NAL Is Alive is alive
An update for NAL Is Alive is now out, which fixes the issues that prohibited the Launcher from working as intended.
NAL Is Alive now also contains five more games:
- Gossamer Girls: a low-resolution procedurally generated dungeon crawler where you harvest silk from spiders and hunt down upgrades to keep yourself alive
- Britskrieg: take control of four plucky Britons in a bid to take over the world at the behest of the Queen
- Ink Idiom: the full version of the paid game, solve over 300 visual puzzles that lead to common idioms, sayings and turns of phrase
- Rev%lver: take control of a gun with a weird habit of wasting ammunition if you answer percentage-based trivia questions too inaccurately
- Jasmine Laslo – Switch U On: fall for an MLM music streaming service which only has one song available – the owner’s daughter’s – generating a million plays for her incessantly terrible song
The highscores are currently misbehaving, but I wanted to get a version out that AT LEAST makes the compilation work to a fundamental degree again.
I believe an apology is owed, as well. For the time NAL Is Alive took for me to create, it didn’t exactly set the world on fire (infact it lost us money through the fact I spent time on it and not on more fruitful things) so I definitely wasn’t enthusiastic to continue working on it. Unfortunately, working on it becomes a little more pressing when it decides it’s just going to up and die.
Fixing it has been exacerbated by a number of issues – the launcher’s file relies on a specific extension to actually run the games of NAL Is Alive, and for some reason, versions of GameMaker released since I last worked on NIA shot the extension dead. It is only thanks to the extremely helpful YellowAfterlife, and his extension that I found could swap it out without a world of hassle, for me being able to get the launcher working again THIS soon. (The error that broke the launcher in the first place was not the result of any update and I genuinely have no idea why it suddenly turned from “not existing” into “broadly problematic”.)
So I’m really sorry it’s taken this long. I’m writing this at 2:15am on a Saturday night (well, Sunday morning) resuscitating this dumb compilation, and I hope the few of you that care about it are now able to play it, enjoy it, and play around with it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience, I don’t deserve any of you. If this kind of error ever happens again I’m going to hit it with a big stick and possibly cry or something.
