Probably! It's always been an issue with AGK. My one beef with it is there is no way to package your app and all the assets without using 3rd party software.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, its bundled by a package app (otherwise the raw files would be all out) which soothes most of the Virus checkers but obviously not all of them!

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · 2d

Because AGK is not very whitelisted as it never gained much traction as a game making app. But of course it has functions to look for keypresses, etc. so it does worry the antivirus programs sometimes.

I mean, there's no reason I couldn't. I'll look at that idea.

The Mule will also be identified by the undertaker once murdered, and they have another specific trait that reveals their donkey DNA which I won't spoil.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · 22d

The Mule is currently random but like all the random stuff I can, that's now changed.

Instead, the Mule doesn't like anyone much (friendship capped at 33%) but if hung they will curse whoever they like the least.

In the event of a tie, you would be the last one chosen, but they CAN now kill you!

Kindly leave the stage.

My mind was blown coming from the PS1 to N64 and the reveal of Peach's castle. The graphics were just on another level. Then I saw Turok being demoed and I had to have it. Can't believe I paid £70 for that in 1997, but that's how good it looked!

It feels like it, oh math-doer

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Sep 3

I love coding, but it works thus:

Day 3: Basic game structure in place, Physic engine works, 90% of graphics done.

Day 9,345: Go nuts trying to work out why a text object doesn't appear and spend 9 hours fiddling until changing its flag from 500 to 505 solves it and that doesn't even make sense.

Maybe for v1.0 I'd add some refinements like that in, I have new ideas all the time but I'm resisting any new features so I can actually get 0.13 out. At the moment, the best use for your very best of friends is either kidnapping them or putting them in a cooking pot (just like real life, amirite?)

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Aug 26

Aha, bad luck! But the cards are preshuffled, it doesn't rng when you click one. But if it helps the Death card has changed, it no longer instantly adds to your sus. Instead it means any sus you manage to incur that day is buffed up, so you just need to take care.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Aug 21

Remind me what happens with that and I'll check on it

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Aug 21

It sure does if you want it to! 🐎

"What is my purpose?"

"You bring me weed."

"Oh, cool."

Once a blade now a mare. The blade that took life of many horses, now wandering around in the lonely snowy nights, at the snowy mountains.

My take on Charlotte as pony. Her mane is also sharp.

I'm sure everyone will treat this function respectfully and not make an epitaph fulls of naughty words.

In case you're wondering, the last words do indeed depend on their roles, including the Spy and the Mule.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Aug 17

STILL debugging 0.13, but doing my best!

One request I heard way back when was for final words from the condemned ponies. We now have these! You also have the chance to speak when it's your neck in the noose and this wisdom is saved for posterity.

I'll look into that idea.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Aug 9

And obviously whatever role puts it forward will always vote yes, even if they didn't propose it that time!

It's learnable - if you see the example here, the Magician is slightly offended at the idea they wouldn't know there was a Changeling about, so mocks the Preacher (this also affects how they feel about each other!). So anyone who is mentioned as objecting will always be a no vote for that proposal.

Oh boy, I love your animations. I love your ponies too, they're show accurate while still having your own individual style. Very cute!

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · Aug 3

A man also died laughing at 70's comedy "The Goodies" as they beat each other with black puddings. The takeaway is that comedy is dangerous and should be banned immediately.
