+Tarzilla Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 How about some different skill levels so my young nephews can play it as well as older experienced players. Skill levels were sadly missing from Sydney Hunter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) While I was polishing the game, I thought to myself I could add sand as I already have fire and spikes in the game Plus, it add more to the gameplay wich is never a bad thing I agree with GroovyBee's comments. Although interesting, the sand effect looks much too regular and the hard edges surrounding it make it look too much like a box overlaid on top of the background. Perhaps if the scene had more colour, say, with more foreground elements, the sand wouldn't pop so much as to be distracting. Also, you may want to cycle multiple cards independently to make the falling effect more organic. I know it's the particular style of these games, but personally I am not fond of monochrome background scenery, where only sprites have any colour. You could create nice light-and-shadow effects using Blue, Black, and Cyan. A water effect would be nice as well, but I encourage you to use different art styles and tiles for each. I find it distracting (and "cheap") when I play a game and see "falling sand" in one screen, then "falling water" on another, and "falling lava" in yet another; and the only difference between the screens is the colour of the animated tiles. It's like, what role are the "running tiles" going to play next, orange for "flowing juice"? -dZ.

GroovyBee Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If you changed the sand to a single colour (along with the common black background colour) and made the slabs on the top of it MOBs, you could have a new play mechanism :- Then the player would have to make it across the room in a certain amount of time. The speed of the sand draining away is way too quick in that gif, but you get the idea. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually not a fan as well (thinking about Spectrum games here) But the advantage of using monochrome graphics for the background is it give you much more details And to be honest, I think it give this game a certain appeal (IMO) But hey! All suggestions are good to hear and gives me inspirations and a second look Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Just saw something on Reddit that gave me an idea. Any chance of simulating a rising water or lava effect where you have a limited time to climb platforms or drown/burn? Ninja Gaidan III has an example of this: https://youtu.be/ScY1fR6DZkw?t=340s (Skip to 5:40) Edited November 19, 2015 by JasonlikesINTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Where there's a snow cave, there's Santa. santacoming.rom Will there be a snow cave level?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Where there's a snow cave, there's Santa. santaclausiscomingtotown.JPG santacoming.rom Cool! The pacing of the song could use some work, it seems rushed. Also, where's santa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It has that sound pacing because (1) I experimented with "triplicating" the tones by first getting the melody on voice 1, then duplicated it in voice 2 a few clock cycles after voice 1, then duplicated that on voice 3 after that and (2) it was rushed. The source is in the Programming subforum so anyone can pick it up and play with it. There's no Santa because I have spent my time all in the sound/music realm and not with graphics (again leaving the source open for someone with actual graphic skills to do what they wish). Cool!

GroovyBee Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 The flame curls are a ice addition but unless you are going to use pre-shifted GRAM cards or multiplexing you'll be out of sprites for that room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
