The Skeleton King Is Coming Alive

I have tightened up the narrative beats of the story and while building out the first level I realized compositionally I was really happy with how I was able to separate the foreground and the background...But the scale wasn't right. The top image is 320 x 180 which can scale up to 1920 x 1080 but I wasn't happy with how limited was vertically and horizontally for player movement and enemies. I realized it was very tight. SO. I scaled up the play field to 480 x 270 which can also scale up to 1080 which you can see below.

I'm a lot happier with this version compositionally and I'm almost back to where I was originally with mapping out level 1 and oooooooo buddy am I excited. The Skeleton King has set on an adventure and it is taking him through diverse locales and all over the realm. The first level here where we find the Skeleton King is an old abandoned crypt that has fallen into disrepair.

Why is a king in an abandoned crypt? Why is that king a skeleton? And why are we in an abandoned crypt? Hmmmmmm....mysteries.

Quote of the Week

Common arguments against Rust's safety guarantees:

The library you're binding to can have a segfault in it.

RAM can physically fail, causing dangling pointers.

The computer the Rust program is running on can be hit by a meteorite.

Alan Turing can come back from the dead and tell everyone that he actually made up computer science and none of it is real, thus invalidating every program ever made, including all Rust programs.

– Ironmask on the phoronix forums

Thanks to Stephan Sokolow for the suggestion!

Spooky Scary Dungeon

So.

Yeah, not very productive in the last few days… But at least I reproduced the spirit grave map in LDTK. Take a look.

Talking technical first.

Does what worked on the Maku path work here ? Yes. And the rest ? Absolutely not (ou can see in the screenshot above, a lot of game objects are missing). And to be fair, it won't work for quite some time, as I need to help Cam with the LDTK importer. The multi-world import has some issues that need to be fixed first.

Now. Spirit Grave… Not the best, but he is clearly not one of the weakest ones. There is something that I discovered while remapping this dungeon. See this room? Well, I never realized that the floor of it is a full map of the dungeon, with the mini-boss, boss, secret room, and final room displayed. And a freaking statue for where the player is. That would be quite awesome if you didn't find the map just before coming here.But still, nearly 20 years after I got my hands on this game, I still find things hidden in plain sight… I don't know if I should be fascinated or ashamed… Maybe both.

Like all the dungeons in the Game Boy's Zelda, the layout takes the form of something related to the dungeon - a spirit here - which allows for an interesting structure where you turn in the dungeon anti-clockwise until you're back at the start (where you take the teleporter and go directly to the boss). The pacing is excellent.

There isn't much more to say about this dungeon, except for one thing I don't like : how you get the boss key. I have two issues here that are, to be honest, contradictory.

The first is that the game does the backtracking for you. As you learn to use the bracelet, the dungeon brings you back directly to the room where you get the dungeon's boss key, so you don't have to think to much of where to use this dungeon's item. But for a first proper dungeon, I would say this is okay, because this is a smart way to say to you, "Hey, you needed to go back to this room, we are showing it to you now, but we won't be so kind in the future." (Or do they? We will see in the later dungeons.) Also, if you remove that backtracking part, the anti-clockwise structure I talked about earlier doesn't work.

The other issue is, if you remember the room with all the pots and the chest where the boss key is, you can entirely skip this small puzzle with the pot and the button in the bottom left corner of the map. Which is a shame, because it's a quite simple introduction to how some buttons may require staying pressed. By the way, I like the way Minish Cap removes the ambiguity between buttons that need to be pressed once (which are square buttons) and the ones where you need to stay on them (which are round buttons). If I take time to do some changes, I guess this one could be a good one.

I will take a look to see if it's possible to improve that skip issue later. Now that I think about it, in many dungeons, the way you find the dungeon's boss key feels trivialized… Half of them at least : this one, the next two, and the final one. Still, a pretty good dungeon. 7/10.

this was several asks ago but to clarify on the “ratparty founded the doxx”: anon meant ratparty, not rat city, and they meant found, as in discovered, this was either a typo or a grammar issue. rat city did not start the doxx.

Yup! That’s why they’re private rn, they were being harassed by the doxxers. They’re currently celebrating their blocks rn

LDtk (Level Designer Toolkit)

Alors là je suis ultra fan !!!

Figurez vous que Mr Sébastien Bénard le monsieur Motion Twin “Dead Cell” et développeur ultra productif de mini jeux en 48h lors de divers Gamejams propose tout simplement un éditeur de niveau gratuit.

Rien que ça....

Voici quelques infos sur ce logiciel

Une UI des plus efficace pour permettre une prise en main facile.

Définition de règles pour que l’éditeur fasse le travail le plus embêtant à votre place.

Choix de Layout entre “Grid Vania” “Linear” ou “Free” et réorganisez vos niveaux par un simple drag and drop

Pas d’isometrique ici mais un focus sur les vision de “side” et “top down” un choix radical mais que j’apprécie car en faire moins pour le faire mieux est une philosophie qui me convient parfaitement.

