Just a bit of an update
MAN I've finally gotten movement and attacking down without it being jank. It looks real now, it feels real too now that I have the animation speed dialed in. Also, SOUND! AND AN INTRO ANIMATION! (i couldn't make it flicker, that effect doesn't compile for some reason...) well, now just to make the rest of combat now that I know how to make it properly work, then the rubber really meets the road!
Hey guys, i'm a beginner currently making a top down action project and i'm trying to get a sort of zelda-combat feel, but the collision is causing me LOADS of problems. ive followed tutorials on the internet and here, but it just doesn't work like you, or at least, I, would think it should.
i've made workarounds, ive made looks like scripts, i don't know what else to do. could someone illuminate me to the finer points of top-down melee combat? it's pretty integral to the gameplay of my project, though i could write it to where the boy only uses projectiles i suppose.
I call the Title Screen art "Dusk of Crustacia" - it's been an image stuck in my head for a couple decades, always wondering what Crustacia looks like looking out, and away from land. I'm proud of it most of all, though I keep wanting to go monkey with the lettering just a LITTLE more... i'm an amateur though, be gentle on me lol
Also pictured are the my drafts for Aquagoth, and Thraxx, Respectively. They're likely to change now that ive seen what i can really do with GB Studio though so stay tuned to my account if you like Secret of Evermore or just like the art!
Just a fun little fan project I'm working on! I'm new and didn't know 4-color was only for the background, So i gotta remake Thraxx but I promise i'll do my best to make him just as good!
