Wow, I can't imagine how she could survive this, such a cruel situation

Don't worry, she does this every day. She's a pro.

Even if she'd survive where would she go, there are only tops of infinity high flowers that aren't much stable and void underneath

RE: The problems with the camera following Trixie, rather than following the sprite directly you could have the camera only move when Trixie pushes against a certain boundary inside the screen (like Super Mario Bros does it).

So, if your screen resolution is 640x480, for example, you would have an x boundary of, say, 200 horizontal pixels and 150 vertical pixels, and if Trixie moves beyond it, you would move the camera so that Trixy stays inside the box.

This kind of explains it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCIMPYM0AQg

EDIT: well, not exactly, but those are two possibilities you might consider to fix your dilemma.

Yeah I'll be doing something like that (I might have linked that video mysel in the early day of the thread ). The position that the camera behaviour is derived from still needs to be consistent though, otherwise when the sprite position jumps past the camera's boundary, it looks a bit dodgy.

How's this going?

[Ishi]

It's not really at the moment - I've been spending most of my dev time recently on another game. Trixie's still ticking over in my head though.

Thanks for asking - it means a lot to me.

In return here's a pic from a while ago of baby Trixie.

[happymonster]

Well, we are all eager to see the game develop! 

[happymonster]

Have you had any more time to work on this Ishi?

[Ishi]

I haven't, sorry. Apart from Ludum Dare I've just been doing artwork for another project, and that one has to take priority as it's a team thing.

[Ishi]

Did a drawing of Trixie to show I've not forgotten about the game. Sorry for the total lack of progress!

[NemoDev]

Just seeing this now. Totally love how it looks, absolutely up my alley. Great work so far bro, definitely don't leave it like it is! Would be shame

[lastabaka]

I want to believe.

[ANtY]

I want to believe.

I do believe, Ishi's too cool to disappoint us 

[seagaia]

I still believe in the power of the trixie treasure

[rek]

I forgot to keep believing

[Belimoth]

Yes.
