Here is the cross-post from cemetech showing more details:
The game is around 75% finished, and I said I would update around that time.

The opening, the middle, and the end are completed, fully drawn and scripted.

Another major puzzle was added, it involves paintings.   

The only things left to implement are a few rooms right after the opening cutscene, one more simple item puzzle, and the closing cutscene.

Since my friend and I split the graphics work to save time, I'm just waiting for his half to finish, then I can get to working on save/load and bug testing.


Post some comments, questions, etc....


Not mentioned in cemetech is size.... Approaching 13000 bytes D:

Wow 75% already. Nice. One thing, though, are you allowed to get graphical help from other people for the contest or is the only help disallowed just for programming and the like?

I have a program that draws the rooms with code, and then saves to pic1 for fast recall. With this method, many rooms can be made with 1 picture and saves 1000's of bytes.

Help with code in any way is forbidden, unless you are on a team. Me and this person are developing this game as a group, therefore we are allowed to help each other. I am _NOT_ allowed to ask for programming help from anybody not making the game. I can ask ideas and such, but that's all. The only exception is for DCS code help, like if you run into a bug.

Oooh I see, so the contest allows groups. And yeah I could understand about DCS, since it wasn't out yet and now just came out, not to mention the fact a lot of the features are still new to most people.

My guess is lists? But I don't know. Probably wrong.

Anywho, glad to see this is getting close to done! Can't wait ;D

Edit:
Sorta ninja'd :P

I do use lists for items and save/load, which I am proud to say is now complete in only 200 bytes.

Nice. Do you use some sort of compression? I used some in ROL3 and Illusiat 13 for file saving. Illusiat 13 save file was so incredibly large before compression, because your inventory can hold 100 items.

I plan to, if time permits.

And qazz42's brilliant idea: A puzzle.
It would consists of rocks or large boulders that you must move to progress, but there would be so many and so heavy that there is a certain order they must be done in. Quite clever. I'm still thinking of a way to put this in qazz42. Thanks again.

That would be cool. Puzzles spice up that kind of game a lot sometimes (as long as they aren't as hard to solve as the ones in Donut Quest)

As far as I know, most puzzles are easy enough so that you might not need the walkthrough, however there is one puzzle that was so hard, I had to dumb it down twice.  :P

In Clash II, I plan for there to be a difficulty level for puzzles.
