I'd say that the main stuff in the hold is 4-5 brains. It's easier than KDD, I'd say, which is 5 brains.
I didn't actually check before, and you're right. If KDD is 5 brains, I would definitely score GatEB 4-5 brains as you did. The extra content is probably 6-7.

No, but it will be possible to implement this using walls.

From the "Bishop stays on its color" standpoint, yes, but if there were places where you shift which "color" were on by standing on a non-diagonal-only square, and get on a different set of diagonals, you couldn't very well move through said walls.

Guys seriously no Diagonal versions of Orthosquares? Wasn't that like logical progression suggestion number one after Gel and Adders or something?

Are the Tarstuff rooms sufficently gloopy? And evil?

UGH SORRY. I've recently been instructed that humor is forbidden, so I'm working on being understanding while everyone catches up with the memo.

Regarding tarstuff - this really depends on whether we're talking about GatEB or TFMurphy's SmS that comes with it.

So Mike was talking about 4 big major projects:

1) DROD 4: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder
2) Flash DROD
3) TFMurpy's SmS?
4) "The 4th Big Project"

Is this correct?
and if yes, any hints/clues for number 4

in this thread and his illumination he does mention 1-3 of those projects and TSS. So I'd say that those would be the 4 projects.
Did you want there to be yet another DROD game on top of that?!

1-3 are pretty much done (as you can see by the bar). TSS would be the next project.

Will the game be actually preorderable without arranging special treatment? Seeing as the payment processor is down... right after I got money for it set up too...

Sorry, I'm working on that.

Here go my questions, that well, it's just curiosity.

What is the main hold called, the same that the game?
How many time did you take to make this game?
Finally,if all the levels are made, what level do you think will be the hardest?.

Yes, the main hold is called Gunthro and the Epic Blunder.

That is the main hold that is installed with DROD4. Just as TCB came with the 3rd DROD engine, JtRH came with the second and KDD came with the first (if we leave aside webfoot).
But, as has been mentioned, there is also a seperate hold by TFMurphy that'll be made available as a bonus to anyone buying DROD4.

It's taken over 3 years to develop, as Mike said earlier.

"If all the levels are made"? What do you mean? They are all made - the game's almost ready for release.

The hardest is probably either the last one or the post-mastery one. Edit: Actually, the raygun level's possibly harder, as aiming it is quite tricky.

Which official holds do you suggest playing before playing GatEB?

Heh... :no

I'm not mad at you - it'd be a ton of work to get set up with a new processor, and with GatEB coming out, now's really not the time for a project like that. I'm just frustrated that I can't give you money and get an awesome game! (Well, a preorder for an awesome game... :lol)

That'll be the first thing I do with the new engine... I think I might have built something a while back that worked, at least a little bit. I'll go look for it later tonight.

I've been really curious as to how the player could be the deciding factor in that room without it being far too precise. I'm probably just looking at it too narrowly...?
