Nice. It looks like you're generating edge tiles, but maybe it'd work better if you had a larger selection of tiles to draw from, and maybe expand it to checking a 3x3 array to determine what tile to put in a given spot?
I currently just start with an perfect 16x16 squares and then apply a variation of ChevyRay's map making algorithm and some smoothing. I feel like it would be more fun and explorey if you could see less of the cave at any time, either with fog or something, or just using a smaller screen / bigger tiles.
I designed it to be used as an overhead means, but I guess with proper configuring it works both ways.
I've been working on a platformer cave generation algorithm for a while, but none has worked as well as yours. |

Helping Psyguy with something, although I haven't shown him yet so this is still unofficial.
Hopefully I can get more frames for the walkcycle, feels a bit clunky with just three.
Some nice work there.  The test animation looks okay to me. |

It's a maze you have to traverse by way of stepping onto squares with RGB values which correspond to the one on which you currently stand by a single binary difference.

I'm... confused. Are the edge tiles almost exclusively white, or are the gray tiles on the edge trying to escape the Matrix?
...Sorry, I didn't originally intend for that to become a pun. It just turned out that way.

 None of you know what any of this means.  Tetris for the colorblind? |

looks good, but i think your movement engine needs a little speeding up. it had a mario 2 feel to it (american mario 2 not lost levels) the entire time the player was moving I just wished he was moving faster. also I assume he will have a "I am carrying something" sprite.

Yeah, there's a run button but I wasn't using it. Do you think I should speed up the basic walking speed? Oh, and I'm working on the other animations like carrying and such...

yeah I think you should or maybe even do a thing like mario has of acceleration where the player starts at oen speed, and then moves up to another speed, until they hit max, and possibly animations for each one. I feel that this game can just be speedrun, and they only thing holdign the player back now is the speed. if the levels were fuller. then I might see the speed, but in this game where you are runnign and jumping I think a little bit fast might help.
one thing you can try is take your character speed and make a little test level, and then add in a small bit of code. where while you are running around you can hit like plus and minus to change his top speed. if you can change those on the fly in the engine, it makes tweaking so much easier.

That was intended to be a joke, but I guess it wasn't very funny.  |

 Actually, I was inspired by night game and another siluet games for graphic style.

I'm just hoping that a silhouette style doesn't become synonymous with Night Game. I'd had a short silhouette segment planned for a game a few years ago, but I'm kinda becoming afraid to use it...
But then, I suppose one shouldn't worry about drawing comparisons between other games and just focus on making a good game...
Anyway, looks nice so far, imwill.
