Just thought I'd post a screenshot so you can see how the scene scripting engine is going. It's not much to look at yet, but it gives you the general idea.

Well, since there are (short) periods of play, the end will actually be a series of short cut scenes that will probably feel like one big cut scene. But by that point, I will have the cut scene scripting down pretty well .

The next phase is going to be writing my first actual cut scene. The first cut scene of the game (and also the longest and most complicated) is the Trial of Hetchel. It's going to be a long hard piece of code, but once it is done, I will have most of the cut scene engine finished.

At long last, the walking demo of Loom Island is finished! http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/1169/ptiani14qv.gif The walking engine is a bit sluggish. I've made it slow on purpose, because I want it to feel like you are walking leasurely... but it's a bit jerky in between steps, so I will try to fi...

No, thank you!

That's what I'm using. I remember that page of the tutorial well.

Also, I don't think it is possible to do call hl. It's not on the command list and TIASM gives me errors when I try it.

This is Windows we're talking about. Nothing is protected .

Well, I was hoping to have the walking demo by tonight, but alas, still not yet. On the bright side, I wrote the skeletons for both the map trigger engine and the scene script engine. The map trigger engine detects certain actions, and calls scene scripts accordingly. For example, there is a trigger...

Ok, I simply cannot decide which one I like better. So, there are 3 semi-winners. :) 1. threefingeredguy I modified your design a tiny bit to make it more bottom-heavy, but in general your design was the closest to my current theme. It was very white with simple outlines, which fits well with my oth...

I kind of like them... but I guess I'm biased .

Yeah, I don't think it is possible to kill memory with software. You can kill hard-drives with rapid overuse because that eventually makes the read/write heads colide with the disk. Memory is a set of circuits with no moving parts, so unless it found a way to short your memory out by giving it a hug...

Is EM stand alone as a sprite editor?

BTW, submissions are closed and I will take a look at the sprites tonight and detirmine the winner. I'm debating between 2 of them right now.

Heheh... that's funny, I was thinking about drawing you a new rock before, but I didn't think you'd use it :) So, I drew one, and the mockup: http://timendus.student.utwente.nl/docs/pics/LoomRock.PNG (I think trip cheated by drawing three rocks, and they look like cheeseballs and a potato anyway :m...

Thanks . I appreciate the kind words, but if I don't push myself to do this quickly, I will never get it done -_-.

This is a checklist of everything that has to be done from start to finish. I'll update this post as things get checked off the list. :) [x] Basic concept pixil art [x] Skeleton of Bobbin's sprite [x] Skeleton of walking engine [x] Test tiles drawn [x] Test map [x] Skeleton of map drawing routine [x...
