Hello, hope that you're still using this account on youtube since this vid is outdated so i would want to ask how long did it take to acquire the knowledge to actually create this game since you first started programming in pygame, and your work is really good it's like the best project ive seen so far made in pygame.

[tgfcoder]

@folip111 Hey, thanks for your comment. Yeah I'm still using this account :) It took me about 3 or 4 years to fully make this game (I had school and other stuff), and I learnt it at the same time as I was learning pygame and classes in Python. Before that I knew basic programming but not really much to make a game. I did make a few small games in python to see what was possible, then once I was comfortable knowing it was possible, I started the big project. Good luck!

@tgfcoder Oh SNAP! This looks amazing... really, great job!  :)

[tgfcoder]

@greytale Thanks :D I'm glad you think so.

[greytale]

@tgfcoder I've just now been playing it... it is indeed awesome! :) Although... I have ver 1.7 and I still got the Frosty Frolic "you cheated" error (it's consistent). LOL

The nice thing is... if I just drink a potion or two, I'm ok and can survive until I can drum up some more health. It's a weird error though--I looked it up, wondering how the heck I was "cheating", heheheh!!

[tgfcoder]

@greytale Haha. Thank you. Yes that bug is caused by a *cough*global*cough* value that isn't reset properly for that particular level. Basically you'll want to finish the level entirely before doing another level and you won't get that glitch. Glad you enjoyed it!

@tgfcoder At 1:51, how did you play multiplayer. Please respond!

And by the way the vid is cool

[tgfcoder]

@LordPbelz Hi there. This is just the tutorial NPC for Pyralis, there was never multiplayer in Ardentryst. Thanks for stopping by!

[LordPbelz]

[qubodup]

Very nice video!

I must have forgotten to comment or didn't notice it :|

[jeffery12108]

how did you make ardentryst downloadable???

[Nikolay116]

is it pygame?

[tgfcoder]

Yep! You can find it on the pygame website =]

[mlhellgatech]

Where did you get this equipment? Can it be your game has only two maps for Nyx?

I really like it, even love it, but if so, it's much too short. And for the equipment... Where the hell do I get this stuff?

[tgfcoder]

There are only two worlds for each character. Both characters have their own starting world, then they go to Snodom. You can buy the equipment from the shops in Snodom. :) Thanks for the comment.

[mlhellgatech]

Yeah, thanks. I noticed the thing with the shops about five minutes after I wrote this comment *blush*

As for the worlds... when I signed up at ur page, I noticed ur trying to create an Ardentryst editor... That would be great! Can't wait to try^^

Keep up the great work, tgfcoder

[tgfcoder]

Hahas well, its sort of a work in progress, that isn't in progress at the moment.. =p

[GrandElemental]

Wow, a very nice platformer, I've been playing all the night! As a game musician myself, I really like the main theme. Harp solo is just awesome. I hope you keep up the good work! =)

[tgfcoder]

Thanks, GrandElemental! I do like the main theme too, but I really need to rework it so it's less cliché :P I hope I can find time to work on the sequel ^__^

[IdioticTendencies]

Hi! Downloaded it, tried it, fell in love with it, registered as an online player. Currently ranked mighty #63 in the world =DD. I will recommend this game to all my friends (there aren't so many but still). Thanks, mate! A great, magnificent piece of programming and a work of art, this game of yours <3.

[tgfcoder]

Thanks so much :D I'm glad you like it!

[tgfcoder]

And now you're fifth ;)
