I'm not sure really. Can you make a little engine for top down view walking around with walls blocking and scrolling and such? That would be helpful. Also, can you take charge of the game's music? You know, calm town music, city music, exciting battle music, boss fight music, and super mega awesome right-to-action-out-of-nowhere title screen music etcv. There will need to be a few of each to keep every area unique. Maybe some of the Zelda music you like?

The title music is very important, so wait until I show you it before picking some out because then you will understand how it will work.

It LOVE it so far, but could you make the credits a bit faster because people might get bored waiting. However I think it's awesome where it just says illumination with a black screen then theres a huge flash and I understand that you want some really exciting music and I'll try to find some.

Although this game should have loads of music, I don't know if that will be possible because music takes up LOADS of space. I don't think we should include too much music...

Are we going to do something like this then? I can't do the engine until I get some backgrounds and sprites for the main character. Do you think you could do them?

Sort of like that, but the fights are different and there are a lot of other differences. Like I said, Like Pokemon but instead of fighting your monsters against another's monsters you go in a final fantasy sort of battle.

I can change the engine later if you want to just add some temporary graphics and such. Here is what it needs:

Walking (running when space is held, maybe?)

Walls (all a certain colour)

Multiple locations (change by variables. NOT colour sensing. Add <if touching player> to door instead)

That is pretty much all it needs. Again, I can edit the map, I just need it for the scripts, so do what you want graphics wise. It can look like a top down view version of The Dot for all I care 

Thanks for the help again, Iao.

Yeah I know the thing I gave you is different, I was just thinking if the engine would be like that...
Anyway, for this arrangement; I just want to double check. Is it me doing most of the scripting and you do most of the graphics? I kinda suck at drawing.

Also you know for the engine; should I just draw a basic stickman as a base for the character? I can't really start the engine until I get some backgrounds though. Also do you want there to be like grass so some dragon things appear? I'm sorry to bother you but I don't really understand what my task is and how this game will work. Once you explain it I could get to work...

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, I really am. The problem is, the engine doesn't have much too work with.

WHAT IS NEEDED:

Basic walking (I can add running if necessary because I know how)

Multiple backgrounds (Just make each a different colour)

A place to go to to change the background

Walls (Just black lines that you can't walk through that are part of the background)

Make the player not able to walk diagonally (I just can't do that many costumes XD)

No scrolling (turns out we don't need it. I'm really sorry. Add it if you want to though, but I think it's really better without)

That's pretty much it. There is no need to apologize, it is my fault, and if you can't do this, I'll see what I can do. I do feel really bad wasting your time with things like scrolling. Really sorry. I have been hard at work. I've been working on graphics for the character and weapons.

Literaly, the best thing for the character is a black sqare (the game being top-down and all) but it really doesn't matter.

Close. Make it change background when he touches a kind of door sprite, if you get what I mean. Thanks for understanding. I saw you had the latest post and was thinking "Oh he won't be mad will he? Did he work hard on that last one?". Just make the player basic, because I'm working on my own player complete with animations, which is nearly ready!

Also, collision with walls can use colours, just not the door sprite.

Put the script on the door itself, just to put less lag onto the player who will have scripts for tons of different doors.

So how is it doing? Also, can you link me to your test acccount so I can friend it? I want to be able to quickly see the tests for this game. Or you could just add me XD

No problem. School comes first, I understand, same for me. Yeah, I should get some done then too!
