Walrus Kingdom (former PocketWalrus) [PC] [Windows] [Java] [Walrus]

[p2]

@DJ Omnimaga I dont think I will animate the walrii when cuting down trees xD I really dont know what to draw for it D:
Buuut I have a little nice update
thx to @Sorunome I now added a second type of tree and I think the forests look really nice like this
It's hard to see at the first spot but you see it pretty good while walking around

[Dream of Omnimaga]

For cutting down trees, just use the front flipper frame and add an horizontal axe in front of him maybe. Also this looks very nice

[p2]

idk yet, maybe just add a little smoke animation (something cute like the expolsion @kotu did in KillCMD) if I animate it at all, we'll see

Also another update:
I added an animated menu screen and it looks pretty nice so far, only the buttons are missing ^^
animation and changed keyboard functions are working perfectly
Also added lot of map data (planting trees takes lots of time) and updated the tile data (new trees weren't solid) ^^
will provide a new screenshot soon

sadly I still wasnt able to export the game as a runnable Jar with th epictures inside it... They're there (checked with 7zip) but it can't find them

can you recommend anything for making animated GIF screenshots?



EDIT:

Code Select Expand

0.2.0
- added game menu
- included new tiles (second type of tree)
- added more map data
- major bug fixes (map data)


The game menu is implemented and fully functional.
(At first I forgot the SAVE button but fixed that already) ^^

I'm verry sorry for the quality, but the software I used is beyond crappy...
If you know any good GIF recording software, please let me know D:


that's supposed to be a smooth scroll animation in background. The lags are ONLY fom the recording!
The game runs smoothly at >>100 cps (counting the clicks per secondas I have to slow it down a lot. Currently slowing it down to ~27FPS as more screen updates arent necessary)



Also NEVER use "http://www.recordit.co/" or you'll get the quality seen above
Best detail: you have to pay 29$ to get max.12 FPS recordings (which is the pro version).
Order it today, I'd say: https://blog.placeit.net/RecordItPro/

Wow I like the menu so far. My suggestion would be to maybe add some extra effects such as outlines or a gradient to the title itself, maybe like CW logo or something, to make it stand out more. Maybe also add the two cat walruses at the bottom of the screen as easter egg like at the bottom of this topic page

Also for screen capture I recommend Camstudio. It's free and if you have a quantum computer it can give decent frame rates when recording.

I have decided to redo the entire menu :3
I can reuse most of the code I wrote for it, but the graphics will be redone. I pretty much hate the menu as it totally doesnt fit to the rest of the game... :/

thx for the suggestion

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Ah ok. What ideas you had in mind? Also, I wonder what the Walrii with the lighter border will look like...

[p2]

asking for "external" help with the menu (a non-walrus) ^^
I'll present the new walrii (if I use it) together with the new menu in a few days I hope

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Ah ok. Try to keep the as true to the original as possible. For example, not stuff like this

[kotu]

I wonder how a walrus can hold an axe or a sword while trying to walk around with his flippers. Also it would be funny if the Walrii Reuben was included

I reckon walruses would have an innate ability to deal with axes. Not swords though, totally different.

He just holds the axe with a front flipper

@DJ Omnimaga , duh. lol

[kotu]

menu looks really nice

*sorry, top-post

[Dream of Omnimaga]

By the way, you know you can edit your previous post with the modify button, right?

[kotu]

yes

what happened to the 'delete post' button?

[Dream of Omnimaga]

There's no delete post button available to members unfortunately, due to abuse on other sites in the past. I can probably merge your two posts if you want, though. Just making sure you know about the modify, though.

[kotu]

so it just got removed in the past 2 days and stuff?

[p2]

Even I can't delete other user's posts :/ (But I agree I dont really know what I would need it for as we never had stuff like NSFW content spam ^^)

Back to WalrusKingdom:
I so far had no time to ask the non-walrus I wanted to ask for help, But I hope I can get it done within the next few days.
The menu items themselves are already done, but I want a really fancy "WalrusKingdom" text above it, retro pixelart style and everything ^.^
sooo I'll try to speed it up and tell U guys once it's done

Also Coming next after menu:
interactive objects like signs and chests
(but I dont know yet about inventory and if a walrus really needs one... still thinking about that part)
