Hello

This game is a remake of a RPG-Maker 2000 Game I made for a Gameboy-Contest. The basic idea is a Jump'n'Run with RPG-Elements. The orginal game was a top-down but i just love side-scroller so the remake must be done this way :durr:

The story is very very simple. You are Mr. Hat. You a the hero who tries to rescue the princess. That's it, but I can promise that there is a twist

The gameplay consists of 2 types. the first ist the jump'n'run part were you run around, push boxes and stuff. Like Cave Story you can return to previous locations to find new items with new equipment. Then there is the second part where you fight enemies you encountered on the maps. The battle system is a action based battle system with some round base elements. It's not coded yet so no screens

The graphics are done by a fellow student and the music by a good friend of mine and lead guitarist of the band: Our Slight Indulgence. Sounds are done by me.

Screenshots:

jumping on the test map. / pulling boxes.


opening box in color mode (this is story depending) / The equipment menu were you equip hats to your sword or shield.


What you can't see on the screens is that a lot stuff is animated. the cursor has a waggle animation, the menu pops up with a smooth animation and so on.

Videos:
Showing Testmap

Demos:
Ver 0.4: Windows / Linux / Mac(Jar File)

Edit:
added missing natives for mac

TODO-List

• new graphics
• new background handling
• dust effects
• new collision system
• new box moving (old one has bugs)
• add rain (?)
• battle system
• enemies
• game switches

Hope you like it ;D

Yes, the screenshots and the video look great. I liked the turning of the player character. Looked like turning a card or a page

Very nice animation. The character has very smooth movements. Do you plan to have the screen scroll as the character moves, or is it just fixed screens?

There is already camera movement, as you can see in the video It's also smooth since this looks way better then direct movement.

Deno Time!

Ver 0.4: Windows / Linux / Mac(Jar File)

Edit:
The source will come with a later demo or with the final game. I'm not happy with the code since I hade to do much stuff the hacky way. I just had no time for thinking on how to implement a feature the best way. This is my first game written in Java but don't hesitate to attack me with all the bugs you can find

Known Bugs:
Glitch while pushing / pulling crates.

Great game, very addicting, looking forward to seeing more.

Found a bug.
At one time while i was reading a sign, I got distracted and went afk for a minute or so, when I returned, the game wouldn't respond to any input until I had minimized it.

The jumping did feel a little bit in-responsive.

By the way the links are a bit broken.

I've created an impossible situation where the only way to continue would be to cheat/restart



The way the chest is standing, I can't go back and can't go further.

Otherwise, fluent gameplay, nice sound and graphics Kudos!

Oha O____O I have literally NO idea where this is coming from oO I tested it and it does not happen on my pc... that's a bit scary. If you can reprocude the bug it would be awesome, maybe tets if it also happens if you just stand around. The textbox just checks a button just like the normal game.

Yepp, you are correct. Jumping is... well it's not good imho. There you can see where hacked things. For the next demo the whole Player class gets a rewrite If you would look at the class I think you know why xD

I fixed the links

Thank you for your comments!

@Biki
Damn it! I thought I erased all thos possibilites, gnargh! But thanks! Sound is made with sfxer/bfxer btw. music comes from a friend of mine which makes awesome music imho

I had no luck reproducing the bug, maybe it was a one of a kind event, but if I find it again I'll let you know.

But i found an impossible situation, while testing.
