i've never made a fangame before but i thought the little sheep sprite was cute @( ^ Y ^)@I like the cloud sprites, but you definitely shouldn't have bright cyan as the background. I suggest something like this if you want to keep it simple:
EDIT: here's some dead sheepies:
Little something I'm working on:Looks great! I don't understand why more people don't use lighting in their games. It's pretty simple to do and it can make everything look so much better, even if it's just subtle like in Meltdown.
Pretty much. Each portal object has a destination portal and a direction. The portal will render whatever is inside the destination portal (minus the portal itself) to a framebuffer (which I guess is analogous to a surface in game maker), then render that to the area it takes up. The alpha for a right-side portal depends on how close the player is to the right side, and same thing for a left-side one. It teleports you to the destination portal when you're in the center, so you have to mess with the alpha values to keep it from "jumping" when you have a transition between a dark and light scene like that.Just finished this thing today, happy with the result
How'd you get that effect? I'm really curious.
I would assume you linked the player's X coordinate to the alpha value of a layer, but that would mean that if they went backwards the effect would reverse? It's really neat though.
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you chose Java over using a traditional engine?Not really, I'm just too lazy to learn game maker haha.
That looks really neat, I'm looking forward to the game.Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun working on it.
Interesting gimmick but I would consider having another key than up and down to transform as this makes it really awkward to control. I guess the 'Z' and 'X' keys would make a lot more sense.Yeah, I was having problems figuring out what the default control scheme would be for people who don't use one hand for both moving and jumping. I was considering something like that, but I felt like it would be way too difficult to use only one hand for so many controls. Some of the levels would force you to use your pinky to jump or make awkward maneuvers with your hand. Originally it was WAD/arrow keys to move/jump and JKL to transform, but not everyone plays that way.
