Paul, I just wanted you to know that we all think you're doing a great JOOOOEEERRROOEEERRROOOOEEERRRB!

(And am I the only one who will get this?)

[MegaManFan]

Homestair.
Hampster?
Hamstar.
Ham sandwich?

Oh I get it, not to worry.

Either that or 'Homsar' hands you a Giraffe.

Anyone know how the game will be offered?
Boxed? Loose? Coice of either or?
This definately looks to be a must have game.
I wonder how long it'll be before a help guide is published?

It's not a bug, it's a feature!  I noticed that too and I was wondering if anyone else would stumble across it.  Although if I isolated and controlled the bug, it could make for some cool level design.

Wouldn't it though?

I love it!

This game should be pretty cool! Any chance of the HomeStar voice saying something like "HomeStar Runner RPG" on the title screen?

I'd guess no. I'm not the expert, but Paul's going to be packing this one pretty tight as it is if he sticks with 32K (or even if he goes to 64 to add a few mini games) and for a "bweevabul" Homestar voice it would have to be a long and deep encoding. Plus working it in just adds another layer of unnecessary complexity - having to write in the code for it, blank the screen just to process it, and pray the screen doesn't roll when you switch back. It was a nice stunt for Berzerk VE and decently cool in Quadrun and Open Sesame but I really think it should end there.

[calamari]

You're probably right.. but the unique voices are some of the fun of the characters, so if it can be worked in, it should be.

Huh? What are you, an HTML snob?

No, I'm just fed up with Flash ads, so I have the tags disabled and I don't have the plug-in installed.
