Ok I do hope we still have 11 staff afterward (not counting any other staff that might be hired by then or in the future)

I'm almost done with the basics of my Save/Load system. I should have a screenie up later tonight to show you what I've done.

EDIT: It's now uploaded.

Here's a ss of what I've been working on:



and


(character moves 4 pixels at a time vs. 2 in the first ss)

First question: Do you think it's better to move 4 pixels at a time or just 2 pixels at a time? With the 2 p/m (pixels per move), I was going to have animated walking (sprite for each step, and I think it would look alright. But with the 4 p/m, you can walk faster, which might be better if I have larger areas to walk through. Just wondering what you guys think is better.

Second question: Do you think the GS is too much flickering? I wanted to go with a GS character (I doubt I'll do GS background), but after I first got it to work, it seemed to me that it flickered a tad too much for my liking. I already have the B&W sprites in case I decide to switch. Also it would be faster if I did just B&W. So, does the GS look good enough or should I switch to B&W?



BTW all sprites and tiles will be 16x16.

EDIT: Hmm.. After watching the ss's again, I've decided wabbitemu sucks with GS..

That's probably your problem :D

#1: If you have really large maps I'd say 4 p/m since otherwise it would get really boring and frustrating (ever play the original pokemon blue/red without a bike? :'()

#2: You could just add in more flicker commands (or whatever they are, like the real(1 or real(3 commands to make the gray).  Does the grayscale look better on-calc?

And I see you got the direction thing working.  It looks nice  ;D

It looks a little better on calc. I'll try adding the flicker commands in to make it better.

EDIT: I've decided to just go with B&W. It save speed and space, and is a lot easier.

Haha partially.. I just think it won't look good having a GS character with a normal background. Plus I'd like to have other stuff go on and it would make the GS go slower if I did both.

GS char would be cool, but a animated char would be better IMO..Also, 4pixels is fine!

Well now that I'm positive I'm gonna go with B/W sprites with animation, it's now time to convert all my sprites to hex... woot. I should have a screenie sometime this weekend of my walking sprite with animation.

I would go with b/w animated. Grayscale is quite hard to both keep fast and not flickery sometimes. I can't wait for next screenie :)

Yeah that's what I figured as well, so that's what I'm doing. It might be a little bit before I have a new screenie. right now I'm working on tile sprites and new map/walking engine, and it's taking me a while to draw good sprites.
