house of tail updated, mailing lists are absolute terror
Posted 9 years agohelloo
Put out an update tonight for people who have bought into House of Tail (you guys are the best). Sent out emails using a mailing list and it just terrifies me using it for reasons. Figure I can post a journal while I wait for that to finish.
It's weird posting a journal. It's not lost on me how talk is cheap and people would rather see stuff. Constantly working on stuff. Want to draw more, but it's been a lot of coding and writing lately, learning new software.
Funny trivia: I read people's journals here more than browse art. Tend to check journals a couple times a week, maybe more, while I go through the art submission feed for a few days once every few months. I try to comment more, as everyone likes getting comments, right? But it's also weird reading into strangers' lives or seeing more personal art, and I don't want to intrude. Just peeping. Makes it sound creepy...
...and got a return email that I assume is an auto-responder saying this particular account is no longer active because the owner passed away ;_;
but mailing list is finished. relief. it was a pleasant talk. until next time

Common Grounds One Year Anniversary
Posted 12 years ago(nsfw) http://fupoco.com/common-grounds-1-.....r-anniversary/
Common Grounds has been out and about for one whole year!!
It has been a fun adventure. We are forever grateful to all of you for the support. It is something we never want to take for granted, and I'm always at a loss for words to properly express how we feel about it.
I've recently figured out how best to go about expressing it, and that's a growing excitement about beginning work on Common Grounds 2.
We have taken many notes about your thoughts and what you'd like to see, and are looking forward to making the next one something we can be even more proud of. (I can't wait!)

House of Tail Update
But first we have to finish House of Tail.
Have just about finished the level-up menu and related features. Want to let you know we're still on top of it and this is going to happen!
(And for the rest of the team not to kill me for taking so long… ^^;)

Demo / need help
Posted 13 years agoCommon Grounds Demo
http://fupoco.com/images/common-gro.....sDemoSetup.exe
Could someone please test that it starts :)
Works fine for me* Tested on both XP and 7 -but- I need to confirm it works, as a couple of people seem to have problems but they're not telling me. Would like to figure it out. Have solved every issue so far. Once I finish this one, I can FINALLY move on to the next game!
I may need system info, so if you want to keep it hush-hush, please email me at support[at]fupoco.com
( * except for a funny glitch i found today. If you start a new game, while the background is scrolling in the car, and you use the menu to load something else, it won't reset the background position, so every background will be warped from there out. Pretty obscure, but still feel stupid about it. )

Game updated & FWA
Posted 13 years agoI'll be out of town at FWA this weekend, so I may be slow to respond to emails and stuff.
It's my first furry con and I'm excited. You hear so much about them, so I'm trying to remove any kind of expectation and just take it all in. Hope to see you there!
~~~~~~~~GAME ISSUES~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, so this has been one fun and frustrating action-packed thrill ride.
As has been requested, I will release a demo. In all honesty, I should have done so before finishing the actual game. It's standard procedure, how game developers catch all (or most of) the crazy system errors before launch.
I got a hold of a windows 7 machine and experienced firsthand how uptight it is with permission levels. I thought I was doing what Microsoft recommends and asking for 'user' level permission when installing the game, the lowest level. But by doing that with the program files directory, the game never receives permission to read and write files! In its own directory no less! How is that a security threat?! I think they're being overly cautious, but who knows.
It is fixed, but now has that annoying vista-style pop up when you run the installer with "Publisher Unknown, do you trust them?". Looked into how you get to be known and it seems like you have to pay a lot of money to be verified. May have read it wrong.
The weirdest part about this has been that everyone who's messaged me has been able to play through to some degree. And last night when I tested on a windows 7 box, I wasn't even able to install the thing without changing directories. And when I did, I couldn't get it to run cause it couldn't read the ini (game settings) file!
It concerns me to the core that people who've bought it may have had the same trouble I had on win7. I spent all day fixing it and sent it back out to everyone. Thankfully half the people who buy it tend to email me with feedback, but it's that other half I worry about. I want to make sure everything's cool.
Well, see you next week, hopefully with a demo.

Removed 'Audio Test' submission
Posted 13 years agoDue to the much appreciated feedback, I plan on uploading another version with better audio soon. I wasn't 100% happy with it before, and it did sound a bit funny. Hopefully I'll get it right with my second attempt. This is not as easy as I thought.
Once this is deemed OK, the game will be more or less finished. Though I still have to create all the post-production stuff.
Thanks again for all the feedback :3
