Thanks for all support so far everyone :). I've seen at least 10 people wearing the support userbar in their signatures, and this very thread now gets around 100 views a day, even during days with no posts :). Thanks again for all those who want to see this awesome game come to fruition, you're just as awesome :)

I unfortunately did not get much done the past few days -- but I did finish around 30 more indoor tiles.  Programming wise, its in real shambles, 1% done at most.  But, I think it'll be 2-3 more weeks before I get into coding mode -- I want all the graphics done first.  So, small update I guess :)
The traffic is probably because this game sounds so awesome! And any update is important, if it brings the program closer to completion.


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.

Well, goal not Met :( I only made around 40 new ones.

But, however, made it up by making tons of enemy and NPC sprites

Don't be sad, I'm sure there's enough time.

I probably have at least 60-70 more years left in my life, I think I'll have enough time ;D

I actually think people with our age will live longer than adults of nowadays.

small update today:

I have compression working so I can store maps at 10 bits per tile each, instead of 16 like before :)  2 bits should be enough for basic collision detection (right now only values 0-2 are used for walkable space, wall, and moveable block -- I might use 3 for a swimming engine or a damaging tile thing)

It then decompresses the screen from ~120 byte to ~300 byte screen in RAM in under a hundredth of a second :)

Also, got tilemapping working.

So, my assembly skills are improving along the way :)

Are you using your custom library to make this?

That's cool, so this will only be finished when the library is so too, right?

well, not completely ;)

I only need the 4 level grayscale routines for this -- but then again, the library should be finished long before this, so yes TaNF will not be finished until the library is finished :)

Nice about the compression stuff. I'm glad to see new updates. Any new screenshot soon? (new tiles and stuff)
