Alrighty then, it seems one weekend turned into two. Sorry but my real life has been a bit challenging and has distracted me from this little passion project. With the passing weeks I spent making this little demo, I slowly learned how to make my levels a bit more pleasing to the eye. What I did was learn to add more details to my sprites, tiles and backgrounds. Now my games look way better then they did a few months ago. I remember the original Square games. They may have looked really good to me back then but now I can see just how far I have come.
Uploaded with ImageShack.usI'm just realizing that Kyle is about 5 years oldIn this little demo, I am testing the basic gameplay. Here kyle has all of his basic attacks like double jumping and throwing his yoyo (now a sheild). But by pressing down, he can block incoming attacks. If you time it right you can deflect projectiles. I have also added the princesses AI. She can traverse the level more easily and can jump gaps. I hope to improve the AI to a point where you use A* pathfinding, but so far it works fine.DEMOX = attackZ = jumpDown = block
Its funny how Kyle get such attention from me. It almost makes me feel sorry for his friends.
Ronnica loves voice acting, but she doesn't have much of a mic. Also, I don't know if any of you have actually heard her. Her voice is quite high-pitched, so if Lana was more of a child, then she might be more suitable.
Also, nice page stretching, Mazi. My "Post" button is so far that I have to scroll to find it.Y'know, after all this time, you think I would've come up with a character by now. I don't think I have a single game with a named protagonist, except one LudumDare game (Constatine Sucks).
As a side note, all the squares are (in the game universe) less than 16 years old. But they live in a commune away from their parents (with the exception of Kyle, who has none) and even have jobs.
Since all the characters are young, it is possible for Ronnica to voice all the squares@KilinThat reminds me, is there a tag attribute to shrink images? I could just upload the picture to imageshack but….actually I will just do that.Is Kyle Adam searching for his Eve?
From his perspective, yes.
From Lanas' perspective, he is the scum of the earth and must be purged!That last screenshot is too epic for it's own good xD
Nice, runs smooth, although his weapon is pointless, it just slows you down.
I figured I came to the end when everything started going 13th Floor on me.Are you supposed to be able to out run her?Also very nice level graphics.THIS IS A TEST, I WILL ADD MOST OF THE MISC CODE LATER!
The idea is either to catch up with the princess and inflict enough damage to knock her out, or to make it to the exit before she does. The player cannot die, but can be slowed down by obstacles and the princess’s weapons. If the princess reaches the end of the castle (shown by her icon on the top of the screen) she will blow up the castle, causing a game over screen.
