Hi,
I've finished to code my last homebrew for both wii and gc: it is called wiicross and it is a picross like game

Before releasing to public i'm asking user around the world to draw a level using the online level editor.
The best 50 levels will be put in the official, game

Cheers,
Scognito.

Very nice idea for a homebrew

can we create only 15*15 picross ?
how can we know if the levels we are submiting are fully playable ?
it could be great a "do it yourself to test before submiting", so we can try it without creating it on paper.
something like the picrossDS's editor wich tell if it's playable or not.

Do you already have a screenshot, or based graphics to show us ?

Good luck, I'm waiting for your homebrew

This sounds great!

Maybe it's possible to create an editor, too. So that other people can create levels, too and the you can play it with your game!

Maybe it's possible!

it's a good idea, including an editor wich send on a repository server via wifi, and people could play and note the levels.
(for the wii version only)

This game wasn't born for being published, it was some code testing that ended up to beign a picross game, so yes there are just 15x15 grid.
What you mean if they are "fully playable"? If you mean "there is a sure pattern for clearing the level without putting random cells" I don't know, because I don't know an algorithm for solving it (at least I'm too lazy to write one

I'll do some ingame screenshot today, but obviously there are some...but I'll show when I'll reach the 50th level

Truse me, the gfx looks professional thanks to the artwork of spriteattack.com!

Also I can tell you the game will be themeable, for who wants to do their own theme.

Cheers,
Scognito.

I've made some Picross / Nonograms for you!

Hope you'll like it. You can tell me, if my work are good and which one do you take
wink.gif

I didn't know you made some level, iirc there is one accepted
wink.gif

As for the unsolvable puzzle I don't know what to do...

For other info please refere to the official blog as Cyber-T did, it's easier for me keeping track of the progress there, also for other users.
Anyway I'm considering to find someone with patience to test the level and doing some sorting, since I don't have much time code anymore.

Progress on My blog

Cheers!

To test them you could try putting them into Picross DS... though that is quite time consuming for 50 (or more) puzzles...

Otherwise you need to make/steal an algorithm and fudge it to work with your format of puzzle.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
