Here is the overworld with the first enemies. While it may just be generic slimes, I have much more fun things in mind for the Earth Fortress

Also, I may be lacking in posts for a while. With all the smash hype for Bayonetta and Corrin I may be too distracted to work on this. I will do my best though

Can you tell us the code when it comes out

Of course!

i suggest adding skeletal archers SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS

Well in a way I already have a skeletal archer planned. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that in this game skeletons won't just be the stereotype goto enemy

heres an idea do something that lets you make your own characters and the players can choose what wepon he/she will youse

The element system is the closest thing to customization. If I were to add full customization I would have to change the basic mechanics. I'm all for customization, but it will have to wait until my next project

oh ok put i had another idea i think their should be a setting so girl players can play as a girl character[same with boys]

Um, Lily is a girl, and changing that would mess with the dynamic of the second boss. I appreciate your input, I really do, but I have been planning this game since about May. My next project is a graphics test. Of which I have put no thought into anything except that it is about robots with interchangable weapons and armor. I will gladly accept suggestions for that.

ok...

no i ment.........like a ♀/♂ changeing sistom [to change the character in to a boy or girl]

You're doing great! I just wanted to ask what is the commands you used to simulate it into a side-scroller? I'm trying to get into this game too!

Maybe somebody else can do better, but here is what works for me

Thanks!

Hope that helps

This is GOODGOODGOODGOODGOOD!

Thanks Phoenix! I'm sorry about the lack of posts, but I'm tyring to coordinate with somebody now. I'm trying to give them something to work from. My next post will show off their hard work

how did you get the enemys to move?

I have a setup where I set an AI number using spvar when I load a room. Then using for I=_ to _, I check the AI number and turn it into a string. Ex: SPVAR I,0 OUT AI R$="@AI"+STR$(AI) GOSUB R$ From there I just tell it how slimes act

i'm confused by "ai" what do you mean by that? and how do you animate them without slowing the game down?

Is that a common problem? I don't use the built in function to avoid wasting space in the sprite sheet. I haven't since Petit Computer. I just have two variables, one for a timer, one for the frame and sometimes a string like "0121". When the timer reaches a certain point, it resets and adds to the frame. If the animation needs more then 2 frames, I use the frame variable with mid$()
