As horrible as this:  Eh, Ptoing?  EDIT: Also, I quite like the C64 look there.  |

Sorry, the graphics really looked like they could be in a C64 game to me.. |

The dithering does indeed look nice when it's moving. It's still a bit messy if you set the whole room to half brightness ambience, for example, but I imagine that's an unlikely case  |

happymonster: long time you played something on a C64, eh?
Ishi: Ambience is just something Graham put in there because he could. It is unlikely to be ever used for anything else than a room being faded in and out of for a bright flash which then fades back or something like that. Darker room = smaller light circle around player.

Yup, 'zackly. Although it might be interesting to try it with randomised grain for the ambient. |

Might, but I expect it would look more odd than anything.

Progress Update (for Monday, as I've felt like shit ever since): Added linking/tying of entities. Linking basically allows very simple logic flow to be put into the game easily. Effectively you link one entity to another (like a switch to a platform) and the link itself contains data which says which settings of the platform it enables/disables as a bitflag and whether they're altered permanently or just while you're in the room. This means to save the state of 95% the game, all I have to do is save a single integer for each entity instead of having differing save functions by entity. Lovely. Ties are just physical ties. Like if you have a turret-style enemy you can stick it to a platform's underside so it tracks with it. Next up: Um, ooh, not sure. |

Player entity is already there, as a pink block. I am not in my normal workspace atm since there are renovations going on. But once I am back and have proper space I will start to do some concept art for monsters and of course the player as well. For now Mr. Magenta will have to do. Animation/Enemy editor? Big Scanline mockupTho our scanlines probably wont look as funky as Graham does not feel like shaders :B (can't blame him) |
