Haha okay, sure, that would be the standard size for a sidescrolling retro game … but anyways, to fix the problem of annoying people like me getting frustrated with that giant veiwport, just make the game resizable. Or have different screen size options ^.^
EDIT :: Oh, and by the way, when I say different screen size, I dont actually mean the port itself, I really mean the resolution. So like an emulator, have 1x, 2x, ect …
I guess I could do that … later on though…
Edit: lol we should be instant messaging.
But thanks for clearing that up … I was wondering which you meant exactly. FYI it would not be possible/feasible for me to change the actual viewport since a lot of in-game display methods as well as measurements for individual map-blocks depends on the viewport size.
But yea … I will give an option for a “mini” resolution later on (should be 320x240 … the actual viewport size).
Showcase:
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you … Meta Ridley!
The Meta-Ridley sprites are not mine!
Credit goes to “SemiJuggalo” for the awesome sprites and TSR for hosting them.
Notes:
…bitchin…in every way…
^----DITTO
umm… are they not just edits? the look like edits to me >_>
lol … theyre screenshots of the game man. Meta Ridley is fully working in-game as you see it on those screenshots.
cool…
but i meant the sprites of meta ridly… arent they just edits from some game’s ridly?
oh …
Well I’m not sure … the Wings are original … but possibly the the body is an edit of the original SM Ridley. There are some detailed differences though.
Oh boy, one huge step to a finished fangame! GL!
Well a finished Engine at least.
Once I have everything as I want it I intend to nut out a few stories and start a real fan-game putting more effort into the atmosphere side of things: story intro, events, better level design/artwork, original bosses etc.
I just put in a new attack for Ridley, a fly-by fireball rain attack. He moves off screen then flies by horizontally spitting fireballs as he goes. He’s invulnerable to attacks while he does this but you can shoot the fireballs to get items back (you can shoot the other ones too but these ones are easier to hit). He has a 20% chance to perform this attack on his next “Action switch”.
I think I’m about ready to release 1.3d. Atm I find Meta Ridley as very hard to beat without cheating and with 100% items. I intend to release the first version as hard as I can make him without being too frustrating/repetitive. I’ll then see what people think … then go from there. I have no doubt some people will say its “impossible”, but for all I know it may be me who sux and its actually really easy.
I estimate 1.3d will be ready within the next 2 days.
Can you delete the Wall Jump Madness? It really is madness.
I wont delete it but I will put an easy access Super Missile so you dont have to complete it if you cant find the first 2 secret super missile tanks.
Were do you upload the .gm6/Executable files?
www.fileupyours.com is my mirror of choice. rapidshare.de for a backup.
Fileupyours gives you DDL with no restrictions on size/extension only a bandwidth limit which is 500 mb/month.
Thanks
changing controls bug all over the place, it is horrible!
hmm … usually its fine as long as you change it to something that was never one of the default keys. Changing keys doesnt unset the default keys yet … I will get to this later.
even if there were no control change bugs, it would be bug-ridden. content is cool and all, but the bugs go on and on.
also, i learned how to spin in circles pressing both arrow keys at once.
…im dizzy…
4 dizzy tasty…
