This is what i'm doing for the comp. Be warned it is my first time with
isometric oblique* graphics but i'm having lots of fun with this style already. The only thing dragging me down is animating the character. i revised the basic walk animation like 10 times. i wanted animation for every thing, even idle but damn i suck at animating.
As you can probably guess, it's a Side-scrolling Survival Horror. It'll be much like my previous horror game only a bit larger. You play as an adult in this one too. You will get access to more weapons this time and a stricter system for using guns. There will also be a limited inventory system and a storage system for things you are not using. I'm also going to make this game very puzzle based. expect lots of key items and riddles.
And now it's time to talk about Microsoft:I really hate microsoft's hardware. I have tried 2 Xbox 360 Controllers on my computer and they only half-ass work in games. They often disconnect themselves as well which causes games to go ape shit because it thinks you just disconnected hardware. But the worst part of all, i get
the blue screen of death very often when it's plugged in. it can happen:
- when i first plug it in
- when i turn the computer on with it already plugged in
- simply using it during a game
and sometimes, to a lesser extent, if i grab the controller's usb and get close to my computer's usb input, my computer will preemptively shut down.How can a piece of microsoft hardware fail so bad on microsoft software? i've looked this up online and it is
very common. You always hear the same old "solutions" as well. "try reinstalling your drivers, derp" like we haven't already fucking tried that? it's the drivers that causes the crash in the first place, replacing them with the same faulty driver isn't going to help. and than i also see the same people saying to uninstall all these unrelated programs. yeah makes sense.

Are you using wired controllers, or a wireless receiver? Cause wireless is pretty much failproof, I don't know why, but it seems MS can't get the simplest thing (wired controllers) to work right. You'd be better off with a SNES controller than a 360 wired controller, they do wireless best.
Sad but truuuuuuueeeeelol yeah i have a wired controller. i thought about getting the wireless adapter but meh, money i don't wanna spend. i rarely use the thing but i have a habit of keeping them plugged in, which can still lead to crashing even if i don't touch the damn thing. i unplugged it now and hopefully for good. there isn't really any PC games i would use it for, except when i'm playing split-screen games.
I've got a 360 wireless controller; works perfectly, 'cept when it doesn't. But that's more the fault of my USB controller, which is derping.
The game is looking nice… it reminds me of your entry last year; a sequel? Either way, I'll look forward to playing it.I have the wired xbox controller connected to my pc all the time. It works flawlessly on the games that support it. I do want to get a wireless one combined with an adapter to use it with the pc though.
X360 controller and ZSNES all night baby
PS3 controller mapped to an XBOX360 button scheme. (because it's all the same fucking thing.)
