The game is released, you can find more info here: https://www.omnimaga.org/news/reuben-quest-lost-between-times-22408

Yes, I'm working on a third part of the game.
Have a teaser:

I got some pretty neat stuff planned on this, and I hope you guys'll like it once I decide to publicly announce them

Also note how this won't be only my work (sprites, story, map etc.)

EDIT:
Maybe this will be the start map

I believe the trees make this game really distinctive.

The upwards movement is a bit wobbly!

It's the same moving animations as the previous game. The difference is that it is now fully masked without any slowdown

Imma tease you guys some more

Yay, you got transitions working!

Sorunome · « **Reply #5 on:** February 19, 2015, 04:19:16 pm »

Also they are less choppy on real hardware.

Those transitions look awesome!

Perhaps if Reuban didn't disappear when the screen moved?

Sorunome · « **Reply #7 on:** February 19, 2015, 05:58:24 pm »

That not disappearing is easier said than done, the thing is that he'd have to evenly move 8 pixels over, then, and needs to get (masked) re-drawn and shifted all the time....

Someday you should use one of my engines since you would actually make good use of it

EDIT: I mention this because I use magic to get the smooth-scrolling background to work without breaking the player sprite.

Looking awesome Sorunome!

Guess what I think about when falling asleep

Anyways, i bet my version will be waaaay to choppy >.> Just keep in mind i only scroll when reaching the sides, and the player thus also changes position each frame
EDIT: Oh, also only 6MHz allowed and it is twice the data due to grayscale >.>

EDIT2:
Do you notice that I don't actually move reuben?

Yea, about that. At some point, somewhere along the line we messed up Reuben's sprite so his head moves. Maybe he broke his neck? Whoops!

If it's on the sprite end, I'll get it fixed shortly.

*Edit* Yepp, it was me. When I mirrored the front facing sprite I failed to realize that Reuben's head would shift over one pixel since it wasn't centered. Whoopsie!

I'm going to give him a refresh and see if I can't make him look a bit better overall.

I have some Reuben stuff that I need to copy over from my old PC that I originally did this stuff on. Should be pretty quick as I have it hooked up and running now.

*Edit 2* I realize Nano's post is probably talking about something other than Reuben's walk cycle (Zeda pointed out the walk cycle in IRC anyhow though). When he walks upwards,(Reuben has his back turned to you) his head doesn't shift. It only occurs currently when he's walking downwards (Reuben is facing you).

Here's a WIP of these sprites. Not sure how they'll look animated yet as I haven't tossed it in anything to view the animation. Also included a recolor attempt to the left. 2x size for viewability as always.

Just wanted to try to get these posted before bed, so there may be silly mistakes as well.

Sorunome · « **Reply #13 on:** February 21, 2015, 10:19:36 am »

Yay, new sprites

But I'll wait until you verified their functionality, hehe

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2015, 05:25:10 pm »

A little more work and a animated mockkup:
