Progress on Project MONOLITH... some technical mumbo jumbo inside

[spenoza]

Looks like a lot of fun. The character still seems to move just a hair too fast, though. Looks like some of those jumping bits could get frustrating.

I'm wondering how that antique version of the game even got out... did I forget something?

I just watched that demo for the first time and this looks really great.  Awesome!

This was the Midwest Gaming Classic demo. It is on its way to me for safe keeping.

How did it get out though? I don't remember sending anyone a disc, and I certainly would not have sent out such an early version... that build is so antique, its legs got termites.

I believe Keranu supplied it. He joined us on that Saturday, I believe. Nice guy!

We didn't do anything sneaky to get it.

Right on, no problem. If I had known though, I would have supplied him with a more up-to-date build. And yes, Keranu rocks.

No.  I only demoed Mysterious Song back in like 2010.

IMHO, the proto - even in this early stage - was pretty amazing and very much an enjoyable game!   The only issue we had with it at the MGC was the fact that if someone died it wouldn't revert back to the title screen, so we had to do a soft reset on it for the folks that didn't know how to do that on a PCE/Turbo.  Other than that, it was absolutely fine.  Nobody expected a completed game at the show and everybody that played it came away impressed with it!

I played it once before recording to test out the pass-through on my capture card and had absolutely no problems with the platforming stuff.  Then of course when I began recording I missed a jump or two and one time fell quite a ways.  I ended up leaving it in the recording because while it maybe didn't make my game playing look perfect (heh), it served to show that long falls didn't kill the character or harm him at least in this proto.  I'm typically not someone that likes putting an "until I die" video up on YouTube without at least playing it a bit before recording, but IMHO it sometimes makes for a better video because folks can learn more about the game's penalties and obstacles than simply playing a perfect game.

Later.

Any chance I could here more about where you guys were demo-ing the game?