Mais également

Un système de backup

Un export vers l’outil Tiled

La gestion d’entités

Une API HAxe

etc...

Il est disponible sur Windows, Mac et Linux donc aucunes excuses :)

Et tout ceci gratuitement....Cependant vous pouvez (et franchement vu le travail accompli ce serait super) le soutenir en donnant ce que vous souhaitez.

 foncez c’est par là LDTK

Imagine The Reagans Running Into You and Jamie Making Out (Teen Jamie)

"Thank you so much for dinner, Jamie. It was amazing." You said shyly, as you got inside his car and sat on the passenger's seat.

"Sure. You deserved it, it's your birthday!" He was sitting in the driver's seat and turned on the engine of the car before continuing his speech. "You want to come over to my place?"

"Oh, uh.... I don't know if that's a good idea. I mean, your family doesn't know we're dating yet." You felt a bit hesitant although you did want to go to his place. Hanging out with Jamie was your favorite thing to do ever since you quit the soccer team at the high school both you and him attended. And just having dinner with him just didn't feel like it was enough for you.

"Oh... they're not home."

"They're not?" Your turned your head to the left to look at him.

"Nope, they all went out to a dinner party at a family friend's house. Their son is leaving for college this summer." He explained as he turned his head to the right to look at you.

"Okay, well... then yeah sure. Let's go to yours."

And there you went. Jamie had his driver's license for a few months now, and thanks to the nice guides from his father and brother, he revealed himself to be a great driver. At least, better than you.

* * *

"Do you want anything? Water, soda?" He politely asked. You were sitting on the couch while he was hanging your coats.

"Uh, no, I'm fine."

He smiled and went back to the couch and sat down next to you, putting his hand on your thigh.

"I had a really great time tonight, Jamie." You confessed with a content sigh as you laid your head against the crook of his neck.

"Me too." He leaned in, turning your head slightly to his side, your lips now only a few inches away. You knew what was about to happen - he kissed you. His lips met yours and sent what felt like thousands of fireworks throughout your whole body. You had butterflies in your stomach and a tingling feelings in every nerve of your body.

"You want to, I don't know, watch a movie?" He asked when both of you pulled back from the kiss.

"Sure, whatever you wanna watch." You replied while licking your lips discretely.

He got up from the couch and with one knee on the ground, near the wooden furniture that held the TV, he went through the large collection of VHS and picked a cop movie. You didn't even know the title, but you trusted his choice and didn't say anything about it. You just wanted to be with him, no matter what movie you watched.

He set up the movie and went back to the couch, sitting down and holding you close... closer than you were before. And not even twenty minutes into the movie, you were already laying down on the couch, your hair looking a bit like a mess from pressing against the cushions, with Jamie on top of you. You were only kissing at first, but then he touched you here and there and long story short you were in the middle of a massive make out session.

You could call it the Netflix and Chill of the older days.

What you didn't expect was for his whole family to walk in on you.

"Well, well, well... Look who we have here!" Danny was the first one to walk into the living room and looking at you two. You under Jamie, Jamie on top, your hair looking like you were a slob, his hair also looking very messy from your hands running through it during the heated make out session... Anyways, as everyone could see, you were more than embarrassed and you were living your worst nightmare. And Jameson was too.

After sighing and sitting up in a quick and swift movement, Jamie spoke up. "Danny, please shut up!"

Luckily, the only two other people you heard coming closer to you were your boyfriend's other siblings - Erin and Joe. They laughed along with Danny and seemed pretty amused to see Jamie looking embarrassed, but all you could be thankful for now, was that neither his dad or granddad were near by.

You quickly sat up too, and fixed your hair and your clothes that, to be honest, did look like they were on the way to be somewhere laying on the floor. Erin looked at you and was able to put the big sister role aside and helped you out. She had been a teenager and she too had been in embarrassing situations like this.

"Why are you already home? I thought you were gonna be there all night!" Jamie asked while he was arranging the cushions and pillows on the couch.

"We were, but it ended! Like all good things do." Joe teased while taking off his coat and throwing in on top of the couch.

"I didn't know about you two... Wow, when were you planning on telling us, Jamie? When I become an uncle?" Danny also teased. You had to admit, they were a fun gang. You just weren't feeling it right now. Especially right now.

"Well, now you know. Happy?" Jamie looked at the driveway through the window. You followed his gaze and saw Frank and Henry making their way out of the car to the house. "And not a word about this to them, okay?"

Shorty after, Henry Reagan and his son, the Police Commissioner, walked into the living room and couldn't help but notice you.

"Oh, well! Look at who we have here. It's the birthday girl!" Henry pulled you in for a hug and Frank simply shook your hand.

"Oh, hi! I-I am sorry to interrupt and I am sorry for-" Jamie cut you off and continued.

"Pops, Dad... (Y/N) and I went for dinner like I told you, to celebrate her birthday, but afterwards we came over to finish our History project." He did try.

"And ended up watching Starsky & Hutch?" Frank questioned after glancing at the screen, with his hands in his pockets.

