Hey everybody. First time using a computer in... Well, a long time. I lost count.
Hello!

I was in the hospital for weeks, and my GOD it was boring!

I had a plethora of problems under my belt - first thing first I had a kidney removed. Then I started having random pains, of which the source could not be located. So I had to have some surgery for that and I was recovering for about a week then it came back. After another surgery and the pains finally gone, I had a seizure one night in the hospital bed. That sucked.

After weeks of this, I'm finally mostly better. I have a cast on my broken leg and the pains are starting to come back. I can no longer play RockBand, Call of Duty, etc (some of my favorite games to play online with friends) because I'm more prone to seizures than I have been in the past. I tried picking up the guitar on RockBand and about halfway through the song I got nautious - no seizure there! Thank God.

Unfortunately, if these pains start coming back (and they are) I have to go the hospital again...

And I was a part of the Secret Santa last month - I hope my recipient understands the delay, but I can assure them than they will have their gift in just a few days! I didn't quite get done before all this happened, unfortunately.

No longer limited to four people

Hey all,

I casually got the idea of having multiple users (one being myself) livestream for an amount of time that we could discuss later (I was thinking 6-24 hours?), each of us working together to make a game in that time limit.
While we stream, we could have a Child's Play donation box going. The four of us could get on Skype/TeamSpeak/Whatever and commentate what we're doing and talk to eachother and to the potential audience.

I've gone and emailed Humble Bundle with the hopeful idea of spreading the word and having a respected and well-known indie and occasionally small-time game distributor that also supports Child's Play back up the project.

What do you guys think of this? Does anyone want to participate? Do you think we could make any money for Child's Play doing this?

Hey!
Earlier I tried to sign in to YouTube... Nothing. I tried going to my channel and it said my account was closed!
I was in good copyright standing and everything. No notice, no email... Nothing.

Why would this happen?

Here's my code, in the step event:

if keyboard_check(vk_escape)
{   file_text_open_write(working_directory+"\Please Read This.txt");
    file_text_write_string("\Please Read This.txt","Hi there,
It's been too long, hasn't it? Why don't you come visit me again.
Sincerely,
gamename.exe");
    file_text_close("\Please Read This.txt");
    game_end();
}

Simple enough, it should create a text file in the working directory with that text, right?
Why doesn't it?
(The game that it's for is a suspence/horror/adventure/mind**** game. It's to manipulate the already-scared player's mind into thinking that the game is talking to the player.)

Hey,

Right now I have a system for overworld party movement for a psuedo-RPG I'm making as a birthday gift for my friend, but I came to the realization that it sucks.
Currently, when you push W, the party leader will be in the center of the view and move up, and the rest of the party will jump to Y positions behind him and move up. When you push A, he will start moving to the left and the rest of the party jumps to X positions behind him, etc etc.

What I want to do is something where the characters follow his movements and don't just jump behind him. Like this:


Notice how it's not just jumping around, it's following him.
I do, however, have 4 characters following the main character.

Thanks!
