Platforming with Events

[Opt7ons]

I didn't know where to post this, but anywho. This is pretty much my game so far, this was made pretty fast, as you can see by the graphics, but its quite functional.

UP = Jump
LEFT and RIGHT to move.
A (not A on your keyborad, it should be Z on your borad) to do a random attack thing.

Just wanted to see what you guys thought of it. Not only that, i need some way to improve on it as well. If anyone has an easy way to jump on higher platforms than come down again, ill be so thankful (cause my method is teduis).

[darkiewonder]

it probably didn't download when you clicked it because of the space between the hyphen. but as FR has mentioned, right click works.

EDIT: I just downloaded it but it says the zip file is corrupt or no archive there.

kk, try

http://www.freewebs.com/frostrogue/NightFall.rar


if that doesnt work then dl all of these
http://www.freewebs.com/frostrogue/ATTACK.png
http://www.freewebs.com/frostrogue/MAINHERO.png
http://www.freewebs.com/frostrogue/Map001.rxdata
For these above three, make a new project, place the pictures ATTACK and MAINHERO in the pictures folder and the Map001 in the data folder.

PS Itryed the link again and open the project, and it works, but anywho.

You need more than the Map001 file. I'm pretty sure you need the mapdata file as well.

 

[Opt7ons]

Na, i tested it. Its works without it. (Well it should)

...your character and attack is a blue block?

awhile ago I started making a Mario platfomer engine (now abandoned) but ran int bugs- power-ups mosty- I like how you did the jumping, works alot better than mine, but here is a link to my last version of my platformer so you can take a look at the common events to see how I did jumping to higher platforms. You obviously are going a different route, using pictures, but maybe you can atleast get some ideas. I used terrain tags to define what was ground, and what was "thin air".

Scratches Head..I just made a topic just like this...like 30 seconds ago! Meh, Its getting closed..

...your character and attack is a blue block?

*downloads anyways*

Theres a good reason for that. Its so that its easliey changed. You'll see when my game is finished.

And besides, im not a graphics artist and this took me 20 minutes to make.

Wow ace, that was pretty cool. but what I want to make, is something simple yet fun. A while ago I made a game based off of a story I wrote, it was a Platformer, it was going pretty good except for two problems..

1. Needed diffrent jump heights per character.(a fat guy cant jump 200 feet high)

2. I was having trouble making long ranged attacks in my Side view Abs.

It was actually quite good while it lasted tho...cept for the lag..It was quite simple though.
There were 2 character. Fat Dude and skinny dude. But I got stumped at one point because I needed my character to shoot a plasma attack when you pressed Up+Q..It showed the plasma fly at the enemy, but it didnt hurt the enemy, or it would repeatatly hit him. I dunno...Something wrong with the Variables. It was cool tho..

Version 0.2

This ones got a better jump system, better attacking (too make it fair on the enemies) and a dash button.

DASH = 'D' Button

Its alos got an enemy which just follows you and attacks when you attack (Which i plan to change).

Also, you cant go out of the screen anymore.

 

[darkiewonder]

Downloaded and tested it out. I definately like the Jump thing. and it actually like jumps and move. Attack is cool thing. Only thing you can't do is jump and hold down the attack button as it will just go real slow. but that can be fixed.

EDIT: haha. you uploaded a new one. err. there's something wrong with the zip file for freewebs or you're zipping it wrong as it says uknown or corrupt when I try to extract it.

 

[Opt7ons]

^ I fixed jumping and attacking in version 0.2. But if its the pause when you land its because i didnt want the player to be jumping in and out too fast after an attack (Kinda like in the Tales of battle system, every attack put you to a stand still)

Also, i almost bashed my head in when i found out how to do the jumping. (It was right there in front of me).

 

[darkiewonder]

Try a different place to upload the zip file or zip it again. it's doing the same thing like it did earlier

 

[Opt7ons]

^im on a completey diffrent computer useing a completely diffrent ZIP program. Ill fix it.

or RAR version here

You can't attack the thing?

 

[Brimstone-x]

Thats nice. Can you get it to work without SDK?

 

[Opt7ons]

You can't attack the thing?

Its suppose to be a demon. But no, you cant kill it yet. Im working on that (Not that hard really).

Thats nice. Can you get it to work without SDK?

Huh???? I dont understand?
