I don't think so that will exist a Koopa 3.

Lambtaco 2014-07-08 16:56:40

Maybe, some day. But I'm not taking on a project of this size by myself again. Unless maybe I can work on it full time. More likely though, when Koopa 3 comes, it will be a more collaborative effort.

I've talked to TomFulp about the problem and i'm pretty sure the reason for the problem is that im using an old version of Internet Explorer and/or Windows, you might be surprised but, I could play all of the beta with Windows XP, surprising isn't it? I will answer all of the survey questions in a whole, not in parts, as soon as I reslove this one way or another, after that I shall RULE THE WORLD *beep* I shall complete the survey and the game. Thank you for your patience.

Lambtaco 2014-07-09 20:59:29

Glad to hear you did something about it. I'm actually making the game on XP. Have you at least tried other browsers? Firefox works for me.

SirArsen 2014-07-10 17:15:23

WOO HOO, I completely finished AKR2 and did it with FireFox, I wasn't really familiar to FireFox, I know what it is, but I wasn't familiar with it, that's why I hesitated to use it. I'm all done now, I took a tons of notes and will tell you all of this in the survey. I will PM you the survey answers as soon as it's done. That final, final, FINAL boss scared the crap out of me, I was scared out of my mind, the way the camera was zooming out, all the suspense, simply amazing.

Lambtaco 2014-07-10 17:15:23

Awesome. I heard Microsoft is dropping support for XP including Internet Explorer updates, so your browsing experience might only be getting worse with IE. Looking forward to your feedback.

Bug: The path from the doomship to the castle disappears when you get the green pipe and randomly reappears later.

Suggestions: Make the whole "Wait too long, text pops up to tell you controls" thing pop up in 30 seconds instead of 7, gets really annoying or make it a toggle feature. Add some sort of indication in the overworld menu in the cheat section that you have done the 100 lives cheat like a smiley face or something, when you've done the cheat and go into the menu there is still a lock symbol indicating that you haven't done it even though you have.

I forgot to tell you my reaction when I got back, boy was I in for a treat, the new MegaMan 2 enemy from the Airman stage and the falling pink fungi beetles. The clicking on the map helps a lot if you want to save time. I like the difference between killing a boss with a power-up and killing a boss regularly. I also like how the bricklets don't "activate" if you're above them making people think it's just another texture or that only some will go off. Everything about the update is good overall, especially the finalest boss.

Extra bit: I would like Baconheroman to go diagonally from the bottom left to the top right.
A.K.A Thank you.

Sorry this couldn't be in the survey, I ran out of characters, yup I used 6131 characters. I know you wanted a PM for everything so I left out the least important things of the survey and put them here except the left over bug.

Lambtaco 2014-07-11 02:28:27

I'll look into it.

It's actually 5 seconds. But I think I'll change it to 15. 30 is too long. Honestly I'd prefer it not exist a all, but some people just don't read instructions no matter how hard you try. That lock isn't for the 100 lives cheat, it's for something else entirely.

Glad somebodies noticing all the tiny changes I'm making. I'm going to further improve the map clicking too. You'll be able to drag the map around using the mouse.

No exactly what I meant, but okay. I'll see what I can do.

You can always send 2 PMs.

The extra bit messed up, Baconheroman A.K.A ArsenN, A.K.A being under the username and ArsenN being under A.K.A, sorry if the extra bit seemed weird.

Lambtaco 2014-07-11 14:06:02

That makes way more sense.

Lambtaco 2014-07-12 05:17:47

Just did another update. But I'm going on vacation in a couple of days, so if I broke anything major, let me know ASAP.

toadmanomega 2014-07-26 21:30:47

I did not beat the game i only got to the first castle so i wil lonly do parts of the survey that i can do without telling the whole game and etc.

Lambtaco 2014-07-26 21:30:47

You can pretty much do the whole survey. Your answers will likely be brief, but you can still supply useful info.
