@LWorksGames that's a surprise and a half. we were expecting Super liam to come out first.

@Drummerdaniels Only onemore days.

@LWorksGames What a lovely surprise, a very long time before Christmas! I'll definitely play the latest version of Great Toy Robbery later today.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@frog67 Some folks though tI should wait until closer to Christmas, but I didn't want to make people wait another nine months for an update.
Show threadClare PageMar 27
@LWorksGames Good on ya! To be honest, I didn't expect any update till nearer Christmas. As I play TGTR at any time of year, it's great to be able to play the new version not long before Easter.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@frog67 It would have been nice to do a super egg hunt update for easter, but there is still a ton of work I'd like to do.
Show threadClare PageMar 27
@LWorksGames Great news that there will also be a Super Egg Hunt update, even if we have to wait a while for that one!
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@frog67 I don't have a timeline on that one yet, but I very much want to make an update. I'd also love to bring it to iPhone.
Show threadClare PageMar 27
@LWorksGames An iOS version would be great, but even if that never happens I look forward to a new version on Windows. Super Egg Hunt was one of the first games I ever played on Windows, and I've always loved it.
Show threadAndyMar 27
@LWorksGames How fun! Man, I'm excited for if you ever do Judgment Day. Still one of my fav games... Has been since I was like 12 or something. Even cooler if iOS ever came out. After all, the original version lets you use a mouse. I (think?) that was the first audiogame to use a mouse, was it not?
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@remixman I don't think it was the first to use a mouse. No.
Show threadAndyMar 27
@LWorksGames Ah? I wonder which game was, then.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@remixman I'm not really sure. Great question though.
Show threadNick D DanielsMar 27
@LWorksGames @remixman 1 slight concern i have are the snakes on level 3, the wild woods. now for someone like you who is hard of hearing in the right ear, surely that may pose an issue?
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@Drummerdaniels @remixman yeah. they are not my favorite thing. I'll be honest, i can't enjoy this game the same way I used to. But I'm glad others can.
Show threadCasey Reeves (it/its)Mar 27
@remixman @LWorksGames I second this. Judgment day would be awesome! But it's one of the more complex games like Super Liam so there's that too.

@LWorksGames Anywhere to find a list of controller bindings?
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@Rich manual should have them. if not, let me know.
Show threadThe Ghostly Broken PandaMar 27
@LWorksGames nice, saw what was new, but read me now has weird symbles lol. I think its every time you have an apostrafy sign
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@bluenova I'll check. it is probably escape characters.
Show threadThe Ghostly Broken PandaMar 27
@LWorksGames still neet though. :)
Show threadThe Ghostly Broken PandaMar 27
@LWorksGames oh its only in the web version of the readme, not the one in the zip file. guess I should have checked that
Show threadKaliahMar 28
@bluenova @LWorksGames I noticed this too, apostrophes seem very broken in the readme, even the new Super Liam readme breaks this. Also I think dashes too.
Show threadThe Ghostly Broken PandaMar 28
@Kaliah @LWorksGames yup, correct. the readme in the zip files for both games are fine though
Show threadLWorksMar 29
@Kaliah @bluenova Working on fixing this. it's an html encoding issue.
Show threadKaliahMar 29
@LWorksGames @bluenova No worries, I just remembered seeing it in previous readme's and I wasn't sure if you were aware of it.
Show threadThe Ghostly Broken PandaMar 29
@LWorksGames @Kaliah awesome, thanks. really loving the new version, finally unlocked super L AI M and holy stars, he's one scary AI bot
Show threadthe esoteric programmerMar 27
@LWorksGames awesome! considering that nvgt supports cross-compilation for linux, can we expect a linux version in the future?
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@esoteric_programmer When the executables actually work on Linux, yeah probably.
Show threadthe esoteric programmerMar 27
@LWorksGames if you build them in a linux environment, say wsl or CI or stuff like that, it works. If you build them on windows, linux users have to go in file properties and check a box, because windows filesystems can't produce the executable bit. I can probably play it in wine, but I think most of us wouldn't mind making the file executable manually because of tool limitations if that means one more native game. If there are other issues though, that's fair
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@esoteric_programmer If I can build on WSL I am not opposed to trying that.
Show threadthe esoteric programmerMar 27
@LWorksGames yeah, sure you can! and you can even build on windows itself, it's just that linux people will have to set that bit. Now, the bigger thing is that nvgt should get a better linux package story eventually, because right now, this is like the mac OS version of the game would just be a binary file instead of an app bundle or however they call it over there. So yeah, that would involve flatpaks or appimages, which would probably not have this issue anymore, but also cross-compilation directly from windows wouldn't be possible, so one would need wsl or a linux system to build for linux.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@esoteric_programmer I don't mind building through wsl at all. I'll look at it next week.
Show threadthe esoteric programmerMar 27
@LWorksGames awesome, thanks!
Show threadJonathan RodriguezMar 27
@esoteric_programmer @LWorksGames This was actually just fixed in NVGT's latest commits, NVGT now uses libarchive instead of PocoZip, and the executable bit now gets added to Linux and iOS builds.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@Jonathan @esoteric_programmer Now if only we could add executable builds to mac. sad face.
Show threadJonathan RodriguezMar 27
@LWorksGames @esoteric_programmer I just varified with Sam, it should work with Mac builds as well.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@Jonathan @esoteric_programmer now that is awesome. I have to always transfer my projects over which I freakin hate.
Show threadJonathan RodriguezMar 27
@LWorksGames @esoteric_programmer You'll probably still have to to create a DMG though.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@Jonathan @esoteric_programmer I'm totally fine with that. means moving one.app file and running a script.
Show threadBrišŸ„°Mar 27
@Jonathan @LWorksGames @esoteric_programmer It's a shame we can't create DMG's on Windows for Mac.
Show threadJohannMar 28
@Bri @Jonathan @LWorksGames @esoteric_programmer Really random question, but why not just zip the `.app` for Mac?
Like it's easier IMO to just command down arrow on the zip, command c to applications folder and go, nothing to unmount after.
Show threadLWorksMar 28
@johann @Bri @Jonathan @esoteric_programmer I mean. there's nothing stopping me from doing that I suppose.
Show threadPatrick WMar 27
@esoteric_programmer @LWorksGames NVGT's bundler now uses libarchive, so it should set the correct permissions now even on Windows. It can also generate a .tar.gz and such, and you could also configure pre and post-run commands for other packaging stuff.
Show threadMissy HoppeMar 27
@lerven @LWorksGames I've just been playing the new toy robbery. Seems like there are lots more toys. Also, no score in the free play round? I didn't know if that would have a time limit, or if you'd get a score for collecting all the toys, or how that would work. Made it to seventh place on the scoreboard, so at least there's that.
Show threadLWorksMar 27
@Mitmee_Pie @lerven freeplay is just to run around and practice collecting toys.

@LWorksGames @Mitmee_Pie @lerven i've also been playing GTR, good work. I like that the game has jaws support, which the original didn't. good work.

@LWorksGames Wow a classic! I like the idea.

Did you keep the previous toys? I found the sounds they made very funny.
