Fucking around with my sidescroller engine thinking about doing an actual literal metroidvania.
Move with arrows and jump with z and backdash with s. No attacking yet just the basic engine.
Suggestions for the game's actual gameplay or the underlying engine and the like are welcome.
>> [_] OP 06/08/12(Fri)07:05 No.1694039
Also, give me any link or image of a sidescroller map and I can throw it in the game.

I would say maybe give the jumping a bit more hang time, it feels like you fall way too fast for
a platformer

the controls are slippery as fuck, it's like i'm laying on ball bearings

Agree with >>1694040 , it's way too twitchy, although I think the problem is that the upward
movement is too short compared to the down. People would probably develop motion sickness if they
watched it long enough.

Moonwalk maneuver: tap S and the direction opposite of where you want to go.

fixed, just decreased the gravity variable. Should I keep the height of the jump or increase it?

lol that is what we call backdash cancelling. Damn gotta fix that one :l

The height's probably okay, the problem is mostly just things moving faster than the player has
time to process.

I found a bug. I was doing what >>1694050 to the wall on the right where yo start and I suddenly
got transported to the top of the wall. You might wanna fix that.

Really? Well damn the game runs at 45 fps should I slow it down?

fixed now with decreased backdash distance

add optional WASD controls!

Can't say for sure, reducing the gravity may have been sufficient.
Looking at Super Metroid, the camera wasn't locked on Samus, but scrolled only after she had
reached a certain point to the sides. Doing something like that might improve things too.

jumping and tapping left and right = fly mode
>> [_] OP 06/08/12(Fri)08:01 No.1694067
Alright. So bux fixes
No more backdashcancelling teleport shit, decreased gravity, and better jumping. I'll work on the
camera adjustment and post an update.

If you hold Up Arrow for 3 sec.s he stands in MJ pose.
It's awesome!

if you 'slide' on one the platforms and fall, it doesn't display the fall animation

This, i found out by accident, and now i'm up where the purple dot is, cool stuff, needs
invisible walls or real walls so we can't get out of the map though.

lol yup little easter egg for ya
>>1694070 Yeah the sliding thing is a little broken for the moment :l

I like the Symphony of the Night layout you're using right now.
I'd recommend slowing the character down in general though. You said you fixed his upward speed,
but the side to side walking is far too fast right now.
>> [_] Anonymous 06/08/12(Fri)11:37 No.1694150
if you alternate between pushing right and left + pushing jump repeatedly, you can fly. Do it
fast.
>> [_] Anonymous 06/08/12(Fri)11:59 No.1694154
If you spam backdash (s) while the opposite direction in a corner, you're liable to pop out
anywhere else.
Ex: The two corners at the start result in the top two doorways, respectively & the far bottom
corner = middle of the abyss.
>> [_] Anonymous 06/08/12(Fri)12:02 No.1694155
If you bail out one of the sides and fly up top, there is a pink dot just hovering there,
menacingly.

Just an idea, but something you don't see in many games (I can't name any off the top of my head)
is a button dedicated to turning around, so that you always have the option of backing up and
strafing back and forth while facing the same direction.
>> [_] Anonymous 06/08/12(Fri)12:06 No.1694159

& considering how high he jumps, you could use the down button to manipulate speed of descent.

I liked the little metroid fusion area. Are you planning on making a completely original game or
one based off of metroid or castlevania?
