Will continue making it in EGSL-IDE. Gamemaker's acting odd, and I truly want to build it from the ground up ^^

[Markpolner]

On another off topic note: my game is now a kinda playable prototype

Also, be see to compile the script so your source is hidden

Nice! What exactly is it about?

(My game (And any future productions) is (And always will be) open-source. My Group (Whom I have more people in now) is revolved around learning how to program, compose, and create. Hiding my code would kinda negate that ^^' (I over use()))

Coolio! A question: who's a part of your group?

It's basically a level up company management type game

Several people I know who are interested in programming, and kastor was (Dunno if he's still around ^^'...)

Ahh, cool. Started work on a graphical game, not sure what it's about yet :/

I'm still here (Just been hiding in the shadows and just haven't been programming might try LUA though)

Srsly do. If you are determined to learn programming, stick with a single language and learn the concepts. The concepts are (generally) the same across every language. You'll only waste your time learning different syntaxes for the basic functions.

Changelog as of now. DEFINITELY Not the final log, I refuse to release this while the saves are broken and  without any new content. Probably gonna rewrite the save/load system entirely.

EDIT: whoops, forgot to post the changelog... ah whatever. Itsa my 16th birthday today, so for the weekend or so, I'll be inactive.

I know I know :-P I'm just trying to find the language  that suites me best.

I won't be finishing the campaign nor versus mode anytime soon. Sorry. They're still there and will remain in the code, but they're at the bottom of my todo list ^^'

I recommend using

os.execute("clear")

so that there isn't a clutter of previous text on the screen

Yea, I've thought of doing that to replace the pagebreaks. Is a very VERY possible update.

[Anonymos]

Good Project! I'm waiting for the new version.

[DiggyDiggyHole]

If you're wondering why I haven't been posting, it's because I'm going foreveralone and coding my own AI friend :3

I'll release it to the public once I get it stable. Functions will include: (all of these are done)
* Context-sensitive conversations(e.g, on your AI's birthday, you can wish it happy and get on their good side if you've been arguing)
*Use of os.execute("cls") to rid the clusterf*** of previous messages.
*Basic emotions (Love, Anger, Happiness, Sadness) which affect^{and is affected by} the dialogue.
*Human-like responses(e.g, if you upset them, they will stop talking to you.)
*Minor customization (Name your AI and give it a gender. all for now.)

Revival 4 news:
Bad news, Today I realised that Eggshell has ZERO support for file writing/reading. Which means Revival 4, if made in Eggshell, will have EXTREMELY limited functions. (Imagine the legacy version...)
I've looked into other engines and none suit my fancy, so Revival will remain Text-based.

BUT FEAR NOT!
I have great plans for Revival's rewrite!

[DiggyDiggyHole]

Hello again, want a quick look at how the new combat will work in Revival 4? Those who can read basic code, here's a sneak peek at a snip of code I'm using to debug:

function press()
 t=os.time()
 print("PRESS ENTER REPEATEDLY!")
 while i ~= 20 do
  i=i+1
  io.read()
 end
 timetook=os.time()-t
 print("It took you "..timetook.." seconds to tap 20 times.")
 io.read()
end
i=0
press()
