Hello, I have recently played the game 'Another World' and it was amazing, I'd really like to do a similar game in AGS. The only problem is I have no idea how to make keyboard buttons do thing. I need the left and right arrow to make my character walk. I'd really like a jump on the ctrl key, or even just bind it to use to read notes I'd like to have in the environment. Are there any side scrolling modules that also allow sloped surfaces?
EDIT: Wow, I just searched Cinematic Platformer and this came up, and it's in AGS. It's not exactly what I want, but it's fairly close.

Hello
Another world or Flashback style is difficult coding.you can make thats in AGS but you must advance in programming.(as far as i know).

Hey Armageddon,
I did that video (also after playing another world) and its very much possible to do.
there's currently only PLATENG which is a complete engine with tiles graphics support:

There's at least one more platformer engine around.
I don't know about if they support slopes.
For the video I just restricted action to certain areas - so you can only jump if there's a ledge and so on - it was terribley buggy and redundant due to my poor coding skills that time.
I rewrote this engine three or four times so it's kinda stable. And it DOES have slope support for any slope (not just for 45°)
It also has a state machine so its easy to add other actions.
There's a keyboard module and the platformer engine which kind go together.
Its FAR from being perfect and there are some glitches too
I could do a makeshift module as it already is designed for using it as a module and can be configured quite easy.
If there's enough interest i could release it. keep in mind though its not a finished product - it could get very handy for me if people choose to improve it, though.
So you couldn't really jump anywhere? Only at the gaps? Anyways I just wanted to make a small art game, so all I really want is walking and using, to pick up notes. I'll take a look at that platformer engine, I'd also like to climb ladders. You should defiantly release that module you made, I'm sure a lot of people could fix it up/use it.
EDIT; Aw crap. That side scrolling game won't work in the new AGS editor.
