Here's a grass animation I made for you. Should be a little less distracting ;)

The normal size version


The blown up version


Not quite was I was trying for, but I think it looks nice.

Here's a 96x64 tiled view (as if it filled the screen)



I made the grey by drawing it in B/W then applying a 1x1 gaussian blur. Then I posterized it to 4 colors.

I'm currently working on a possible battle engine. What did we say already ? In-game, turn-based, or something ?

Since you're the one working on it, you get a great deal of sway in that area. I think the consensus was turn-based, due to its simplicity and separation from the map. Being more separate helps in big group projects like this.

Also, a better version of the grass: No black, just the 2 grays and white. It's also more uneven.

Okay, so I go for turn-based. And your grass seems to be nice :)

Yeah. I should probably put it in a separate thread, though.

Right, there's a OmniRPG Sprites thread.

Bump,

I've made a cool transition, to switch between normal view and battle view. I planned several ones since there will surely be several levels of monsters.

I took a frame of Xeda's gif as the starting map.



prgmANIMS is the source (Axe) and prgmBATTLE the executable.

EDIT : broken image, I replaced this one with the new version. It's the same animation but not the same program

First, that is an awesome transition scene!

As to using Buf(), there may be a problem. Does Axe store the buffer in the program? If so, that will be a waste of 896 bytes because I only need it temporarily.

Yeah, Buff() is the same as a lot of .db statements. But you can still use an appvar that you can create, use and then delete accordingly to what amount of free RAM you need at a certain moment.

Moar transitions !

Same as above :


Burning image (classic one) :


Pixelate and light (you don't see the contrast effect on the screenshot) :


Split image :


To test, put a number between 0 and 3 in Ans and then run prgmBATTLE with Pic0 in RAM :)

I love the pixelate animation, but it looks like the screen gets shifted down 8 pixels first...? Anyway, it's super cool.

EDIT: and what do you need the buffer for? If the graph buffer isn't enough i'm sure you can fit whatever you need into saferam (much easier than creating/deleting a variable).

It's only due to the pixelate effect I guess (by seeing the code). And thanks :) now I'll carry on with the real battle engine(s ?).

Be sure to make it have something special about it. We don't want Yet Another Boring Final Fantasy Clone on our hands.

Those transitions are awesome, by the way!

I thank of an isometric view of the battles, where your characters are on the left of a 4*8 isometric platform while enemies are on the right (it involves that battles can't have more than 8 fighters, 4 on each side). For now it looks like this (attached), so I planned your guys to stand on the 4 last cubes (bottom left corner of the pic) and the bad guys to stand on the 4 first (top right corner).

What's your opinion ?

That sounds pretty cool. Would you be moving in that grid?
