Ive been messing around with that. It seems the port to windows is really broken though :/ Tons of problems with it. What I did get to work was pretty awesome though

The one time I wished I had a mac :(

That sounds swell, I've been working on this movie and so far, no trouble, since I'm waaaay better with character animation, still, I'm trying to make some sort of bomb and, god! I have my keyboard stamped against my face because of how many times I facedesked. I can manage with things such as windows breaking, etc, but with things like explosions, the pain doesn't stop, since there isn't many good reference out there. The best ones I managed to get were (in case someone wants them):

-Fire
-Water drop (traditional)
-Water drop (Toonboom Studio)
-Gelatinous masses
-Smoke (traditional)

It's great to examine it FBF, so if you can pass me an explosion sprite, it'd be awesome

Summer plans involving Flash / Programming / Art (ghey)?

Teach myself Java [for AP Comp. Sci.]

What are your plans or hoped achievements?

This ones a bit different to the first, which was more of a tech demo. Yup LongAnimals again, dont think it would be possible without such a versitile programmer (he just released Heavy Weapons btw, which I really liked).

Still thinking about animating effects, do you think anyone would get any use out of a submission with a bunch of different effects to study? Nice easy scrolling through frames with arrow keys and a play animation button? I knows theres already tons of these, but Id make it look smart and simple to use. Would it just be a waste of time? Ive got loads of things I can put in there, Explosion, Fire, Blood, Water, Smoke etc...

Dunno just an idea :)

Thats it. Not too much cause I have a lot to do over the summer. Three months should give me enough time.

Yeah.. I think a free roaming RPG in the style of mount and blade would work well in Flash, with simple top-down arena based combat.. I might make a mini-RPG or something, hah.

At 5/26/09 07:39 PM, El-Presidente wrote: What are your plans or hoped achievements?

Make a game. At all. A proper one, not a crappy small one. Doubt I will though. Might teach myself Java since I'm gonna be using that next year for Algorithms & Data Structures work - I'm a quick learner especially with programming languages (once you know one..) so I'll probably not bother, but if I get really bored we'll see.

This is my little RPG engine. Top down, 100% resembles the old Pokemon games. I haven't worked on it, but it's tilebased on a grid. The enemies cant die yet, the enemy attacks cause the health go to NaN for whatever reason, but I'll fix that when I get the time. There are only like 10 maps.
I made it very efficiently for the mapper :)

Stats are just set for testing.
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/260509/7 1850_ImmortalSword.php
Arrow Keys
Hold shift to run
Go in tall grass for enemy. For testing purposes you only need to touch it, but that's just a simple change of a variable to make it take longer.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. It'll hopefully come out sometime over the summer.
Comments? Suggestions for the engine or anything?

okay BomToons i added the wide layout release thingy to your little calendar so approve it already.

I don't like the new wide layout, it looks ugly and it's annoying.
but I suppose I'll have to get used to it
*sigh*

I aint a level 7 but i can pretend to be now.

they are made of soap. I'm giving one away on my next fp post. Which is not today unfortunatelyyyy

Yeah, I don't really like it, either. I dunno, it's just... Awkward...

you better be giving it to me luis. i've posted every single time you've done a giveaway and nothing, nada, zilch.

plus soap knuckles would be pretty damn sweet.

aw man, i just started working hard on my animation (for once) and it looks really badass compared to my other animations. i've decided to stop being lazy and try to cut back on the tweens unless it would look better with them.

i'll post an animated gif of the part i'm talking about soon but til i'm actually done that segment it's work work work!

Summer Goals?

- Do my Sketchbook Tour piece
- Learn enough AS to finish a game solo
- Do a game with Shinki
- Finish a game with someone else wherein I have almost all of the art done, but it's come to a dead halt
- Lurk less, post more

Also, soap knuckles. Cool.

New Game I'm Working On

I'm really new to action script, and I've been reading a few tutorials and I created a Mario Star Shooter Game. You can play the beat below; What do you think? Add pointers before I submit. Do you think it's sponsorship worthy? Etc.

Play BETA now

.....dear god rudy please tell me you're joking. tell me you aren't being serious.

lol. it was that bad huh?

WHO WANTS TO BE MY CODER FROM NOW ON? lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Naw Rudy...I've seen much worse. Things look and sound pretty good. Still, as a game, it's a little boring. There are a lot of things that you could do to make the game play more interesting. Power ups, consequences, special abilities, enemies, challenge levels, shit like that. You're off to a great start. :3

okay you're being serious.

well for one i was a little worried because the graphics weren't really rudyified, there were only sprites, and the voices were pretty bad.

also the hit area of the stars was so tiny i could barely hit any of them. i avoided the red stars for a while til i realized nothing bad happened when i shot them.

i'm not saying you should stop, cuz as doctormario was saying you're off to a good start but.... it's just not you right now. the sprites scare me.
