[BETA] Aureus Dynasty (Again)

There's a lot more now. Everyone (the artist and the composers) is on vacation so I figure it's a good time for feedback. Purdy much half way there (I think).

That games looking awesome :) It's like ff2 all over again (i was playing a rom of it the other day :))

I like some of the characters talking :)

Keep up the great work

Phlook

Wow, looks great, scrolls smoothly. I like the menu you've set up for when you press the space bar.

Keep the updates coming!

Thanks.

No bugs? Suggestions?

damn, thats sick. did you use movieclips for each tile. i am interested in this tile engine, i am new to it.

another question. do you have to make the game screen small to allow for smooth scrolling?

No, but the director said the NES res is 256X240, so that's what I used.

The way my tile engine works (this may be the way everyone does it, I don't know) is I move the whole _root level like it is a camera:

code:

---

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

	this._x = -this.hero._x+stageWidth/2;

	this._y = -this.hero._y+stageHeight/2;

}

---

and after every move (since he "locks" to tiles) it calls a function to delete the previous row/colum and add a new one. For example if you moved down, when the hero reaches the new tile, the function will remove the top row of tiles and add a new row under.

I don't know how well I explained it but, good luck with it :D

i never new you could do that. hmm. whenever i've tried to do something like that i would place movieclips in a larger movieclip on the stage and then i would move that larger movieclip, but it always made the comp go slow. i'll try your method. thanks.

Oh, but when you do that, for things you want to stay in the same place do this:

code:

---

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

        this._x = -this.hero._x+stageWidth/2;

        this._y = -this.hero._y+stageHeight/2;

this.menu._x = 50-this._x;

this.menu._y = 10-this._y;

}

---

Replace 50 with whatever x and 10 with the desired y.

Thats almost exactly how I did this (less complicated) racing game I am working on, except since the car cannot lock to the tile, I set an invisible m/c up in the center to generate the next road.

Honestly the part I want to see is the battl engine (or whatever you wanna call it THE FIGHTING). As I have never seen the game you are trying to create I have no idea what it is like. I just know that it isn't cold enough here and I want to move to eoh (just like the soilder) . :) :) :) !!!! EOH!!!!

very nice! - looking forward to seeing this complete! :)

Thanks.
