Rats in egypt graves are smarter than expected... maybe...

"Jabba the toad" 

@Cellusious: Ah... finally some color. I like that... tentacle-thing on the topleft. Everything looks a bit raw, though

finally, it's finished. 

Whoohoo, finally more colors than a NES! I hope a mockup will follow!
edit: ok, I saw the mockup one page later.    But ok, what about a 2nd one? 

The colorful pixels come up nicely. Finally something of the bones-style I know from the past. (that's a good thing)   Small quirk: Doesn't the fireball looks down too early? (when it is still moving up) Don't like the main character very much, though. Hey, didn't you want to replace him with a female one? Maybe it's about time...

Sprite flicker test for NES version of game:

Ahhhh!!! "NES version of the game" sounds like a symphony! But "sprite flicker" does not... What about adjusting the enemy AI that they don't move into a row with too many other enemies? Then the flicker is avoided.

Thumbs up for that circle cloud area! 

Paintings of the hills look somewhat raw, still wip?

Nice pixels, but the aren't the movements a bit too fast? I am getting a dizzy while watching... 

@mrseguin:    hi, everything's fine, thanks. I am still working on the project. But there is nothing groundbreaking new to see. Maybe some tests for a new status display: (and 2 peeps)

I gave it a try because it looked promising, but...
- only fullscreen?
- no system user interface?
- no linux?

The graphical style comes out really well. If you still have a potential port to a real NES in your mind, you may want to align your texts properly to the 8x8 tile matrix. Here's what I mean:


I hope I can see some gameplay action soon, keep it up! 

Uh... gorgeous screenshots! I hope a gameplay video with light effects is coming soon.

Great... Except that white outline. Try to get rid of it!

So here's a mockup of potentially possible NES version of this game:

Possible NES version? yeah! (would you do it yourself?) following... Screenshots look excellent, keep it up!  

Excellent in style and smoothness, except that "double-jump", this looks really odd I think.
Where can I read more about this project?

cool trailer! 

Oh, thanks for the link, Arachne.


Here's a first test of the Lazycow-shader:
- The pixel colors blend a bit to the neighbour pixel (horizontal only)
- colors are tweaked a bit for a pseudo-dotmask
- for zoomed display, there're scanlines

@zachstronaut: The leveldesign is a challenge. And my weak point. We will see...

@mrseguin: Trust me, you don't want to hear me talking in english. (My english teachers are still suffering) But I would write.a script if George Clooney would do the talking...
