is practically same game as the previous version. But with a lot of testing functionality and with posibility of save replay files. You can play, and write your opinions at pause screen, or show a Like or Dislike images during the gameplay, with A and Z keys respectively. Please, if you want to contribute with our game, download the testing version, and send us your very first replay. Only with your help, we can make a good videogame, adjusted for the player's wishes.
This is the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?2j66ap3jdagztik
Thank you, and enjoy the testing!

I tested first 4 levels with this new game release.
Am I doing as you expected?

Thank you! I can see a lot of tiny design errors, thanks to see people's replays. I really appreciate that you help me by this way.

Your technique for the first level with slowdowns, was very original.

(I never see someone's trying by that path)

The game is very well done. There are very few minor level design errors. If I find some of them I'll point out in another replay.
I'm looking at my own replay: you can read all I wrote! LOL!
Sorry for long inactive sessions. I thought recording was disabled in pause mode.

All levels in a replay!

Hey!
I can't run this game. Once I click "PLAY", I get an empty Window, it seems to "load" for a while, then it crashes ("... has stopped working").

Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.

I loaded the csfml-*.dll into the Dependency Walker and apparently I am missing "MSVCR90.dll". I do have all the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables from 2005 and up installed, both x86 and x64 versions. What else am I missing?

For an actual release, you should definitely keep this problem in mins and include whatever redistributable that's necessary, or point to it.

Yeah! I'm working on it. These moments will be skipped on next versions.

Thank you for your replay! Was very funny! Your comments really made me laugh! xD
You have passed a lot of levels in a very original way!

This is strange, looks like a SFML2's compatibility issue maybe? :?
To run this game, you only must have dotnet4.0 and a videocard that support pixel shader 2.0.

Just curious about this. How do you achieve it?
Is it storing the keystrokes in memory and then outputting to a file?

It works quite well. How do you store the keystrokes before dumping the data into a file?

Also, the game is great. It has a very balanced level of difficulty.

I using my own keyboard state system, that's similar in concept to the XNA's. I'm storing key change states, from "pressed/release", or viceversa, with the current index of the key, and the current frame. It's very basic system for now.

Very very good game! I'm a big fan of the concept.
