Im sorry to hear about your uncle. I hope you got the visa.
Thank you, Im sure your knowledge will help others in the same need of breakout-like games.
Thank you sir. Your review are very much appreciated.
I think i have spent about one work year on MadCowBalls2 but it was and is always a learning process for me as i am a amateur. There have been times where i just spend one day or two back tracking and trying to understand why a feature isnt working as expected, some times to the point were i just scrap a feature and start all over.
Thank you. I might come back with a new game later on.
Thank you. I may have a small issue with keeeping my scope small (Just one more thing...).
Great feedback. I will try to add a minimap or something else to make it easier in the next game of this type.
I tried some random elements to the map aswell but its limited. The walls have 4 settings (32pix chunks) for a small variation. Stones have 32 and bushes 7 + random scaling.I played a lot, a lot and maybe more Diablo2 when i grew up. I want to create a game with elements from D2 but at this time i there is too many things i dont understand how to do.
I have been using Clickteam (Klick and Play, The games Factory, Fusion, Fusion 2.0, Fusion 2.5), Game maker, C++(textbased game) and Qbasic.
I am not a good programmer but i have a bit of understand. There are a lot of extensions made by the community and as of later years not so many bugs. I few years ago i could stop working on a project because it was toobig and had too many bugs digging too deep into the core game mechanics. You could argue that my current project, MadCowBalls2 is half a game and half a framework to support most 2d games.
At the moment im using Clickteam Fusion 2.5, BTV Solo and Gimp. If someone want some help with something in any of the Clickteam applications mentioned above im happy to help out.
Hi,
Im in need of translation from english to italian. I tried to reach you on twitter but was unable to send a private message. The game in mind is MadCowBalls2, released on Steam and the free version on itch.

Hi,
Im trying to understand if a bug is gone or not and could use some help with testing it. A few players have reported that the game doesnt start, the launcher get unresponsive. I cannot reproduce the bug in the current version of the game but before patch 2.3 i got it myself when losing focus on the window when the launcher started up.
Would you like to give it a try? Feel free to test any other part of the game aswell if you want to.

Add this key TEBY7-PZXTA-YJHRX at "Games/Activate a product on Steam" (Top of the screen in the Steam Client).

Hi again.
Instead of searching for MadCowBalls2 "Start Safe mode(No game launcher)" you can use (marked in red). I didnt think of this workaround before and it will also be easier if someone else faces the same issue. Stats that make you complete Cow Progress and Steam Achievements will still be saved.

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience. There was a bug that i fixed in patch 2.3, unresponsive launcher. Its also possible to launch the game without the launcher (Search for MadCowBalls2.exe). It had something to do with the window being out of focus the first 2 seconds. If you have the patch you will be able to resize the window and the launcher should scale up or down, just as the playable game.
Thank you and i hope this solves the issue. I will send an email aswell.

Hi,
Thank you. This game (MadCowBalls) doesnt seem to work as expected on my own computer. I will likely add most of the feature and graphics to the MadCowBalls2 as a game mode or upgrade path.
MadCowBalls2 had a bug in the launcher. If you had problem when unresponsive launcher you may try again. Its also possible to launch the game (Search for MadCowBalls2.exe) without the launcher.
My friend code on Steam is 52198326. Feel free to add me. I wish the arcade cabinets would come back. I missed the era as im too young.
Sadly you have to pay the same amout to lancuh a DLC, Soundtrack, Demo or a full game on Steam. I think that may be the main reason why there are so few free gams on Steam.
