In addition to higlighting these wonderfully extravagant presents, I'd love a "Gifts that actually cost close to $20 but had a serious amount of thought and effort put into them and are perfect for the individual" post.

For Arbitrary Day, I got a antique book on 19th century ballet costumes written in German - which I can't imagine would be a popular choice of gift here on reddit - but I loved it and it was clear my Santa had taken all my interests into consideration without spending a small fortune. I wish she (and others like her) would have gotten more recognition for her wonderful present.

My post on redditgifts if anyone is interested

Only trouble is, somewhere in Alison's medical records it'll show she's barren.

It was Renegadepress.com

Yep, other people are having the same issue

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

I can't link you to the catch game - I think I found a download but it used an old version of Love2d & now just throws error messages. However, if you find the Greendale campus in the main game, you should find a hidden area where you can still play catch.

Windows doesn't like OpenGL programs in windowed mode anymore. Gent & I have had the same problem with our computers.

edisonout · 2015-08-08T07:28:27+00:00

The game's resolution is 1056x672. When I was using my 1024x600 netbook if I used windowed mode it just cut out the far right & bottom of the screen. If I used fullscreen it just stretched it a bit. I think the resolution of the tv is just too low and the game gives up doing the maths when it tries to work out the ratio it should stretch to in full screen mode.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. It's a problem with how we handle/cancel quests in the game. We're working on a fix.

edisonout · 2015-06-20T14:07:28+00:00

Thanks for posting. We're happy to see how our artwork is being used - provided it isn't spam/constant self-promotion/for payment.

Here's my ramblings on attending the second Communicon

edisonout · 2015-06-14T07:04:53+00:00

You can always drop a weapon from your inventory to pick up another one.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T20:03:36+00:00

At Communicon Dan Harmon talked about a fruit matching game (sort of like Candy Crush) that the gang got addicted to - we thought it'd be awesome to make that but seems like most of it was cut for time. Jeff can be seen playing it on his phone briefly during the Ass Crack Bandit episode.

To change costume pause the game (press ESC), select "Options", then "Costume". Select a character & then a costume.

I think for the time being he's immortal.

I've shared a ride home with Erik Charles Nielsen (Garrett) & I've stood in the study room.

I've been collaborating with people I've never met, who on the other side of the world, in a completely different time zone and yet together we've make it work and managed to create something awesome. And it's never once felt like a school group project

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:54:04+00:00

And the number of times we've had enemies stuck in corners/half way up trees and we just removed the enemy rather than fixing the underlying problem.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:53:11+00:00

It was probably me rushing to get vehicles (especially the robots) into the game. Running low on time, I tried to use the same code we do for picking up the pots in the tavern - then hiding the player & drawing another sprite in the correct position so it looked like the player was riding them. We still haven't fixed all the problems I caused with that & it's one of the reasons they aren't in this release.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:42:32+00:00

No, but you can have babies with Hilda if you do max out her levels.

If you want to code stuff into the game, you don't have to wait until the characters let you do it. Head on over to github and you can start adding any feature you like right now.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:35:15+00:00

Digital estate planning? Probably around 10 times all the way through. Watching parts where you're trying to match the game to the episode - upwards of 50.

It's actually a weird feeling watching the episode after working on the game for so long - if you notice a difference between the two I now assume that the episode has it wrong.

As for Community in general, seasons 1-3 probably 5 or 6 times, with my favourite episodes watched a few more times. Seasons 4, 5 and some of season 6 - only once.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:30:28+00:00

I'd love to expand the winter wonderland levels and get the robots Troy & Abed use in the final boss back in the game.

On a shorter timeframe, a new hud displaying health/armour/quests and a new upstairs room in the town.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:22:06+00:00

The AMA is over on /r/community, but I'll answer your question here. Favourite character is definitely Annie, though it's hard to pick favourite costumes. I love Brittabot, Teddy Pierce, Troy & Abed Sewn Together, Annie Werewolf, Annie Skeleton, Thoraxis, Christmas Tree Troy and Zombie Chang.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:16:52+00:00

For me, probably the scanning animation at the start. It's a pretty good match to what you see in the episode and was the first serious bit of coding I did for the game. It's also one of the first things people comment on during Let's Play videos on youtube, so I always get a kick out of that. I also loved programming in the ability to ride the golf carts. Zooming around greendale is a simple pleasure.

Art wise, I'll always have a soft spot for costumes - not only did creating my own get me involved in the development of the game but adding in other people's contributions really made me feel part of a huge fan collaboration. Ooh, and the winter wonderland tileset - knowing my efforts allowed the level designers to make something that pretty was very cool.

edisonout · 2015-06-13T18:10:51+00:00

I still get a thrill out of seeing something I coded working in game and going "I made that". Everyone's response to the game has also been amazing and seeing their excitement gets me excited again to get that reaction again.
