Which tileset do you mean? The first or the second?

The first.

Oh. Hum. Oh okay. So you prefer the original recolored. Okay! I'm going to stay with my edits, I find them better! :p

I now have a screenie showing the full screentest, 16x16 sprites (sorry Eiyeron, but for reasons told in IRC, I can not use yours (for everyone else: it has to due with the mappy files I was given being optimized and not having the full spritesheet, so the spritesheets are different for each map portion, and are in a different arrangement)), and 12x8 tile surface for the game (to match the original).

Good luck with Mappy if you ever need to use it by the way. The lack of an Undo feature is really annoying. Also this looks very good

Will it eventually be full screen, since it features scrolling and the new maps were adapted with scrolling in mind? What about smooth scrolling?

EDIT: Oops, it appears I gave you the wrong tileset actually. The black in it isn't fully black in it, when it fact it should. I had to make it lighter in Mappy, else I was being confused with the default black tile. That said, in its current form your maps still look fine.

I like the off-black, actually.

As for scrolling, I didn't think about that. When I add Reuben in, I'll see what an expanded screen and scrolling does to the experience.

Another idea would be to scale the tiles up to 24x24 and just have a small border.

Looks good ! Also yeah, scaling the tiles up is a good idea imo.

haven't made much progress on this recently. School is back in session.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 06, 2015, 06:19:25 PM

Aaah sorry to hear. Hopefully you can find more free time soon.

pimathbrainiac · January 22, 2015, 11:17:49 PM

So I need to replay Reuben

Dream of Omnimaga · January 22, 2015, 11:39:16 PM

Yes.

Also don't forget about the bestiary on Omnimaga. I don't have the info myself, so you would probably need to check the code again.

pimathbrainiac · January 23, 2015, 03:08:40 AM

I already have the bestiary bookmarked

I just need to re play reuben for the script/story, etc. so I can get the events correct.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 23, 2015, 12:13:09 PM

Ah ok just making sure, because last year or so Sorunome pretty much wanted me to do the entire work of deciphering the game code/data for him.

btw, this project is not dead, but I haven't had much time to work on it in the past six weeks. I'll get back to it shortly, now that robotics season is over.
