Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Sorry, I can't tell left from right - I meant the top left of the picture editor, in the row of icons next to the new/open/save ones. There's a screenshot of the picture editor in this thread:

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1213 232

... I never found the icon, but I somehow managed to fix the transparency problem by filling the black in inside of the picture editor.

So anyway guys, I have begun work on my first game, sort of, It's in effect, based on a very bad pun, It's called Rorioware, and you guessed it, it's a warioware clone. So this brings inherent problems, such as what can I make for the various minigames? and how can I keep the filesize down?

didn't wanna put this here until it passed judgement, but here's my first little attempt at something simple.

Messing around with some sounds.

Scratch that: This version is superior. I would've used a static engine movement, but this was purely for testing purposes.

I'm almost ashamed for triple posting, but the controls are as follows, so no one gets confused:

Z to jump
X to dash

How do you make it so that X is dash? I've been playing around with conditions but i haven't seen how to do it.

Also they're cool, btw. I tried the turtle skeleton one (forgot his name) earlier and liked it.

It's actually a lot easier than it would seem. For the basic built-in movement, it's all about playing around with maximum speed, and with a custom movement engine, there's normally some sort of alterable value controlling dash speed.

I've uploaded the .mfa for you to take a look at, if you want the actual example file to work off of. Be warned: It's pretty sloppy right now.

Hell fuckin' yeah.

Pretty proud of it so far.

Again: Z to jump and X to dash. Get closer and further away from the stereo to hear some wonderful music! Get close to one of the first waterfalls to hear some of the ambient sounds of rushing water! Feeling overwhelmed? Just run away from the sources, and all but your footsteps will cease to annoy you.

Lovely motion parallax too! Looks great; your next challenge should be to find a way to compress that filesize... surely something like that can be less than 3.2MB?

It looks like you're really taking to this program :D good job man.

Actually, it's been laying around on my hard drive for something like a year now, but I was never truly inspired to start learning the ropes of it until this came out. Now with the possibility of building up some rep in the portal, I'm eager to learn as much as I can so that my first game is a good as it can be.

Also, regarding filesize, I'm gonna try and group the events in different ways to see if it makes a difference. Filesize reduction is one of the most painstaking parts of finishing a game, I'm sure.

It's not very good but I tried.

Just thought I'd let you guys know. :)

I've actually used TGF 1 and TGF2 for about 4 years. I pretty much know (just about) everything about it.

So ask me anything.

I want to recommend to everyone an incredible series of tutorials by this guy.

Take a look at his platformer tutorials. They're incredible for anyone still wanting to learn how to go beyond the capabilities of the built-in movement.

Also, managed to reduce the filesize of my sound testing to 2.4 MB, as opposed to the previous 3.2. There's a little loss in quality from the previous build, though.

Hey can anyone help me out? im making a 2d platform and i need to know 2 things,

1. how do i get the score to carry over to the next board without having start over at 0
2. how do i make it so when i fall off the screen i respwan at the main platform of the level?

1 --
Many options -- a couple easy ones are:
A --- Use the Player Icon score holder its global to your whole game
B -- Usa a global value to hold your score and then retrieve it on other frames

This is where you find the player icon and its score holding actions

2 -- Make an event for when you player falls off and then create a new player at the location you desire

Thanks, well heres what i got down so far http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/e32c 858a1d6d95c405af5ad3de6dfb3b i need to add a background, 19 more levels, a title and game over screen, scores, and just a bunch of other stuff.

sweet I hope that this will really help out new guys like me in this field ff creating good games. see inghow its best to pratice i will come at least once a day to learn all i can to get far in this business. :D

wish yah luck

There's actually some wonderful tutorials here on how to make a multi-segment boss.

I have to say, damn, Clickteam.

That is one spiffy new opening logo.
