Heh. I was awfully suspicious that it was a spambot too, but I failed to find any evidence after a bit of googling. I should have checked the username instead of the post content.

Lately I've been slack about checking whether newly registered users are bots. Just caught up and deleted five. Generally, surprisingly, most of the new users with zero posts clearly aren't spambots. But I was surprised that corramier, who posted recently about swords for banishing demons, did turn out to be a spambot. Crafty bots.

This is a spam post. The robot will go back an edit it to add the spam links after some interval of time has passed.

EDIT: I guess I should say how I know. The format of the question, combined with the fact that this is a first post made me suspicious, so I googled the username. All the hits were forums. All the accounts were created 1 month ago and all the first-posts were within the past few days, and all of them were similarly formatted questions on topics that were general enough to not look like non-sequiturs in most forums.

(Edit: spam post I was replying to was deleted)

I've no idea. But you'll probably need to ask elsewhere to get much of a response. Since this is a pretty general question about amateur music creatino, you could go to some forums for game development, such as tigsource, or Google around. For OHRRPGCE-specific discussion, http://www.slimesalad.com is the best place to ask.

It makes me think of the older Game boy games. Brings back some good memories.

I look forward to seeing more from you.

Can't really give any particular feedback, but I like it that you have your own unique style and the style's quality is good enough for me to play such a game.

I had completely forgotten (though I had put it in my TODO list, that thing grows faster than I can get through it). Since you do want it fixed, I'll try not to delay it overly long.

Thanks for the tips. I also do have the foot offset changed, I guess I took these screenshots before I made that adjustment.

These are wonderful! You have not just one, but two unique art styles (for an OHR game anyway).

On the map with the side perspective, where you are walking on platforms around a column, I notice that the characters feet are several pixels over the bottom of the platform. You can fix that easily by setting a footoffset in the settings for that map.

Maybe add some details to the water?

If you want to make the diagonal stripes which have a spacing of 3 pixels line up between neighbouring tiles, I would probably use map layers to achieve it, rather than having to make lots of variations of the tiles with the stripes offset by 3 different amounts. Create 3 versions of the stripes which cover the whole tile, so that they can line up at their edges, and place these on a bottom layer. On a higher layer, place triangular half-transparent tiles over the stripe times as needed.

Hmmm... If I was trying to do this in my own game, I think I would use an each-step script.

Code:

plotscript, each step sound effect, begin
if(get hero speed(me) >> 4) then(
play sound(5)
)
end

This assumes that a single instance of the sound takes about the same time as a running step.

I like this method because it is very simple, but the downside is that it plays the sound as you complete each step, rather than as you begin each step, so it might not sound right if you move one step and then stop immediately instead of really running.

Here is another slightly more complicated method which uses the "loop" argument of the "play sound" command to start the effect looping.

Code:

plotscript, each step sound effect, begin
if(get hero speed(me) >> 4) then(
if(not(sound is playing(5))) then(
play sound(5,true)
)
)else(
if(sound is playing(5)) then(
stop sound(5)
)
)
end

Although this method is more complex, it is nice because it gives you more control. It doesn't matter if the sound effect does not match up exactly with the length of time it takes to run a step. You could also integrate this method into a "on keypress" script instead of an "each step" script if you want the sound effect to play as soon as you start moving, and stop as soon as you release the run key.
