The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

Trying to do that Infinite Floor thing (technically, it's a trick of the camera), and I think it chugs.

Makes sense, since it's drawing on one surface over and over for each scanline, then putting that on another surface, which puts that on-screen.

Hmm...

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.

So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.

He's coming back. ...but just this once.

The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.

...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.

The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.

...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.
