Needed something to kill a few hours.

[Moresco]

I spend lots of hours working on my little game & a few more learning stuff like DirectX or 65816 assembly language junk.  Also, I have a kid & a wife & lots of time there.   But still I have a couple hours leftover that I usually waste on Ed, edd, & eddie. Gotta love em.

I took a break from cartoon-world to do this.


LOL. Ok I know this is kinda campy but I love the game.  After seeing just how smoothly that other platform game-fighter deal could run, I decided I could fairly easily write my own little platform game.  I thought I couldn't have background layers, but it turns out I can so I'm gonna go back & fix the background.  There's only one guy there, I haven't ripped Ryu yet.  Counter works, so does the health but not in a gui just yet. My biggest problem is going to be with the AI.  The demo will just be one stage, & only Ken & Ryu since they're basically identical(yet different!).

I'll make it open-source when it's fully playable

So, they team up instead of fighting and go on hilarious adventures and collect inventory, and solve puzzles, right?

Cause, otherwise, this will be going to the GenGen.  

Nice job though, really.  I will like to see this finished.  At least its not a FPS

[Moresco]

lol. What's a GenGen? And yes, yes they might go on hillarious adventures collecting items & solving mysterious puzzles before eventually getting into another fight because Ryu earned more points than Ken & wouldn't share!

This is AGS related though scumm :p.

Moresco, checked out platformerius by 2ma2? http://ilb.notrix.net. Not quite the same as what you're doing though. It's under tutorial.

Edit: Gengen = General General. I.e general discussion forum. Old nickname from the old name.

[Moresco]

Heh. Oh I gotcha now on Gengen.  No no, this isn't General it's AGS related cuz I'm doing it in AGS.

Oh and I have seen Platformerius. If not for that tutorial I'd not have thought it was possible to make a platform game in AGS.  But, his game is super fast, and that's awesome cuz a slow platform is just not very exciting.

I thought it was gonna be an Ed, Edd and Eddie game...

There's not a soul that doesn't love Ed, eDD, & EddiE more than I(ok there probably is), so I'd be all for making one.  Unfortunately if I said I was making one, everyone would throw bricks at me for already having two projects going.  So I better not.  But when you say that, I just want to hop up & down and scream "yes yes! I will do iiiiiiit!". But no.

Ed Edd and Eddie annoys the shit out of me. Long live Adult Swim.

Err, on topic, there are engines much better suited to platform games. A full platform game in AGS would get rather complex, and well, it'd probably cave in on itself. Engines like The Games Factory or Multimedia Fusion are much more flexible for platform games.

[Moresco]

Ah, my intention is not to make a great platform game, this is just to waste time & see if I can make it work.  You know, fun.  Ah, anyway.

Aside from zee adventure games, SF2 is my favorite game ever.
I support your project and all religious groups associated with it.

Rodekill: *SMILE* Yah! I know it's the best freaking thing in the world...!!  It's only going to be 1 level two characters though, not the full thing...lol, I may be crazy but I'm not insane...well not completely.