"Huh...Yes...?" Jamie was lost. He did not plan this lie right.

"Alright, sweetie, do you need a ride home?" Frank asked you, a smile now showing in his face.

"Oh, huh... No, it's okay. I can walk home, it's not that far anyways."

"No way a family of cops is going to let a girl walk home alone in the middle of the night, especially in this temperatures." He turned his head to Joe and continued. "Joe, you can take (Y/N) home."

And just like that, you were driven home by your boyfriend's brother after being caught making out with Jamie on the couch, by his family.

Wow... what a night! What a birthday!

Author's Note: Hi everyone! Okay, I must admit this was a tough one to write because if I'm being completely honest, the show doesn't give us that much info about how it was like in the past but I guess that's what imagination is for, right? I hope you liked it! Like always, while you wait for the other requests to be published, I'd love for you to check out my Jamie Reagan fanfiction Little Did They Know and once you finish that one you can start Love Battles (book two to LDTK). Comments and reviews are highly appreciated, I always love to hear from you! Have a nice summer!

Skeleton King Progress: Tile Sets & Building the Game

The Skeleton King is happening. I love making pixel art but realized I tended to make tile sets in isolation from other tile sets and the project. So I went back and to my Notion/Game Design Document/Game...or in this instance...maybe Necronomicon? Or My Game Dev Enchiridion? Anyways.

I went back and referred to the game progression and kind of blocked out what colors I thought would be the most useful in conveying the mood and environment and from there I started re-establishing the tilesets. Which for much of it was just a palette swap/ refining.

But in doing so I also realized that the Skeleton King needed more legibility on the various backgrounds. I was already worried about his legs popping off the background when it was mostly black but continued to worry about it haha.

This was a really difficult problem for me to solve because of the color palette and the size of the sprite I was trying to articulate with a limited color palette. I'm trying to adhere as closely to the NES system specifications without sacrificing what I want to achieve. I chose the NES to limit my color palette in order to avoid decision paralysis. But I am finding where the palette is limited and have been debating adding a few more colors to flesh out what I want. I recall Yacht Club Games talking about this very instance.

So while I want to adhere to these system specifications, since it is self-imposed, I'm just trying to define a rule set to justify or determine if augmentation is needed and if I do proceed how do I do it uniformly and intentionally throughout the game instead of haphazardly and inconsistent.

But I'm close to the point where I can really start building things out. I have a few more animations I'd like to rough out just for my sanity, but I can restart the demo build and chunk away at that. I already have the skills the Skeleton King acquires on his journey fleshed out. I just have to incorporate them into the FSM more fully. But I feel like...I may not be at the tipping point...but I feel like I may be close to the point where I can really start seeing some stuff come together.

So be on the look out for more fun stuff coming up. Will be sharing some more Skeleton King animations and enemy sprites soon.

Week 4

This week I worked on integer layers on LDtk.

I set up LDtk integer layers to use a tile set I downloaded from itch.io, this has allowed me to streamline level design on future projects.

How?

So.

As I already said in my first post, for this project I'm using the game engine Unity, and there are multiple reasons for this. First, it's the engine with the most complete documentation and the biggest community. If I have an issue with the engine, I'll find my answer quite easily on the web. And if even Google can't help, I have multiple colleagues who know the engine well, have used it in various ways, and could help with my ultra-specific issue. Second, it's certainly one of the engines the most adapted for 2D development. A lot of games and prototypes with a 2D view are done with Unity, I don't think I'm teaching you anything here. Third, this is the engine I'm the most accustomed to, I know the interface, I know the component, I know C#, and I know a lot of stuff. Yet, there is something that I really don't know how to use in Unity, it's the tile map. They seem ridiculously complex to manage. So I used another tool for that.

Enter LDTK, a level editor for 2D games made by Deepnight (you may know him for his work on Dead Cells, or the various jams he was part of). The main advantage of this tool is that it's really user-friendly. You set up a tile layer, an entity layer, and maybe more if you need more, and you can start to paint your level. But then, things get a little trickier. By default, an LDTK project is a JSON file, and this needs an importer to create the level in Unity as it was painted in LDTK. When I first started this project six months ago, I thought I would have to do such an importer, and I just gave up. But a month ago, the motivation kicked back, I retook interest in the project, and I found out that someone, Cammin (thank you), had already started to do what I needed, and it works marvelously. It's not perfect by any means, I still need to do some workarounds for some of the issues I have, but this helped A LOT.

First, we have Git with Gitlab which I use for source control. Many people use source control because it helps them share it with others, but the main reason to use this kind of tool is for version control. This is the best way to have a backup of what you did and to roll back to something stable if you mess up.

And then I also use Trello. My memory for what I have to do is absolute sh*t. Trello helps me keep an eye on what I did, what I should be doing, what's coming next, and what I need to do. This may be the most important tool if I want to keep up until the end.

This post is already pretty long, so I'll keep it here for now, and I'll make a post tomorrow about what is already done.
