Pretty good, got all the UI done, just tweaking spinning mechanic to make sure it's ((fun)) and has ((feedback))

Is it bad to make a game with allegro? I notice a lot of the tutorials for it are really old which makes me think it doesn't get many updates, and it also doesn't seem that powerful. I'm just making a simple platformer with metroid-style level layout (i.e., levels occupying a global grid) but I wonder if there are better tools I could be using.

Added a second enemy class, which is faster and can dodge.

Semi-Related, in that I finally finished up a commission, which asked me to write a sega genesis-style track based off of Shining Force:

With this finished up and payment received, I can devote more time into my other project, the shmoop game, working on music/sound with another artist (we've been talking about where to take the sound design from here).

looks good! I've been meaning to add a few thoughts to the general email chain. In general we've been lucky to get such good feedback from around the web. One thing I'll need to ask you is the best way around GM's audio compression.

I would probably recommend checking out Construct 1 or 2, since it is pretty newb-friendly. They can do just about all you want in the realm of 2D, though moving out of its basic commands will require dicking around with tutorials.

>>376573903
Alright, thank you! would you suggest 1 or 2?

>>376573849
I like the artistic style of your game

>>376573849
make the trees leafier or something so they're not just green blobs.

>>376574014
If you are just messing around and wanting to learn, learning 2 is a bit easier as it is actively supported, however, its free demo doesn't run the full monty of features. C1 is freeware but not supported. I would say either, but I would wager that C2 is easier to learn and understand as it is a bit more streamlined.

>>376575307
Cool. I know it is a stupid question, but would i be able to pull off flinthook level sprite art on construct 2 or lower, is there a limit?

Just about any engine.

Objects are moving in a fixed grid with fixed variables without real physics or collisions. It's all assets and math and the are all independent of each other.

Actually, fuck you! That should be relatively easy to make!

>>376575390
more than possible with either, though Construct 2 will only let you program 100 "events" or lines of code in the free demo, whereas this limitation does not exist with the older C1.

>>376570724
man, i'm thinking about learning to make something like that too

Gave up as soon as I started animating the one sprite that I made. I realized I didn't know how to animate or keep things consistent, so I'm going back to square one and learning how to draw/sprite and what not. I'll never make the lewd game I wanted at this rate.

I'll never make a game, all I fucking do is idea guy

>>376568187
No feeling of impact. The enemies need to spasm hard when theyre hit and maybe shake violently. Or you could add screenshake or a 1 frame delay for every hit like platinum games do.

i tried making something a bit biggr on unity but it fried my small laptop.

also the reason i chose to do a video game "demake" of an existing game rather than come up with something original is cause i suck at story and character design.
