Actuallly keep in mind that this Illusiat 7 timer was updated around late 2002 or early 2003, though. Beforehand, my coding skills was very limited and because of this, when the timer reached a single digit amount of seconds, time displayed as 11:9 instead of like 11:09

. That was fixed sortly afterward without too much speed loss. The game was also pure basic, no ASM for switching automatically between chapters. The ASM programs to do that were only added during the timer update (and added in Illusiat 9 too) because before you had to switch manually like the other games.

It would be funny if I actually found an old version of Illusiat 7 still like that (I know I had a version 0.70 of ROL3 somewhere...)

Okay......... I changed the whole game system.
At least, the walking system. The game will be in side view, like the metroid pure and stuff. This allows me to have a way better graphic. I already have a working engine, which I can enter into the building, talk to NPC, use ladders, jump around, and others. I can put up the screenshot today if I can get to my house computer (usually I get home really late, because wrestling practice ends around 5:30 and by the time i get to my house and eat and shower, etc. it's usually 9:00 and I have to do my homework.)

What I did in past 2 hours did more than what I tried to do with my old engine for 24+ hours. haha
The graphic looks sooooo good (although it is in ASCII graphic and on homescreen, through careful use of hidden characters and stuff, it looks really fine)

Nice! I can't wait for a screenshot! How do you handle buildings?

Edit: Also, are the buildings/towns top view or side view?

Nice, try to not rewrite the game over and over too much though (else projects tend to die this way, altough rewrites can be good sometimes). Also, if you do side-scrolling, I would advise against using a lot of walking NPCs and enemies, else it will run very slow. I never got able to get over 1.5 FPS in Metroid 2 Evolution even with just one single enemy moving around

Sounds good! Can't wait for a screeny!
Also yay! Another wrestler!

The NPCs won't be moving around and the monsters will be random encounter (gotta work on my battle engine!!! it's so hard making one)
And the building is in side-view.
It looks like the buildings and NPCs are in the background and you walk over it, but if you press "up" you enter the building/talk to NPCs, etc.

I know the feeling.

My battle system is what has put Nyaar in such a long hiatus. >.<

yeah i hate trying to design them in such a way that will be easy to use and easy to see.
Implanting the use of different skills and their animation is very difficult to do also.
I am constantly messing with the graph screen to see how i should design it, but it just won't do it

Btw back in 2005, I had this idea of side scrolling RPG in mind after trying xLIB the first time. Illusiat 13 was originally gonna be a side-scroller, with a storyline extremly similar to the defunct ROL4 project from 2007. Finally I kind of lost interest

Nice engine! I see you have tiles that you can walk over, yet you don't erase them after you continue on, its a nice touch, and the the ASCII graphics are really nice!

What do u mean by ~~SACHII~~?? do u mean ASCII?

Good thing I did not see the post before the edit. I would have thought Builderboy is getting obsessed with lolis like Geno

jsj795 · « **Reply #133 on:** December 11, 2009, 01:46:17 pm »

I am making more rooms and events, coming out pretty nicely. I guess after I implement battle system and such, and basic storyline, it will be ready for alpha release. I hope battle engine doesn't eat me alive again o.o

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #134 on:** December 11, 2009, 01:50:22 pm »

That's good. For now, what battle engine system are you planning? Is it like Illusiat or other traditional RPGs or will it be more like Tales Of Phantasia?
