    • almost done...Tiles? Distrobution?


      So I'm almost finished with my first game and I have a couple of questions...

      1. Does anyone have any log cabin interior stamps (mainly walls)?

      2. where is a good (free) place to place the finished game so everyone can download (it will probably be about 15-20MB stuffed)?

      Thanks for your help...

      PS the story is a suprise...(my beta tester can't stop playing it)

    • Assuming it will be a free distribution, I wonder if Ambrosia would be willing to create a "Coldstone engineered games" download site similar to the Add-ons download site. Then those who create games could conceivably upload their creation to this site.

      The upsides would be exposure for game designers as well as exposure for the things that Coldstone can do(and thus be a good marketing tool for CGE).

      Downsides would be hard drive space for Ambrosia plus a bunch of free games that would detract from their shareware games.

      Anyhow, Professor X's question sparked this curiousity in me, and thought I'd ask if Ambrosia had considered this, and if so if they had made a decision?

    • That's what (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSw.com/games/coldstone/addons.html")this(/url) page is for. 🙂

    • So Ambrosia sanctions the uploading of complete games built by Coldstone to their CGE addons page? I figured that the addons page would be for Coldstone related items only(ie, plug-ins that worked on the game engine itself, picture files for people to use in their development, etc), but would not be for completely independant games written using Coldstone.

      But hey if I'm wrong I'll be quiet on the issue!

      Who are they copyrighted to? I'm sure whoever they belong to wouldn't appreciate their work being distributed without their consent.

    • Here's the deal... The game is based on the Friday the 13th series... You are Jason Voorhees and you kill campers... I'm not charging anything for the game... It was fun to make and the people who have played it say it's fun to play... I'll upload it to ambrosia tonight and let them decide...

      Prof X did you hear from Ambrosia? did you find a spot for your game?

    • I've been trying to upload to ambrosia for the last couple days... but haven't had any luck... I'm guessing it's because they switched servers... I'm still looking for a site to put it on... If anyone can help (25MB file) Please let me know
