mansion is temporary now, but the placeholder model gives a general idea of the size/layout.

Holy crap, Seasons. Loving the effect.

I'm walking on sunshine, woah oh oh!

[JMickle]

tried out a lighting thing, but i wont keep it. also pictured: the shotgun.

[DustyDrake]

Aw but that looks cool, especially if hid enemies too.

[JMickle]

My main problem is getting it run at a proper fps, so I'm looking into some kind of prebaked lighting for atmosphere

Here's a great resource for this sort of thing:

  why u switch(also nice art)

thanks, he's from ludum dare 23.

I might go back to c++ for another project, but I like how accessible flash is.  I think more people would be willing to try out and give feedback on my current project, it also seems more suited for the browser.

edit: I was thinking for my current project of being able to deform the terrain.  looking at nape, there's a marching squares class, that takes a bitmap as input and generates a polygon.  so I'm thinking if I can remove regions of the bitmap I'll be able to implement terrain deformation.

edit: oh there's an example

He's quite chipper

I was 'pixel-doodling' simple rpg concepts with 8x8 tiles, inspired by JTR's Crypts of Despair (which uses 10x10 tiles) and turned my graphics into a silhouette by accident. I've been having the urges to make several different types of adventure games, ranging from stuff as simple as Adventure for Atari 2600 to roguelikes to something a bit more advanced than Legend of Zelda for NES.

I know that one of the lessons in character design is that a character should be recognizable by its silhouette. I find it quite interesting that it can even work with a sprite that fits within 8x8 pixels. You can tell the player obviously has a sword and what appears to be a shield.

I'm not sure I'd actually make this into a game. It's almost too simple to even post here. Still, it would be an interesting exercise into how much you could break down an rpg or adventure game to its core and still be able to squeeze a game out of it. I mentioned Adventure and roguelikes, and this looks like it could be a mix of the 2, which could be fun.

Looks very Atari 2600.

Deciding whether to use an existing physics engine for collision detection or just roll my own.

Also, playing Grand Theft Auto as "research"

[Udderdude]

Depending on how complex you need those physics to be, an existing one may be the way to go.  If it's just very simple stuff, better to custom write your own, as it'll likely be faster w/o all the unnessecary stuff an existing one would have.  Assuming your code isn't awful.
