Blade Brothers Engine: Creating my first 2D Game Engine

[GroundUpEngine]

starting from scratch is usually the way to go in these situations, would probably take a lot less time

Agreed

Well, since no where in the world seems to have any sort of reference on how to do the movement I want to do, I started tackling it myself.
It works 100% exactly how I want to movement wise, now I just need to fix how the buttons react to give a more fluid feel when pressing them, and give it the best feeling in moving the character.

Then collision fucks up too, but I can fix that.

There comes a point when it seems there no longer exists a tutorial to suit your needs. When you find yourself here, you're standing on the line between someone who can read and alter code, and someone who is a true programmer. All there is left to do is to take that final step into the abyss that is the world of creating your own ideas and implementations.

Yes it is man, it's a huge step in the right direction for me.
With this down, a huge chunk of the engine is taken care of.
Now is when I polish what I have, and then I can expand deeper into the really fun stuff!

Unfortunately though, I still have some Toolkit bugs, but once those are taken care of, it's gonna get epic up in this shit.
The next course of action is to get Lua back in the Engine, and get some NPCs and stuff moving around and doing shit.
With text already in the engine now (shitty font aside ) I can focus on getting pop-up text boxes like in the old FF style.

Next I'll tackle the toolkit, and after that I'll put down a list of what I'm gonna be doing next in the engine.

Thanks everyone for your support, you've been a big help to get this far, even if it's not that big of an update, this is my first game engine.
