The town square is looking quite nice! Obviously this is just the first (and smallest) of many towns.

It's not done. I don't want to release an unfinished game.

Even adventurers need somewhere to relax and call home. Wandering through the desert is tiring!

This game is coming along quite nicely! Almost all the preliminary coding is complete! Soon I'll just be filling out data statements.

However, I wholeheartedly recommend buying this whether you can learn or not, as many great games are being created for it.

It took me about a month to learn on the DSiWare version. Once you learn, it becomes second nature and is a lot of fun, but the initial learning process can be difficult.

@Ed You were the guy who ported Desktop Dungeons to PTC? I loved playing that. It was awesome and really impressive that you could do it.

@mystman I'm making my own original game, so you're definitely not alone. I feel like working on something copyrighted is boring and uncreative... Why try to recreate someone else's work when you can instead create something of your own with your own unique and interesting stories and worlds and lore to explore?

There's an agreement when you publish your game that says it cannot use copyrighted material, so no, unfortunately it is not okay.

Wait let me change that...you want two sprite pages for a single animation??? I misread... Yeah two sprite pages for a single animation, even if possible, is pointless I'd think..

It is very much so possible and not too difficult.

@T Ocarina that's if I was showcasing a function...but I'm not. I'm simply making games because it's fun. I do comment my code when I present games I've made, but what I make on SmileBASIC is not made to be presented.

It's much more powerful, so it's definitely better than the original. Plus, there are tons of new games being developed for it that blow the games on the original (except Mega Man 2...) out of the water.

Don't go back to Petit Computer. Most things in Petit Computer translate directly into SmileBASIC, except SmileBASIC is much faster and more powerful. There are a few exceptions like SPANIM, which is now far more more complicated. However, SPANIM is also much much more useful now. I'd stick with SmileBASIC. Your projects will have far more potential if you do.

Plus I still have my AI from the previous version for enemies, so I already have a great base to build off of.

@Windy I know I definitely can. I had an entire working demo on Petit Computer with a dungeon, town, overworld, and even a boss. But it was much more tedious developing it so I kinda got lazy and... Stopped lol. But since this version of my engine is so much quicker, it will feel more Mario-Maker esque and will be much quicker and more enjoyable to implement all my ideas.

I can't wait to finish this game and release it! My code has become much more efficient since Petit Computer, so this should be a breeze! The game will play like Zelda, if anyone was wondering.

Awesome! It's been so long since I've been active in this community...I'm glad SmileBASIC has renewed my interest in game development.

I know I haven't been active for a long time in the community, but will I be included?

I didn't learn using tutorials. I just played with people's code for a while. I learned mainly by messing around with the sample RPG in the original Petit Compe, so you should do the same for this. Eventually it will all come together. Start by changing the data statements and seeing how that affects the game.
