Ghost Forest - Beta

He won’t need the batch-file anymore, since he fixed his memory problem.
What kind of soundcard do you guys with the error have? My laptop has an onboard Conexant SmartAudio HD and it works fine. I can try it with my Waveterminal when I get home tomorrow.

I do agree with the reload-thing. I never know how much ammo I have, or when I’ve actually reloaded. I spend most of my time running scared, keeping tabs on the ghosts ^^

I still get the same error though :-\

Well, he hasn’t released a new version with the fix yet.

OP should look at: http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/play-clip-more-than-once/24285/view.html
and

On that last one, I’d recommend reading the linked post, and the next one by kuusisto (creator of TinySound).

Good luck fixing it.

Anyone who uses this website a lot, should I release Ghost Forest ‘beta’ as a new post, or should I just edit this one??

Just reply to this thread, and edit the OP.

Thank you :slight_smile:
update up soon

Beta is up!! :slight_smile:

Enjoy!

That’s really cool! Sounds works too, now. :slight_smile: I’m interested in as to how the 2.5D works.

Works fine on my computer. The graphics and the sounds are really coherent. The gameplay is pretty fun.
I only think that the GUI could be improved. You put everything in only one corner, so when I focus on the action, I don’t clearly see how many ammo I have left for instance.
Great little game for the moment ! :slight_smile:

It seems each sound plays twice for me, so when I shoot I hear 2 shooting sounds, and the same thing when I reload. Not when I get attacked by ghosts, though, which is peculiar.

Mads: Thank you! :slight_smile: its really quite simple, so simple that I wouldn’t call it 2.5D more 2.25D. Basically, the scale of the object draw depends on its distance to the player, and the x position on the screen depends on the objects angle to the player.

Tim spekler: Thank you for your feedback! :slight_smile: To be honest, I was thinking the same, also the GUI doesn’t look “scary” enough, I think i’ll change to colour scheme.

Ultroman: hmmmm, very strange, I’ll shall definitely look into it.

Thanks all for playing! :slight_smile:

Very strange indeed. Just to avoid any wrongful error-reporting, I’ll make a small video to show you.

Awesome. I love it how the ghosts just pop out in front of you.
