That wizard gots swag

It's all the magical powers trying to escape from his head.

Man, I can see the temptation to doing stuff like that in rm2k3... Veeery tempting. Though it does require a good level of chipset fu I guess.

Yeah, it's pretty fun. Fun and frustrating.

Continued working a little bit on it and made a couple of spells. Can't be a wizard without spells.

Magic Orb

Will mainly be used to activate switches and temporally stun some enemies.

Magic Jump(?)

You jump. Like, really high.

This weakly wizard makes Mario look bad.

[zuhane]

Love the style, man that super jump is looking spiffy, too.

[Momeka]

Thanks, guys.

I really should just get around to making a thread about the game. But meh, I'll do it once I'll figure out a name.

In the meanwhile here's a merchant and his wagon.



Probably going to change the merchant art to something more interesting later.

[Donut]

It all looks very good, can't wait to try that! I've only tried one plateformer on RM2k3 (In French, called MegaMike) and it was just so bad on so many levels...

[Momeka]

Thanks, Donut. Yeah, rm2k3 really isn't the optimal tool to do a platformer in. All the ones I've tried so far has been picture based and pixel movements, don't really want to take things that far. Going with tile based movement, since it's main focus is puzzles and not action jump around shoot everything. But it got it's own flaws, right now the movement feels kinda slow and sluggish, but if I increase the movement speed one step it becomes way too fast and imprecise.
Trying to work around it with level design and not having long straight stretches of just walking or a bunch of backtracking. But we'll see how well it works out.

That Wagon looks mondo gypsy, Mo Brah! Simple but detailed.

[zuhane]

I want to marry your art work.

[Momeka]

I was looking at some screenshots of the gameboy color Zeldas and just loved how they looked. So tried to replicate something in that style. Every 8x8 chunk of a tile is only allowed to contain three colors. GBC allows for four colors per tile, but the tiles from Links awakening mostly only used three, so decided to go with that myself.





Colors are shamelessly stolen from some dungeon in Links Awakening. 

[Donut]

Not fan of the first screenshot mainly because of the rocks, but the second one is really neat!

[Moosetroop11]

First one reminds me of Yoda Stories, if you ever played that. I loved that game.

[Momeka]

Oh yes! I played the Indiana Jones one when I was a kid. Loved it.

Anyway, worked on some HUD stuff

[Prpl_Mage]

Looks great, but there is something about the whiteness or style of the lower part that doesn't match the awesomeness of the upper part

[Momeka]

Is this better?



Also got started on combat, it will all be automatic by walking into enemies à la "For the frog the bell tolls". It still need a bunch of work, want the characters to be animated as well. Maybe also some floating damage numbers.

[Archem]

Never been a fan of that combat system.
