lol with an extensive overhaul of collision detection and drawing sprites etc. you could

I might have been partial to their style since it's the only platform game other than mario that I've played. But I can guarantee that I made my tiles in photoshop without looking at a single reference. I just did it out of my mind. I'm thinking about making like a oriental level with pagoda's and stuff

 There's a comparison of the 2 for you

only the sprite is maple story. I made the rest from scratch. but i mean, i need more like, platform ideas and stuff so the levels don't look so repetitive

a) don't post the same question twice. b) yes… just map part of the map and leave the rest black. Otherwise it'd be pretty dumb to actually go through the trouble to shrink the screen size for just 1 map.

haha. wow. if you think this is mind blowing, you totally underestimated my java programming capabilities lol Cmon guys I want some suggestions for themes/platforms/backgrounds/decorations… something lol

Wow, nice of you to notice that Devo =) And I think java is easy to learn. I started when i was 14 or 15 can't remember. Soo any suggestions or decorative addons/platforms/level backgrounds/ items that should show up infront of the character ?

It's just being hardcoded in java. I think Marsh said it's ok since this is mainly about the graphics. I forgot to say in the first post. But I need some level ideas… platform ideas... decoration ideas... etc.

yeah. that's normal. is it right to be pissed off when your girlfriend is has been hanging out with this other guy by herself for the past 5 hours without talking to you and all the time, knowing this is one of the dudes that you completely despise?

We've spent only 3 days on it. All the graphics (EXCEPT the sprite) are custom drawn by me. Btw… it's kind of funny... it loads so fast that there doesn't need to be a loading screen... but i think the loading screen looks more professional so I had to put a pause in the game when the loading screen comes up haha PLEASE Post Ideas for: -level themes -platforms -decorative addons

checkerboard sucks i think. it doesn't look like shadows at all. I think the best alternative… is to take tiles in photoshop and put a shadow ontop of the tile and make it a whole new tile... ie... you have a grass tile.... you have a translucent cloud shadow... duplicate the grass tile and put the cloud shadow on it and voila you have a new grass tile with the shadow from a cloud... lol

AHAHAHA oh yeah totally forgot about that. considering i was on at the time… lol

Nope. BMP has no alpha. Only PNG. It'll show a black shape instead of a partially transparent shape.

What was Wednesday night? lol

Personally I think the enforcement is being too strict. You say it's coming from older members but I haven't really seen anything bad. Kreator bashed everyone's work but that's about it. I mean… hell... I caught someone claiming someone elses work was there's ... and I get warned? as did 2 other people in the thread who agreed with me? That's not flaming or flamebaiting, I was just pointing out it was fraud. I think it's getting a tad ridiculous.

lol, well it shouldn't be too hard to add in.

One thing about the dock, even if it leads to another map, you still need the occasional support beam underneath or the pier would break, so add one of those tiles

Lol no not really. It's definitely not terrible because the tall grass isn't all squared. but the whole bottom half is empty.

anything does.

a third moral could be… hide your kids. =)

Yeah I think that's got the right perspectives. That looks like a good base, just add some detail

hmmm. well obviously there's not much detail to it. But other than that, it doesn't seem to be in the right perspective for iso. it seems more like it's just a 3d model. If you could make a game in that perspective it'd be sweet haha

Dude i'm seriously looking forward to that because you know you're going in a halo suit in some sweet ass gunfight.

Yeah sorry I gotta got lost working on class work and free lance stuff. I can probably draw these tomorrow or Friday but I can't scan them in till sunday night.

ha that looks incredibly useful chief!! Nice find.
