first song i made meant to be heard in a loop background music of some kind

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

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

Looks cool geekbozu!

Also, for TsukasaZX... You're using it right?

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

Np mate its what im here for (shitty typing and all )

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.

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