Please and thank you

-Added ability for attacks to have a chance of inflicting a status effect. flame wave has a 30% chance of burning the enemy as an example.


Ugh, I need to rewrite the statmod broadcasts and instead of making it statMod_up or statMod_down I need to make them statMod_enemy and statMod_player.
Not looking forward to this.

I know it's late but can I help?

Kayybee, I would really like those maps the the proper dimensions soon, just put them in a project please.

The plan to get this lots of love its is to release a series of projects to build up to this. First will be a sort of video, then a demo game with the test area then we can take requests or something. I don't really have complete command of the frontpage anymore so it may take a bit of work.

If you are using flashdevelop try flashpunk, its kind of like flixel but easier to use and more guides. A flash version of this game I am thinking would use flashpunk.

Yeah that's ok, you've done more than anyone so far. I just need some good maps then I will integrate the battle engine with the map.

mkolpnji or any one else who cares here are some things you should go over if you want to get into flashpunk

Learn the following from this page, it refers to AS2, but these things don't change (except you are forced to give a variable a type, in AS2 it was dynamic).

basics: variables, basic math
intermediate:arrays,more math,FUNCTIONS (very important),
advanced (if you wanna): 3D in flash, this lets you make a wireframe cube like you see sometimes in Scratch, its not so hard

These are important but not in the flash tut, just google them or look em up on adobe's site http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/package-summary.html:
if statement, switch statement, for/while/do while loops, operators

Also interesting, AS3 is almost identical to java, so you can try that out if you ever wanna.

The purpose of flashpunk is to give you new functions and features specific to game making. What this means is that instead of coding movement and maps and stuff you can just say something like cratePlayer(hero) for the player and createTilemap(map), this makes life waaay easier.

You can see flashpunk's unique commands @ http://flashpunk.net/docs/

There are some general tutorials you can do to build skills with flash punk

If you want to make an RPG like the one I want, I reccomend this specific tut:

Here's your test maps

I didn't know how you wanted them divided...

May need someone to do some simple sprite animations, like the intro. If anyone wants to help with that, make a post, otherwise I'll do it myself.

Still kind of laggy but the file size is only 100kb. I think that the scaling may create a bit of lag.

Progress for today

You start in the pokemon center and can leave to the main world.

This is just a start for the ability to move into new buildings/areas. There is a lot that obviously need to be worked on but that will just take time, it doesn't require too much thought. I'll probably only work on this once a day from now on.

Yeah, we have all the coded we need so that isn't an issue. Please post something that shows you have the ability to participate in this project, so something like an animation using premade sprites.
