Hello all! After a long hibernation I'm back with a new installment into my growing game library.
It's name, Galen's Quest.

I'd post some screenshots except that they really don't do it justice.

Note: Loading can take awhile depending on processor speed.

I'd suggest you at least give a tiny explanation of the game (RPG, perhaps? Who knows?) which would be aided by some screenshots. The name alone doesn't immediately make me want to run out and try it or make other comments on it. Pre-alpha? Alpha? Beta? Complete? Come on, you need to make some effort to sell it to me ;)

It's probably the best game I've ever made. You'll enjoy it Spooner, I took quite a bit of inspiration from Wrath.

Sadly Wrath sucks for actual gameplay :/ Hopefully you only stole the style of it!

I took inspiration for how the game makes you feel. I think you'll see what I mean.

Oh, well, that time I'm never getting back ;(

Incidentally:

    (min..max).to_a.sort_by{rand}.pop

could be: 

    (min..max).to_a.shuffle.pop

or even better:

    (min..max).to_a.sample

Though any sensible person would use 1.9.3 and:

    rand min..max

So...... did you like it? :)

Another, hopefully embarrassing, freebie for you after punishing me with the Quest :D

def get_number_range(a, b)
  numbers = [a.round, b.round]
  (numbers.min..numbers.max).to_a
end

Thank you, yes this is actually quite embarrassing. I haven't used ranges all that much yet, and as such, I never think to use them. :P

Looking at lib/lib_alphabet.rb... very off topic, but I was just curious about the font impl :)

You might want to wrap your test script into if __FILE__ == $0 then .... That way it will be run if you execute the file directly, and you don't have to comment it out and back in.
Parent - By chase4926 Date 2012-12-15 04:37
I'm sure the alphabet library could be done much more efficiently, I just wanted a bit more control over the "fonts" I would use in my games.

I waited like ten minutes for this to load, only it didn't load. It got to some Loading: gosu stage (the hell?) and kept resetting on that stage. Tantalizing loading screen though, I was really amped to play a game involving oxygen, aliens and nosferatu, but for some reason it looks like it's not going to happen.

Dude it must have been almost done loading!
You've missed out.

Not to torment you, but here's a sample screenshot.
