I didn't try the latest version but this looks great. Glad this is still somewhat alive.

Wow, different vehicles? Looking nice!

The tank doesnt look right

Did you see the note, about how the turret's drawn separately?

Also I don't agree with the flying lobster. I understand you would like to put a meme in, but it kinda does not fit in :\

Yeah, idk why I put that in there tbh.  I think I had some empty slot in the drawing program and I didn't feel like shuffling stuff around so I just put some random thing there instead and didn't even bother to make it look presentable

If you need help on the plane I'd be happy to help

Sounds great!  I've been looking around but none of the sprites I've found give the impression that I'm going for--the wing appearing to go straight out to the side rather than pointing down. :|
E: just to clarify I've looked at other sprites/pics only for ideas on how to do something, like when I was trying to make the jeep I had google images open.  Not going around copying

While messing with the camera panning, the nature of it means it tends to swing around a lot.
Aside from that, the way I draw the background is only the side coming in is kept track of.  The side going off the screen is just sent off the screen.  When the direction changes, it just re-uses the vars from the other side, sometimes making unsightly one-pixel-tall skyscrapers etc.
As I was testing these two things came together and I noticed multiple obvious problems with the background, and don't feel like going in to fix it. (and tbh I hardly remember how it works anyway)

So, starting on custom backgrounds.  Eventually if I want some level diversity I'll end up doing them anyway so might as well start early on.
I don't really have any ideas for them except that I'm doing a city one, so this is my way of asking if people want to make some

I'm thinking of having two screenlengths (128 pixels wide, 28 tall) each of the two buffers (front/back, 3lvl grayscale), tho there's a change I might be flexible with it?
They're scrolled separately from each other, so they prolly shouldn't be dependent on having a building in a certain place or something..
Also it should be tilable horizontally.

If you want to make one or two or whatever than TIA, otherwise keep an eye out for a screenie (maybe beta if I get to debugging) sometime in the next week or so

this is fantastic =D. i can't remember ever having seen parallax scrolling done so well. it gets really messy when the character jumps up in front of the grey, though. you should probably keep platforms fairly short to avoid much of that.

I've been slow replying to this thread, but this looks really good Nice work. As for your question 2 pages back about shooting mode, I chose not to use "physic" style in Zombie Gun. It does look a little weird at times, but both methods have odd side effects: without the "physic" style for example other bullets could catch up to ones fired when running

Speaking of parallax scrolling, I got stored backgrounds to work.  Not implemented in the game itself but it's going in soon...

There's a bug regarding writing from the right side of the screen (it's reading the bit after the one it should be reading) but for the most part it's working like a charm
(also in the process of fixing it )


Edit: added source+exec+appvars that need to be in archive for debugging stuffs

In that screenie before your latest one, are those Japanese characters? If so, what do they say?

(I have a feeling that they make me lose, for some odd reason)
