84000 tiles? :o That's definitely over 9000!

In Nostalgia, maps only have a handful of tiles. Actually only three different tiles, not counting objects or NPCs.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I count objects and NPCs in the 256 tile count :P, though I doubt I'll even be able to crank out 256 tiles :P (or 42kb of map)

Map sizes: I will have support for about 42kb of map. Can you say 84000 tiles? ;D
Tilesets: 256 unique tiles: 16 'themes'
Wow nice, what is the max size of one individual map?

Also, by 16 themes, I assume you mean half-byte tiles and palettes of 16 tiles, right?
updaaate!!~~~

-note: gray looks better on hardware :P
Looks great! Nice job so far!

Max size of an individual map is 100x100 right now, but I'm thinking about shrinking it to 50x50 and using whole bytes instead of nibbles...

Ah ok, you are running out of tiles per map, right? :(

Actually I am working fine (right now) with 16, but I think extending that would be helpful ;)
My main problem is size/speed issues with the walking engine :( (detailed further in the smoothscrolling tilemapper thread)

you might want to try making it 48x48 or 64x64 or some other power of two to pull some more speed from it :)

I would also move the char by 2 pixels rate so the speed is similar to other RPGs.

Weird, in the screenshot it seemed like 1 pixel ???à

I didn't look well, then. I guess 4 pixels, then. X.x
