I'm tempted to knock up a bitmap-based level editor tha outputs like that, but I'm tutoring someone in a little programming tonight, and I have my game coming along as well.

Yeah, I was thinking of whether to do a standalone editor for the time being or not, but if someone wants to do my work for me and there's no issues you'll get a free feature on the devlog Lizard was particularly interested in a bitmap editor, I was/am going to do something more graphical in-game.

I'm having some trouble with my power supply atm(Generator on the blink ), but I'll be putting some thought to it,I assure you.

Hardware troubles of any kind suck :/ Hope it gets sorted out soon.

Boy, oh boy, I have hardware troubles, too! Had to call it quits cuz my compy's on the fritz

Haven't seen much activity here so how is 1 Bar Design Geti? Find any cool new sources of insparation for another one of your interesting games? Or are you just taking a well deserved break after cranking out 2 nice games???

When he said he had finals, he really meant it.

Finals are done now (YES!) which means I've been wasted for the last week and not home.

I've started on a new game in the hope of selling it to a portal, meaning it's not going to have incredibly deep gameplay (or more, doesn't have incredibly deep gameplay, as the core mechanics are about 60% finished) and is going to have a fair bit of graphical polish.
Yes, this is the "MineField" that that poster was about.
It's a two-button game somewhat inspired by canabalt and various avoider games.

There will be no testing builds until it's up for auction, but there may be a few screenshots. This one is of an older build, but there's no way I'm getting a new screenshot at the moment. He's at an intermediate frame of his animation for those wondering why he seems to have tiny arms. I've got to rework the graphics a lot over the next while, but I'm going to get absolutely everything functional first before polishing everything.

WORKING:

-Character actions:

Jump
Sprint
Climb Wall
Die (still needs context sensitive stuff, like gibs or a corpse)
-Land Mine
-Paper Collectible
-Level Loading
-Stage Transition and Restarting
-Start Menu In-Game Draft (some polishing todo)

TODO:

-Character context sensitive death
-Fall damage
-Many more types of mines
-Level production
-HUD
-More plinky-plonk type items
-Unlockables
-A lot of spriting

Make the assets compatible with a light background
Character death stuff
More tiles
HUD items
Backgrounds
Decorations

Houses
Vegetation
Rocks
Machinery
-A graphical manual
-Sell game

I'm not sure whether to have "boss" mines in the final stage of each mode or not. The player cannot attack, which means it would just be a more dynamic situation.. Maybe only in hard mode :/

A large floating air mine, and you need to use a Bounce mine, then an aerial attack?

?

Working on getting a functional HUD Today.

Yes. I got approval from Arne to work on it so now it's legal at least, but I'm still pondering the best way to do it, and I've got a lot more on my plate.

Wow, you're actually making Prom's Exile?!
Awesome!
Even since I first heard of Arne and went to his site, that game has been the awesomest looking one on his list.
Geti, you are now one of my heroes!

Also: My power supply problem still isn't fixed, as it's less of my computers power supply and more of my entire power supply: I was speaking literally when I said generator.
Still, I've been working on a level editor. Was planning on having one done by now, even with my power problems, but a fatal design flaw means I'm having to re-think my approach. Damn, I'm too technically minded for this, I probably should just get a working model and work from there...

Ah, I meant more like a double jump or something into the balloon holding the mine up...
Probably wouldn't work well, though.

That could work, but I'll play it by ear. I might make it a race: Beat the mine boss to your home or he asplodes it and you are homeless forever ( ). I might not. We'll see, it's just quite hard to have a boss in a game with no combat, so I might just make the levels devlish. I'm going to make Arne's Exile at some point, or at least have a good crack at it, I just have a lot of side projects going so work on it has halted. I'll probably get back to it at some point next year I'm just happy he gave me permission to go for it.

Good luck with the bitmaptolevel generator.
