ISOmetric RPG in development

[enthusi]

I actually started working on a dedicated level/map editor.

It will all be real time. Isometric arcade RPG or so :-)

I found "tiled" to be a very nice map editor. You can create your own attribute to the tiles and export the maps as xml. It is currently in use in my upcoming game. It saves a lot of time in designing levels.

 

Easy to parse with python...

 

import sys
import json

dir=str(sys.argv[len(sys.argv)-1])
fname= dir + '.json'
with open(fname) as f:
   raw = f.read()
data = json.loads(raw)
fname= dir + '.c'
with open(fname, 'w') as f:
    f.write("#define mapheight " + str(data['height']) + '\n')
    f.write("#define mapwidth " + str(data['width']) + '\n')
    layers = data['layers']
    nrlayers = 0
    for l in layers:
        if l['name'] == 'Tile Layer 1':
            printmap(f, l['data'], data['width'], 'lower')
            nrlayers = nrlayers + 1

Thanks. Yes, tiled is nice. I have too many specific things to consider and also connect object properties. I will rather attempt to write my own

Familiar feeling...

Is there any update or further demo's on this title? It's definitely something I would buy when it's released.

Very promising game indeed but no news in the past 2 years... Since they released the bastion demo, we haven't hear anything from them unfortunately...

 

@enthusi do you have any update?

Hi

The project is alive but pretty much on hold as main contributors took some time off from it.

While there wasnt too much Atari Lynx stuff going on in the meantime we were quite active in general.

A boxed release of Assembloids is next on list. 'Lacim's Legacy' is something the whole team looks forward to, so rest assured it will come

Eventually

 

[Blany]

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to both of these.

Any sort of in progress demo you would be able to share for us enthusiasts to play with in the meantime?  Would really love to tinker with...

Hey is this still on hold? Any kind of demo for something like Argon app ??

[Blany]

Given that we've just had the successful released of Assemboids I was wondering if there is any update on the development of this game?
