Gregory DG Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Maybe instead of just dropping the amulets, you have to throw them at the boss to escape. Add some action to it. Edited June 17, 2013 by Gregory DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit 2600 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Mm, that's a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit 2600 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Here's a big update. After collecting the 5 amulets, you go to an enclosed room and then watch your guy walk out of the house and into a new one =) (Still working on the eventuall boss) Demo - Spooky Mansion Multiple Mansions.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybearg Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I very much enjoy the game so far. If you could create a number of mini-bosses that would randomly spawn after beating castles and if there were one or two more kinds of enemies to add to the ghosts, that'd be super! I find the controls and the rumble of the walking/amulet sounds to be very cathartic and satisfying. I'd suggest you increase it to 10 amulets or something, because I find myself getting 5 before I even realize it, quickly having to see the leave/enter animation more frequently than I would prefer. Also, perhaps try giving the castles (and all the rooms within them) a randomized color, so it'd feel like you were going into new castles rather than leaving and re-entering the same one. Great start! Is this using the multisprite kernel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit 2600 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thank you for your review. I had the same idea about having different kinds of enemies. And I believe I can make it so that it's a random enemy in each room. I just need to come up with some designs. And randomizing the colors for each new mansion is also a great idea, but at the moment that is outside my knowledge. Maybe at a later stage it will be possible. And yes, it's using the multisprite kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 In order to avoid too much flicker you could define boundaries for each ghost. Say, each gets a third of the screen. Remember too: there's a couple of pixel extra space needed vertically between sprites need to avoid flicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit 2600 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Next update is going to be very exciting. I've rebalanced the gameplay so the enemies are a bit trickier this time around.

Rabbit 2600 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Okay, here is the latest version. It's a bit more challenging so you have to be pretty strategic to get the amulets.

Gregory DG Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Are the rooms supposed to be random? I went back-forth between the same two rooms and they were different every time. Also, if I were in a spooky mansion, I think I would be running a bit faster. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit 2600 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yep, the rooms are always random. The mansion is cursed after all. It does everything it can to stop you from leaving. Okay, I'll speed up the guy a bit in the next release =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
