Progress on Project MONOLITH... some technical mumbo jumbo inside

[shubibiman]

Wow! Very nice work!

Wow! Very nice work!

+1 Some nice work :@)

Forest video.

Looks like Legend of Xanadu.

The parallax would look even more cool if the strip of gray shading scrolled at its own pace.

I'm going to try to do that...it will require some additional scene tweaking though.

I gotta say, I find the jump sound to be too prominent and a little too cartoony. Maybe if it had a volume reduction or something...

[SamIAm]

I was mighty impressed with that last video. Very good work.

Tatsujin was irritated by the original jump sound, so I detuned the samples by 32 points.

Yeah, everytime I play a demo, I'm less & less enthused by the jumping sound.

I don't recall if this has been discussed, & maybe it's a no brainer.  What are people's feelings on when an enemy or the player gets hit?  I personally don't like it the way it is, seems like they should flash or something so you can still see them, though, maybe the way it is, is just temporary, I don't recall 

[nodtveidt]

They DO flash... you obviously haven't been playing the prototypes.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Hmm, in ME they just disapear.  Maybe the word I'm searching for is flicker?

[Arkhan]

THIS GAME SUCKS I HAT EIT.


/end obligatory naysaying.

:3

Then ME is skipping frames. The game relies on a consistent 60fps, like the real machine does. Anything less than that is going to look wrong, and that's why the youtube videos never come out exactly right; they cut it to 30fps, so things don't look right.

Wow, looking really good so far. Nice parallax!
The character's mouth looks a little funny during the down-thrust, but the animation is pretty good.

[nodtveidt]

PD, you might have to run the protos in mednafen to get stuff to look right...

New screenie today:

[spenoza]

The backgrounds really are attractive. That's some very good color use.
