OK so this is just a little test rom of the platform engine that I've been working on recently. Enjoy.

nice nice.

still rockin the HuC or did you go straight ASM?

[nodtveidt]

Since this is based on the mature VM engine, this is HuC. When I do shooters, it's pceas only. Reason being is that it is much more effective to implement finite state machines in HuC than it is in assembly, so HuC is much better for platformers (and any other games requiring FSMs, like fighting games), but shooters do not require FSMs, and performance is the #1 issue in shooters, so assembly is required.

Really, really nice. My daughter played it for quite a while too.

OK, here's a more advanced prototype build. The map is greatly expanded, and you can now attack (but not kill) enemies.

Kudos to anyone who can figure out how to get to the giant topless naga.

Shooting for early June 2011.

So I guess we can expect it around June 2022?

[nodtveidt]

Nah, maybe July 2018.

BOOBS!  She's past the book case.  The hardest part was the 3 blocks where there is rope in between each block you have to leap onto.  Pretty awesome!

After all the satanic jumps, made it.

[nodtveidt]

Still quite a bit left to add, but it's shaping up nicely so far. I plan to add moving platforms (the classic platforming staple feature), swinging vines (a la Pitfall!), and maybe some water effects.
