I mean scrolling like in Ash: Phoenix, where he can always ends up 8 pixels away, but its still smooth.  Maybe I'll just use a for loop...

Funnily enough, my one game where scrolling is really important, I don't use Horizontal and Vertical.  :P

How are you doing the scrolling w/o Horiz/Vertical? (Unless you're redrawing the screen every time?) Or you can go zelda style scrolling, like in Verdante Forest, Trio and Niko and most older Zelda games, where you only scroll when you get to the edge of the screen...

Oh and btw, in Ash:Phoenix you always end up 12 pixels away since the tiles are 12x12 :P I found it incredibly difficult to attempt spriting anything that remotely resembled a human in 8x8 lol

your character is 12x12?  Mine is 8x16.  ;)
Oh, yeah, I'm redrawing the screen everytime for now so I can control moving, as it slows it down quite a bit, I'm having some testing features, so I need it like that.  ;)

also, my map scrolls for every step I take.  :P

Hmmm...  The razing animations are aalmost done, but its not always working for some reason...  Also I added some dialogue, and an small closet.  I'll get a very early demo out this weekend.  ;)  to be hoonest, it looks nothing like my earlier screenie.  :P

EDIT:  it seems Gateways follows this rule:
12.  Poor Little Rich Hero (Meis Rule)
If the hero comes from a rich and powerful family, it will have fallen on hard times and be broke and destitute by the time the game actually starts.

Triple Post lol.

Anyway, Demo of tilemapper here.  Talk to your mom and dad, do what your father says, thats all you can do now.  kinda pointless.  but im really just making more maps now before i work on the battle engine.  ;)

Actually, nvm, I'm getting ti-connect errors, and I have to go eat.  I'm gonna restart the comp for now, go eat, and then upload.  ;)
Got it.  ;)

Update/Early Storyline Spoiler Which I'm Spoiling Because You're gonna find out the next Demo anyway :P:

I have finished the code for your very first "Gateway".  In this world, there are many Portals/Gateways.  However, there are only Five Portals of Time, which are crucial to your success.  After you get your sword and move out of the closet, You will be transported out of the house, and to the Courtyard of the Palace.  When you journey back...

I'm not spoiling anymore, but the next part is probably quite obvious.  ;)

2nd triple post.  ;)

bare bones map of area right out side of house,  keep in mind that while these are 16x16 sprites, The Game (I lost :P) scrolls at 8 pixel increments, and the character is 8x16.

time to spend a long time adding the hex in...

I suggest that you make a map editor that produces a string that you can rcl into your program. It will probably save a lot of time in the long run. In Ash:Phoenix, my map editor doesn't even produce hex anymore, it actually makes changes to and saves to the map appvar itself, which is a bit easier than producing hex actually (but it doesn't work if you aren't planning on having an external appvar for maps :P)

my earlier screenie.
Where's the screenie? ???

EDIT: Nevermind, it just didn't load for some reason... It looks kinda nice, especially the characters, although I hope you fix the grayscale during NPC convos. :P

I'm bored of typing a lot of Data ATM, and when i have so much more to do, I can do it in whatever order I want.  :P

Meaning: I'm working on a battle engine right now.  ;)
for now, I'm using a black 32x32 block for sprites, since I haven't had time to make one yet, but storing attacks and reading them is functional now.  ;)

I see, glad to see more progress :). I wonder if you will have screenshots/mockups soon? :P

I also wonder what will be the attack names and enemy types in general. Will the game be more magic-focused in general or more battle-moves?
