I just released a PDF manual and strategy guide for Shark Turtle #sharkturtle #samegame #macigame #marchintosh #love2d #gamedev #indiedev
@gingerbeardman ok I gotta ask; how much for you to develop a kome option (ye old 1000s of tiles, typically 700-800 tiles per color) option? Cuz ugh I have a mighty need for it and I swear I’m like the only person who only played that mode in Macigame
@vi_zzyzx you can already resize the window to get a big play area. How big depends on your monitor resolution. Let me know how you get on!
There would be some work to do half sized files to get really big numbers of blocks. Let's talk
@gingerbeardman I’ll grab a copy when I’m off work and see how it goes on my Mac.
I’ve been ridiculously too many tiles gameless since I upgraded my personal Mac in 2023 and haven’t dealt with migrating my sheepvm over to it (lolsob yay working in tech)
>_> I may need to gently beg for marukoma tiles too, I haven’t checked the tile list yet
@gingerbeardman my beloved marukoma on my M2 Air, bless.
a) yes, more tiles, all the tiles, please! (legit though, half size tiles would be glorious)
b) <_< any way to get a “number of tiles per color" counter added?
c) maybe a chance to get a "reset to start" button?
Absolutely happy to pay you for development work on these asks because I know they are kinda weird and hyperfocused but… Macigame was one of my key self soothing things from like… 1996-2023 and my neurospicy brain yearns
@vi_zzyzx a) I'll look into effort required, b) press ESC to show that Indy in pause mode, c) I'll add it. Glad you like it. I just added a manual and strategy guide to the page. Let's keep in touch!
@gingerbeardman ahhh thank you! Seriously do keep me posted on the effort/cost for being able to have bonkers levels of tiles, there’s this extra glorious feeling of getting a set of one color of tiles from edge to edge and then clearing like 600+ block at once and watching the score balloon, then mopping up straggler blobs
@gingerbeardman this is the unhinged way I play >_> I work top down from the sides and into the middle clearing as many tiles while connecting a giant blob of the highest tile count
<_< when I cleared the giant blue blob it netted 142884 points
@vi_zzyzx that's how I play too! How cool
