I decided to try to show up Vincent.

In the time since I posted that I have made this:
Current build (July 8th, 2012. Version 5) (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9120262/Blue%20Z%20-%20Border%20Effect.exe)

With the only code I used was an example of a better and simple collision engine consisting of this:
(That is about half of the code in the project however.)

Update:
Apparently Vincent was 'trolling'
Meaning this is my project now.

Uh.
Ok.

Mind = Blown

Hell yeahh  ;D
Works like a charm~

Screenshots? ;D

Sure!
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9120262/BZ-BEscrn1.png)
Also new version, now with chests!
Opened by pressing Z!

Also placeholder coin item, sound, and shadows!

Already better.

The best part is how they explode out of the chest

8.6/10
Best new game

Now with placeholder sign stuff.
And less possible bugs with items clipping through walls (not that they were visible in Ver2)
Also HUD

Keep going!
How about being able to pickup that crate/box, and move it somewhere else :waaagh:

So vincent was 'trolling'.
Does that mean that this is fully my project now?
 :waaagh:

What does it mean when you make a project based on a troll project?
What becomes of the child project?

Well, I'd guess this is an original project now, so keep on rocking!  This has some great potential in the right hands, and you've made some excellent progress so far.

Yep, it means it's all yours!
Congrats~

so kitheif asked me what I've made before and I responded as such:

And I responded with..

But really, what are you plans for BlueZ?
Who is he? Where is he? What pisses him off and needs to die?

Well, he's not staying in the sandy-desert place, that's for sure!

...
Hum, I'll have to think about it. I'll converse with my partner in crime later.

Sounds good, have fun with that part  :beer:

Following this. Besides all of the somewhat weird past behind this project, I like the graphics. The sand could be less 'spray tool in MS Paint' -ish, but it's looking alright so far. Did you want to limit movement to the four main axes a la Pokemon? If not, I think the player should slide around less (Link's movement in the SNES Zelda's more immediate, if I recall).

*Gasp!*
How did you find out my technique!?
That's just the way I'm used to programming. Sudden start/stops irk me when I'm coding it.
When other people do it, it doesn't bother me for some reason.

:lol: That actually made me laugh out loud.

Well, I guess the acceleration and deceleration aren't too slow - just a little faster would make it feel more 'tactile', or something like that.

Ver. 4
Slightly increased friction while on ground
New sign animation
New tiles
Tweaked camera to center it on player while away from borders of screen (not that you could see)
Adjusted bounding box of player, you're slightly thinner and a little shorter according to the game
Water is now actually water rather than a wall.

-Current build- (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9120262/Blue%20Z%20-%20Border%20Effect.exe)

Also,
It makes more sense to float above water when there's land touching you, than to start swimming in dirt when there's water touching yuh.

You might also want to check out Chevy_Rays simple screen resize script, the tiles crack every once in a while.

:P
Problem with this is that the water is an object and the swim code triggers when the player (or any entity) collides
I'll look around for it.

Hmm, I wonder how you would check for a 100% full collide  ??? lol
edit: I'd just make the water through tiles, and offset the water object in the middle of the tiles where collision wouldn't cause land swimming.

Bleeeh but that requires me tinkering the offset for each water object...

More like *room* *grid size 4* *place new water objects* perfect results.
But I'm sure somebody else knows a better way to fix that lol  :P

So, I'm working on a text box this, so that I don't have to use the default GM textbox.

Also, although you won't be able to read it, here's what the sign's portraits will say:

And Ver. 5 is up, with the new textboxes, and some 'guys' in the complex off to the right.

Also, textboxes don't lock you in place... yet.
That may be a hot-fix, so keep an eye out.

Also I patched an invisible hole in the complex's wall.

The new signs are great!
You should really screecap stuff, and save new versions for bigger updates
(Or save it all till a final release, it's upto you) :)

Can you please incorporate overly posed farting enemies into this game? I would love you if you did.

...Uh, sorry that's a screen cap from Red Q which is OBVIOUSLY not Blue Z.
Also, I made a lighting 'engine'
by which I mean there's a dark box over the room which I draw white circles on using surfaces.
I've also worked on weapons a bit, not a whole lot though.

hmm...
Roguelike or story.
Roguelike or story.

decisions decisions.

What was Red Q? Was it related to Blue Z? Sorry for being off on this topic but my curiosity is uncontrollable

It was a game built with a stolen engine and ripped graphics by Vincent Kyle Eusebio AKA GF11221.

When is Green T coming out

Green T - Devlog (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=27083.0)

Roguelike. Always Roguelike.

Did I post this yet?
I can't find it on the devlog.

that's Silver S

Nop, also multiply the lighting please

...multiply?

The game where you stole all art and code to try and fool people.

As for the lights, maybe make them reach further. Also is the red light meant to cover up things it lights?

Not a whole lot I can do about it unfortunately.

If you use a more desaturated color, you'll get less of a 'cover' effect, particularly from the red light. Also, why can't you do anything about the light size?

P.S. Keep up the good work!

Oh no, I can and have altered the light size.
The flames on the flamer get dimmer as they live (Which isn't very long.)

You're nothing but an attention seeking whore. Nothing you've made or will make will be of quality worthy of these forums. You sir are trash :) lol

The new shading makes the old bright colors feel off, but keep it up!

Hey vincent, how do you feel that my project is better than yours was?
I can turn that off and go back to white lighting
(which would also allow me to have rooms be only slightly dark rather than pitch-black like that.

Truthfully I think the lighting should only be used when needed, like dark caves!

Well, duh.
I'm just testing it out right now.

OH, then go with what suits the mood you want the player to have!

 Can I make Yellow R?

We need to have a series of these games
Like Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
Only by entering the codes from the other games can you beat the final boss.

Dibs on "Green B."

Ill take dibs on Brown A

120 days?
Nonsense. Have some sprites of something that may never be

YUSS

RIP Vincent 2012  :beer:

So here's what my idea is:
These four bots are the defense unit of some area of space (Haven't decided on the scale of that yet.)
A hostile group is slowly advancing to the center of that area, and it's up to this group to stop them.

Ava (The purple one) is essentially the navigator of the ship, and is in charge of transporting and routing supplies, or one of the bots, if need be.

Thor (The flying one) performs recon, flying over the land, scanning the land for intel, these are played as their own level, however performing recon takes time, as does transporting him there. There might also be a chance of him alerting the enemies to his presence, which would make the attack/defense portion a bit more difficult (Only if you recon a level with enemies on it though).

Zed (The one based off the original sprite) and Artemis (Red one) are the actual attack portion of the group. Zed being melee and Artemis being ranged.
