why is he on the ground

p193309-2-5tlnbxy.png

should be "Ugh... what happened?"
or more preferably
"Ugh ... what happened?"


p193309-3-ftfxxtj.png

the 1 for the EXP bar is still there, and it would look weird without everything anyway

p193309-4-ssxkmrs.png

not sure why my house is in a cave but i digress

Also, the title screen has Dunc's ORG. Also, the weapons won't play a sound when you get them, until I get a new one. The sprite is also going to change once I get on my windows X.P.
Oh, and say goodbye to leveling up!
Wait, were you playing without sound?
Because I accidentally put in the item get sound, which is weird.

You could have told me to remove the XP bar completely instead of just erasing the images because that looks unprofessional
Anyway, nice work on the demo
Don't forget to give player more dust (maybe?) and add an info about the dust consumption in each weapon's description

I will, thanks for the input.
Also, the ammo is just ammo now, and would you know where the calls to spawn the exp crystal is, and how to make it do nothing?

Alright
First off
Wow, you've improved since Before Story

Second
I noticed some things

1. "Your Fist" is a Polar Star, is there a reason for this?
2. The bosses come in above ground, erm..
3. I'm pretty sure "arn't" is aren't.
4. I beat the bosses, but one was left?

I haven't played it yet, but it does sound interesting. I'll do a (video) play through when I get around to playing it.

1. It's so if you run out of ammo, you can still fight to get the ammo drops.
2.I'll fix that.
3. I have no spelling skills... I'll fix it.
$. What do you mean by that?

You arn't supposed to post gameplays here if you are 2stupid2useguns. /s

One tip for you, Bionic: make the fist less OP and the guns more OP.
Or just give a buff to the guns because they still suck.

so i played the 0.0.2
the intro still says 0.0.0.1
dust weapons are now called ranged?
door that teleport to the same screen, check
no health from the heal thingys? unless you place beds, this'll make the game realy hard.
the dust system is cool, all weapons share ammo, and more poverful weapons cost more ammo all pretty good
execp for boss fights, when you run out of ammo the fight is realy boring and painful
no xp?
in the first room it says you could break the lock with the rocket launcher but you can walk right out without shooting the door
ps. it that your real mii?

Exactly.
Wait until I can add the Mii crown, then I shall be complete.

So, I have a problem. My computer's color is messed up, so I can't make the face picture for the main character, Randy.
I already drew it, so I was hoping that someone could make it in digital format. Read the description of the picture for more info.
