looks cool, although i hope the sound effects are just placeholders, the little chiptune blips don't match the visual style at all.

[airman4]

Hey

Yeah i see what you mean
It's depends
I use a soft wich help me to make sound effect

The problem is that it's chiptune retro oriented

I didnt found a "normal" sound effect maker yet.

Don't know if you get what i mean.

Game done !

The demo can be played here

http://www.kongregate.com/games/airman4/star-and-light-1-0-demo

Thanks very much for those who gave feedback and comments.

Soon , the link to the final game and such.

Just a bit of visual feedback: I'd genuinely recommend including a "run start" animation, especially with your character accelerating this slowly from the standing pose.

Currently, it looks like her dress is flowing in the wind the second you tap the forward key, which is a bit distracting and ruins the good run cycle, feeling-wise.

All the best for this!

[airman4]

You are totally right dude

I was thinking about that but never be able to succed this.

I'll ask to the people who created stencyl how to do this

I have a very low level in true programming , meaning i'm far from guys like you , too far.

edit
by the way your art is crazy good.
My next big game could be a game like your sig , with a character and dialogues and stuff.
I wanted to post in your thread but i saw a warning (120 days etc) so i prefer told you here.

Hi Airman, long time no see. 

Some feedback:

 1. there is too much stuffs in the interface, it makes graphic "noise"; also too much text; and too much shortcuts. Use contextual menus instead.
 2. the installer is evil, it tries to force you to install tons of bullshit applications - please use another installer next time. As it only download the swf file anyway, I would recommand to use Air OR to just put the swf somewhere in a zip file. There are tons of free hosting websites that don't force you to install software.
 3. is it your first game? if it is, well done!
 4. There is a lot of graphic problems, like squares not aligned. Not sure what is the problem.
 5. The ambiance is cool.
 6. Why does the main character transform to a star when falling???
 7. I'm not sure I understand the goal of each scene. Is it to touch all the blue grounds?
 8. I didn't have performance problems, even in full screen.

So there is a lot of beginner mistakes, but I think you really are in the good direction.
Keep it up!

Ho , j'avais pas vu ce message , bon tu comprendra quand tu lira ma reponse en mp^^

thanks dude

1 yeah i heard that from another player
I'll keep that on note , thanks !

2 how did you get the game ?
because you can get the swf alone by clicking save as on the rectangle download stuff
That kind of site have several weird link , i dont understand why they do that
Normally , there is no installation , if you have flash, you get the file and you play directly.

3 Not really my first game , my second , my first was a little demo game with a hero wich was able to go through the walls.

4 You means tiles design ? Some room are symetrical while some other are not
I was thinking that a old temple should have weird organisation in the background , not always symetrical , so i tried to modify a bit
if it's something else , i dont get exactly.

5 thanks!

6 It's the visual signature of the heroine , she is not really human in fact
We can say that she come from the stars in the sky...
The idea was to animate a falling star move ! It was pretty cool in the rend , so i kept it.

7 What you call blue ground ?
The purpose of the game is to light up the platform in order to progress
If you jump twice on the same platform you die
I had hard time to explain because it's not a common way of video game.
The purpose can be modified through the game , so if there is a card with info , read it !

8 Cool !

Thanks !

I can explain for the Massive HUD , for me it was too much but apparently it was wrong
I did this because i was thinking the player would never use Pause to check the items , so placing all items at the time was a good idea
Now that explain why people use menus, sorry for that.

[airman4]

Hi all !
Up because the game is playable free here !!!

Please dont hesitate even if it's hard

ANyway , my last art for 2012 is for star and light ! a promo art of Merak , one of the characters of the game



Enjoy
Hope you'll love it and happy new year all!
best wishes for 2013 !

[eigenbom]

That's really great artwork dude!

[airman4]

thanks a lot eigenbom !

[airman4]

Hi !
I've made a website for the game

I'll try to add some new stuff on the site again but it's pretty complete now

You can get the whole game freely there too

http://hermannkayode.wix.com/star-and-light/



and a video of mixed gameplays




Sorta a trailer lol.

[airman4]

Hi
A new update
The game has been selected for Indie game Festival of starsbourg , 7th edition
Apparently more than 120 games were submitted (it's nothing compared to IGF but IGF is a big for me )
http://strasbourgfestival.com/festival/categorie-jeux.php?id=137

It's star and light 1.0 (my first really completed game ) of course

Nothing crazy but always give more motivation and good mood in that whole craziness.

(i need to find a sexier pic for the website  )

[airman4]

I upload this thread years after since i'm developping the 1.1 version of the game




I plan 40/50 fps for 900 pixel large and 600 one , close to 720 (but quite far in fact -_-)

I plan to improve the animation

But it's very hard with stencyl


I plan to add some more stuff but not many , it's mostly a remaster of 1.0 with easier gameplay !

[airman4]

Currently doing some 2d heavy work



I hope adding a second costume for the heroine in-game , wich means animating another character properly
-_-

[airman4]

New costume of Adhara the main character , i'll have to animate



It was fast to design since it's based loosely on a character the heroine will meet when you beat the game

I made it kind of luminous

Hope it will work
It's not the official costume , but a bonus in-game

I'm Happy , quite happy , i hope finish the remaster for steam quite soon , i wont say a date

I also will make a video demonstration with the second costume

My internet connexion sucks , hope it will be enough to upload the game on steam

Flash seems dead according to people , i'll need to release the game on other format than swf then.

[gimymblert]

cool stuff!

[airman4]

Too bad you seems the only one interested in my stuff here lol
Anyway thanks

Some gifs
I changed colors , to make it more clear for the player in the field



Her scarf black was hard to distinguish in the background

[gimymblert]

continue, stuff can take time to picked up, also the gameplay is also a bit "plain" but that's your first games too
