Nice progress. I like the stamina gauge and the song. Did you made it geekboy1011?

It was our secret hybrid Netham-DJ clone who made it! ;)
j/k :P

Yep, geekboy1011 has epic music talents with whatever it is he made the song in :D

heck yes! :D

Anywho, promised theoreticals update:

I'm not exactly sure of all of the bitmap mechanics in Allegro so at the moment, I'm not sure how feasible my idea is for the environment engine. I'm thinking of generation a transparent bitmap and putting all the sprites on that. Then, whenever Nanami moves, the code first checks for pixels of non 255,0,255 (magic pink aka transparent) and if there are any and overlap is imminent, Nanami doesn't progress forward. However, this would render Nanami unable to move behind larger sprites like pillars, walls, or trees.
My idea to circumvent the limitation is very TI-BASIC-esque. Essentially, the map would be "grid-ified" and all environment sprites would be constrained to WxH pixel grid areas. Then, the code would check each individual grid space to see if it's transparent or a "go-behind" sprite. The problem there is that this would be a MASSIVE chunk of coding that would render everything slow as fudge....

Hmmm.... suggestions?

do it layered just add a 3rd layer of transparent over the pink layer which has your pass behind objects and at the same time for the "base" of those objects put an obstacle on the first sprite sheet if that makes sense

When I have time, I'll start working on some dummy environment sprites and get started on the environment engine.

Now, the main issue to address is how to store and create the map. Again, suggestions?

Bump, theoreticals update:

The environment is going to consist of three bitmaps --two "environment" bitmaps and the "interaction" bitmap. The "environment" bitmaps are, as their names imply, the environment. The actual object sprites appear on these bitmaps. The "interaction" bitmap is a concealed bitmap beneath the "environment" bitmaps that directs the game as to what it needs to do. Whenever Nanami moves, it is this bitmap that is checked to see what should or shouldn't happen. The currently proposed format is thus:

Red areas represent impassible areas. Nanami/Rika/etc CANNOT move onto areas that are this color on the interaction bitmap.
Blue areas represent event triggers. Walking onto these will trigger game events (e.g. cutscenes).
Green areas represent interaction points. If you press the "action" button (think A button in Zelda 64 games) on one of these, Nanami/Rika will perform a given action (e.g. open a chest or door, read a letter, etc)

Pink areas represent typical, walkable land. The Dream World's typical draining effects happen here.
Purple areas represent miasma areas. They can be walked on, but the 10x draining effect happens here.
Yellow areas represent sanctuary areas. They can be walked on and the recovery effect happens here.

Oh, and note: there are two environment bitmaps because the environment engine integrates with the movement engine like this:
 > Environment bitmap 1
 > Nanami's bitmap
 > Environment bitmap 2

Essentially, it allows Nanami to be in front of or behind given objects.

Edit: to clarify something, the "atmosphere" tiles that govern what happens to your health simply set a variable that determines which drain/restore routine gets used. If you step on a purple one then a green one, you'll still have miasma effect. It takes stepping on a different "atmosphere" tile to change it.

Song? ' _ '
Sorry, I've been daft the last few days, refresh my brain? `-`;;

Also, I'm going to try to get enough of the environment engine started to show it off by Saturday or Sunday.

This one:
Also, just to throw this out here for lack of better updates: I contacted Motoi Sakuraba in regards to using a song from the Golden Sun soundtrack in my game and received a reply telling me to go to Camelot as while Sakuraba composed the music, Camelot holds the copyright. I am going to compose a letter in the next few days and mail it to Camelot asking if I can either have permission to use the song or buy a license allowing me to. We'll see how that goes. The song in question is the Venus lighthouse theme from GS1 and 2:

Why do I want to use it in my game? You'll find out if I get to ;P

Oh, right, that. Still need to send the letter. Will do eventually, whenever I go back home.
