i'm not sure if this converts them to txt format, but ogmo editor is pretty sweet.

 

Well I know Tiled Map Editor can export to .txt and if they doesn't work I think ogmo may? At least I think it can export as a .xml file.

 
thanx "2" u "2"... i ended up using Tiled, i don't think ogmo can do plaintext.
 

I got my story all figured out, and since my thing's basically like a vine but with AGS, now all I gotta do is draw all the pictures.  but my perfectionism's killin me here, I hope I can get everything drawn before the weekend so's I can have at least SAT and SUN to figure out how to make the magic happen with AGS...

 
intriguing description!!! lookin' forward to it!!!!...........

oh yipes I meant twine not vine ahaha whoopsie, it is basically a bunch a little scenes and vignettes that you navigate through w/commands
 
that accident, though... a vine AGS game... hmm.  no  time for this jam, but maybe... Future...             

today i finished the ini system, so tomorrow will be all main neighborhoods and date systems

been doing alot of work.  I won't be able to jam friday, saturday, or sunday, so I'll have to be done and have to hand in my game by friday MORNING.  Been programming and pixelling and sampling for hours and hours straight.  ( , ) (.) my eyes hurt
 
  ...here is a screen of my protagonist gazing at the moon after a long night's danger filled work. 

no attempt has been made at relating this to spooky halloween
 
but there's controller support and resolution scaling and things to bump into and oddly proportioned man-things.

damn thats a shame vellfire, hope you feel better soon...

sorry to hear it vellf Get WEll Soon!!

Wow these are all looking so impressive! I'm really hoping mine can keep up!
This is the first timed competition I've ever done (I started one or two others but never got significantly into the game) and it really looks like you'll all outdo me. Hopefully "Cactus City Road" proves to be fun!
I was also forced to learn AS3 for this (thanks to CC!), so I've been googling like crazy to relearn everything I used to use in AS2. It's working out though! You guys seem like a great community, this is already fun and we haven't even gotten our hands on eachother's games.
 
I'll post a screenshot tonight after I get a few more hours of work in
What's Done
Art - Passable (I always do things passably at first and then If I have time I come back and make things pretty)
player mechanics - done
enemy mechanics - started
level design - TBD

I think that if you know you're not gonna make the deadline, but you LIKE your idea - keep that fire burning and keep posting to this thread.

I'm going to finish mine in time I think, but I'm going to keep expanding it probably.  ...can I keep the dev posts going?
 
Also, milestone celebration sidenote - just wrote this game maker code and couldn't be happier:
           
            room_goto(cineRoom);
            with(all){//woooooooooooooooooooo!
                if object_index != endOfGameStats{
                    instance_destroy();
                }
            }
 
 
It's all coming to an end, folks.

Okay I think I'm almost done being sick. It looks like everyone else is doing well except for the others who are ill. I hope everyone gets better. I'm probably not going to finish this in two days seeing as I need to catch up on some contracted work. I like my idea tho so imma work on it here and there.

yup i totally know what moonshine is and i definitely know what goes in it
