Elysian Shadows

Nice work. Does the collision change with the depth warp? Like for example, to stop you from walking down through the ladder when you're underneath the platform, but still allowing you to walk up the ladder to get on top of the platform. I always wondered how that was handled in games like this.

Finally picked this up again now that exams and life are out of the way for a bit. Weapon collecting and switching! http://i.imgur.com/tNbq1DL.gif Added weapon switching, this is gonna be interesting for the game design since I'll have to find some way of keeping the gameplay balanced with the diffe...

Write a regular expression to match the given texts using the fewest character possible (hence "golf").

Quite entertaining, I ended with 3263 points. Can you beat it?

Today I learned that I need to learn more regex

Thanks It'll be especially useful for adding secret rooms

Amazing how fast this is progressing, looking awesome Ryan. Very true, a lot of the time when showing this game I can't really display what I've been working on because a lot of it is in the engine / back end. Keep in mind, this is a programming forum. Just because we like pictures doesn't mean we ...

Yeah coding issues can sometimes be a black hole, just getting started sucks even more because it's not very sexy looking at just code. Everyone just wants to see the graphics and gameplay. It's not all fun and games but when it works out then the effort is rewarding. Very true, a lot of the time w...

That first video looks like you are playing far away, an optical illusion with the lighting. :D Haha, you're right. The shadows make the black squares look like really tall pillars. It's actually kind of awesome. Haha, I noticed that before, too. Some people I've sent the game to actually thought i...

That first video looks like you are playing far away, an optical illusion with the lighting. :D How many levels have you built so far? I've only got the one test level in there at the moment, but the level editor is in so I've been slowly adding to it when I'm bored :) Got a lot more stuff I want t...

Decided to try plugging my controller in



Been busy adding lots of stuff to the game, added some more prompts and made the game look better, and made a (maybe temporary) soundtrack.



Might put a video up soon

I added some levers n doors n shit





And a new enemy type





As well as health bars!

You still working on this? It looks awesome.

The creator of the game Monaco: What's Yours is Mine , Andy Schatz, posted some Facebook notes back in 2010 on how his game did lighting. Personally, I found them to be an interesting read back then. I'm sure :worship: Falco has some edjukation resources that he could share on how he does lighting ...

Thanks guys :D And yeah, loading is instantaneous. We'll see how that goes when the levels get bigger, I'm sure it'll still be plenty fast though.

This is fucking amazing!!

I made a Youtube video to show off the level editor a bit, since it's quite complete now.
