Will moonman have any public demo (soon)?
My current plan is to have an alpha done by April. I'll put a call out for testers around then. It'll run on windows and mac. |

Yea, I drew it. Thanks  np, his wang is kinda freaking me out tho... Yea, I kind of reached that area for clean up and thought of doing the usual, alien pelvis, but then I saw it looked like a little wang so I decided to leave it this way.  |

@kamac Are you addicted to facepalming? Can I try it? Ooh yeh that felt good... moonman is the biggest game I've ever made so far, I'm working quite hard on it (roughly 3 full days a week), and I think April is a very tight deadline for a playable, non-annoying, and, most importantly, fun, alpha. |

This looks amazing! I Iove the Ascii-art style. Looks like it takes a lot of inspiration from Minecraft, Terraria, etc.?

Thx, those are the main influences, although I've always wanted to build an open world game focused on building and exploration since I was 15 or so (15 years ago!). I think there's heaps more we can do in this space, and moonman is my little take on the genre. |

Update: Input->physics->sprite chain is now linked up. Here's a minicap of me running around, changing weapons and heads. It's almost starting to feel like a game ...

Update: Worked on sky rendering today. Sky changes colour depending on the time of day. Stars are visible at night and rotate on the planets celestial axis. Click image for animation.
 Edit: Oh I should also mention that I'm taking a week off next week. So MM will be on hold for then.

Ok, I lied, I couldn't resist doing a bit of moonman coding today, but I'm definitely leaving tomorrow morning, so then, no more updates for a week. Update: Today I got to code a bit, so added a background layer, it has few layers with parallax scrolling, and blends in with the sky to model atmospheric scattering/fog. The mountains are just placeholders at the moment, and my intention is to have different background scenery depending on your location, so snow biome will have snowy mountains, etc. Click image for youtubes video! |

My only gripe is that mountains should not be higher up on the screen the farther back they are. They should either be smaller or lower. assuming all mountains are of the same height of course. But as it is it just looks awkward.
I like it though.

I don't see the problem – foothills are lower and closer than the taller, farther, mountains. The alternative is putting low mountains behind tall mountains, which you'd hardly see. |

Well that's just one way to look at it. I made that judgement on the assumption that all the mountains were supposed to be relatively the same height. Also, if they were foothills I don't think they would point like that  Anyway, like eigenbom said, they're just placeholders. |

If mountains are at the same height, then the mountains on the background should be the highest, but they still need to conform to normal perspective.
Let's say the following set is the peak height of the mountain in screen space relative to the center of the screen, from the closest to the farset. Then the set should be something like:
-2, -1, -2/3
Or in other words:
h - Closest mountain screen space height.
d - distance between two adjacent mountains(in z)
Then,
y_i = h/(1+i*d);
The point is, both screen space world space x and y should be scaled by 1/z, where x and y are numbers relative to the screen's center. And z is the distance from the 'camera', either in world space or some normalized distance value.
This is out of my head, I hope I didn't make any mistake. Maybe others can elaborate.
Edit: Sorry, actually x, y and z should be in world space.
