Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
A solid nights coding, keeping track of the landed platforms, and there's now a proper level end condition. Feels good yo!

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
Added some lil bits to indicate score death and, finally just 3 lives ( although it's a bit late and they don't update in the display currently)
The game now returns to the menu screen a-okay after you die, ready for the next game to begin.

Had a cool looking bug whilst getting the return to menu screen thing working, here's a linky to it

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
I really like what you have done here! A nice original game that really stands out from the usual glut of platformers.
If you were interested in getting this professionally published by Epyx I would love to speak more with you.

Thanks for the compliment, it's coming along slowly but surely
I'm more than happy to be coding games with the team at Mega Cat Studios however.

That's cool. Been speaking with them for the last few days and hopefully we are going to be working on some projects together.rychan wrote:Thanks for the compliment, it's coming along slowly but surely

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
Now, time to flap through egypt!
Just a teaser pic, showing what I'll be aiming to get things to look like for this next set of levels.

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
Starting to get somewhere with the egypt levels tonight.
That and generating some fairly rough sound effects in code, adding the important invisibility flicker and. well, mostly playing the game inbetween all that.
Had a lil playtesting sesh before work with some workmate this morning they all agreed that it seemed fun but way too tough. Which is pretty much what I was expecting regarding difficulty. I'm not selecting levels from a batch or anything yet. Should be easy enough to do though when the time comes.

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
Restructured my ASM code to handle both dungeon and egypt level tilesets. Just need to sort out different level generation and change the enemy types around next

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
Got some much nicer egypt levels being generated now. they are a tad on the tough side but that can be balanced out with rng control.
Here's a lil gif of it.

Re: Flap Happy and Fancy Free
Aaand boshed out a mock-up for the space levels with some sprites from an old unreleased mobile game that I'll probably port to NES after this game's finished.
