A necessary release of the stipple-ache that someone else's work induced in me.

Signifier

A short concept-game I did over the past two days.

windows (~2MB)
osx 10.5+ (~2MB)
source (~100KB)

(edit: bug rendered it unfinishable; should be fixed now)
(EDIT: BSOD error some vista users experienced should be fixed now)

    Sorry to hear that. One other person reported this as well. I’ll look into it, but I’m not sure what’s causing it…

    thanks for letting me know, though.

    Hey. That was good. There is just not enough Lacan in videogames at the moment. Or is it structualism? I can’t remember, what to do with a english lit degree eh?

    Good stuff.

    hey, kevin; i’m sorry to hear it doesn’t work on osx 10.4 (i take it you’re on an intel machine?).

    Maybe if you could let me know what is in the mirror stage.crash.log file I could see what maybe I could fix (though in general I don’t bother with supporting osx 10.4).

    Also, for any windows people whose machine this currently crashes on: if any of you would be willing to help me figure out where this bug is and run a special debug version (that would quite likely result in the same bsod happening again, but with information left behind as to where things went wrong, hopefully letting me know where to fix it) I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

    Meh, the game was boring, too complicated, and overall sucked.

    uh, yeah, i can’t get past the U-shaped level. i draw a U shape, and i can’t “end the conversation” space bar does noting, down key/left key don’ do anything, i’m just stuck, and have to end the game(it pissed me off to the point where i sent it to the recycle bin)

    FWIW, I gauge it unlikely that there are any bugs.
