Howdy all!  I've just posted some screenshots of my own PYL game on my website.  I've spent the last month working on the thing, and would like to hear any comments anybody has. Link to it here.

Thanks!

Should I REALLY be surprised at the Geoshitties error I just got?

Nah, I really shouldn't be.

Once again, GeoVillages owned the internet.

Any other way we can get it from you Dan?

If anyone got pwned, I'd say it was VBW. :)

Wow, this game looks very promising. Good luck with your progress, and I can't wait to see the finished copy!

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm getting a GeoCities error now as well.

To the OP,

You might want to double check the spelling of at least one prize name before you release this.  Swedes might not like the way you misspelled their homeland.  Other than that, very nice.  The fading transition when the board rotates looks very nice.

Damn.  I was in a hurry yesterday to get it running.  I did not expect it to top off so quick.  I'll try to find something better.  Sorry about that.

Lol.  That's how the spell checker wanted it to be spelled!  I thought I had it right.  The fading was the tricky part to get running because my computer is barely fast enough to draw it in time.  Thanks!

First of all, a very nice look. Curt King's version, which features most of the redesigns I sent him, started it all off and got good reception. Yoder's got a fab one, and this one's right up there with them. Great stuff, really.

But I notice one thing of mine that's carried over in all PYL programs since: the coins behind the dollar figures. I remember working to death on trying to draw those stacks around the numbers 6 years ago, and there were two variations on the stacks for money with and without a spin.

Sooner or later, I know someone's gonna give those stacks a swing and make 'em look better than I did. VBW? Chris? Who'd like to be the first?

There's a third variation, the "lacka stacks" motif around the pink $1500 and a spin in the bottom corner.
