Updates

Just thought I'd give you guys a little bit of an update, as many new things have transpired since the last one. The game no longer uses 8*8 tiles, they have now been converted to 16*16 tiles with the added feature of smooth scrolling. The scrolling will be center focused(on the main character). It will also use a two layer overworld which will allow you to walk behind objects and have your character dissapear out of sight. It will be a while before you get to see an action screen shot as it will be alot of work to make the new graphics display engines.

The game will also feature a female secondary character who will join your quest later in the game.

Wow! Looking good! Very Happy

Just wondering, when will there be anything for us to download/test?
Don't rush anything though.

If all goes well, you might see a working screen shot in about 2 weeks, don't get your hopes too high though.

What level freqency greystyle does it support without bumps?

Justin W. · Posted: 16 Jul 2003 03:46:17 pm Post subject:

I'm running the rpg at Interupt frequency 6 but will be able to be modified from within an options menu.

There will be a suggested default though right?

Justin W. · Posted: 16 Jul 2003 09:04:08 pm Post subject:

The default is set to 6 Pascal. Well I set it at that. I had to make a bunch of changes to the gray dev kit. If anyone wishes to change it they will ba able to. The way I have it set right now it goes the fastest possible so I have enough cpu time to do what I want.

I don't know anything about greyscale, so what does having a higher and lower interrupt frequency affect? Speed? Graphics?

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 17 Jul 2003 08:24:13 am Post subject:

Both. It controls how much cpu speed is reserved for handling the grayscale, I think. So better grayscale means slower speed.

yes, u r exactly right.... better graphix means less speed.....

I have a small question - For the SE's would it make it faster in the graystyle to add the lines

Also Justin - Are you using MaxCoderz tilemap package? If so could you send it to me, because it's not there anymore! agilityx@rochester.rr.com

Justin W. · Posted: 17 Jul 2003 03:02:33 pm Post subject:

Do not use the high speed in asm on the SE. It causes major problems. Also I am using the Maxcoderz Gray dev kit but my version is heavily modified for my purposes. So it would not be effective for you. You can download the gray dev kit from ticalc.org as Durk uploaded it there as well.

I think Justin created his own tile map routine, but im not sure.

Justin W. · Posted: 17 Jul 2003 09:54:46 pm Post subject:

Of course I made my own tilemapping routine. I only use the gray dev kit. Because durk made it so good.

Justin, why do you have a forum about your game both here and at maxcoderz? Are you a member of both?
