Again didn't want to continue on an old thread .......

We don't need it today. But now that we're adding all these features that allow games to be longer, I think it'll be almost required. Think of how useful it woulda been on Wal*Mart, JFP, etc.

Heck, with the new var changes we're talking about, these games are getting more and more complex ... you could make an entire "leveling-up" system by fighting badbuys, staying in innes, etc, all with a small handful of pages.

If anyone can think of a battle system they should make a game about it telling them how it works.  Then Alex will be notified via this message board and others will be too.  Alex could use this info to make the advanced editor have an option where it already is made.  You just have to find a way to make it random.  You know, the replay effect.  So far there is only two or three games where the replay effect comes in.  Another is going to be made by karacan hopefully.  That is all.

Well yes, but I can't think of one.  There is no equation too let the DEF. stat come in handy.  The formula I thought of isn't full proof either.  You could gain HP from the attacker if your Def. is higher than there atk.

The save feature would be great for JFP.  What would happen if you clicked back after a save or on the first page?

Good question. There would be no way of bringing back when you load a save game.

It's actually your web browser that "remembers" the game state (just like it remembers every other page you visited in teh session).

I tried it (looking for bugs) and nothing happened.  It is like the link was never pushed.

The back button on the first page.  You could get rid of it but there is no nessicary reason.  Nobody clicks it I think?

Oooh okay i get it. It'd probably be a waste of time to remove ... it's part of an image, etc ... and I suppose if you did end up using it on the first page, you wouldn't expect to get anywhere anyways.

There was talk about letting authors choose to restrict the back button, but those never went anywhere.

Saving game feature would be nice. That way the game, if long, doesn't need to be played in a long session. You could take a break.

In a family of four (One Parent and Three Kids) this would help a ton. This site should get a new look every 5 years you know that. Keeps members interested in graphics.

I may add this soon. As far as the look/design of the homepage/site ... i'm getting some help from a graphic designer sometime in the near future (as part of the GROWTH effort).

You are right (Of Course) growth is a ton more important than anything. Here is a priority Chart.

You have finished a round of Advanced Features Updates (Varibles)
You have finished a Forum Update (New Forums)
You have finished a round of Advanced Features Updates (Items and Link Res.)
You are currently in a round of Comunity Updates (Misc. Updates + MAG Pts.)
Next comes a growth round. (Get more Members)
Then Advanced Features. (Battle Systems)

That is about it.

The date this was made it wasn't important ,but today 2.5 months later it is! We have games like Cryptode, Walmart, The Cave, Mattias, and JFP. We need it and that is final.

Also you could implement this with the My Stuff upgrade.

We need it so that we can control the timer. Like from area a to area b you need to get there in 2 minutes. Then you won't need it for 5 chapters and you have total time is under 15 minutes you get 500 extra points for the game.

Yeah me neither. This is a fun little feature to add, anyway. There's some annoying bits & pieces (such as having to make a few new screens), but I've already started on it. FYI, some of the rules will be

- unpublishing a game wipes out all saves (yet another reason not to unpublish!)
- only one save per game (that's a usability thing, I believe more would be too confusing for users)
