Re: Personal experience with fangames

Thanks for the replies! :) Now I get more and more aware of the fact that this thread is not only a guide for fangame beginners - which is my main intention - but also a kind of review of the games, so I hope these reviews are fair to the creators! At the same time, it's clear that these are only my...

Personal experience with fangames

That's a topic for every Boulder Dasher who wants to try out fangames, but doesn't know where to start. I felt the same way when I discovered this great site 20 years ago, because there's such a big mass of fangames to choose from, but there's no "tour guide" which tells you which games ar...

Re: Dustin's Boulder Dash

It's out on the Game Base!!! Thanks Arno! And a lot of fun with the game for all of you :D This is just a very... well, fascinating moment for me personally, after having designed this game for so long! BTW I tested around with the underwater colours for the aforementioned zone. Although I liked the...

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

Nice game again! :| I had a kind of flashback to my childhood, where I remember when I finally made it through cave P and Int 4 in BD1. I was expecting to see cave Q for the first time and I was quite disappointed to see that there actually was no cave Q! Here, it was the opposite: after finishing c...

Re: Dustin's Boulder Dash

Happy New Year everyone! :D I know I said a few months ago that I "really want to" finish BD - The New Elements 2 until the end of last year, but obviously I didn't, so I just want to let you know that I have by no means forgotten about it! I started my "final testings" on the ga...

Re: Dustin's Boulder Dash

Announcement: Dustin's Boulder Dash 22! I just got aware that DBD 21 was already a year ago! At the moment, I've got quite a few "almost finished" GDash games in store (including DBD 22, 23 and even 24, and of course "Boulder Dash - The New Elements 2"), plus some more started p...

Re: No One's Boulder 11 - Caves I and N

Actually I've got big problems with cave I too, it's the first No One's boulder cave I cannot solve. If I do nothing at first, I easily get the diamonds because the amoeba traps itself, but then there're too many butterflies in the way to the exit. If I let the butterflies in, then either the amoeba...

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

Cool! :D I'm just playing through your games again on the higher levels :D And I just discovered an unsolvable cave: AD2, IV/4 , where Rockford is trapped at the start. Could easily be fixed with a different seed; for example, if you change it from 8 to 7, then the five seeds would be the first five...

Re: GDash new port

Ah, I see, this makes a lot of sense! :D BTW should scheduling type "CLCK" also be added? Is there any major difference between 1stB and CLCK scheduling? I mean, there exists scheduling type "CrDr7" of course, but it's not working for all CLCK-made games, is it? Most other CLCK g...

Re: GDash new port

Thank you Logic for the info, this was very helpful! :) So, to sum it up: 1. The perfect way to deal with the MW (and Amoeba) timings would be: - if "scheduling type" is BD1, BD2 or PLCK, then milling time 0 should always be interpreted as 256. - If scheduling type is "1stB" (sti...

Re: Dustin's Boulder Dash

Hi everyone, I know that I've announced the release of Boulder Dash - The New Elements 2 for "probably the second half of 2022 or the first half of 2023". Well, now that this time period is already over, I thought at least I'd give you the current state of development :D The game is curren...

Re: GDash new port

Thanks zsom!

I see, now that I looked at it, that the .gds files are way smaller than .bd files.
Alright, so I intend to do it this way (save fixed games as .bd and remove the former .gds if it was buggy) :)
