Hypno-Joe !
Okay, well I read all the documentation on the Scrolling Game Development Kit including the tutorial, and the scripting docutorial, and breezed through the gamedev script reference. Then I did the tutorial (not the *quick* tutorial, but the regular one). I had some problems “creating” graphics with it’s built in fullscreen graphics editor. But I decided after it crashing several times to instead use the premade bitmap. Which is fortunate for me because i’m going to be loading in graphics I have premade in other programs. Anyhoo I got an idea of how to use the kit. So what’s next is animating a Hypno-Joe walk cycle. Of which i’ll scan and probably post on here. Then i’ll start a project for the Hypno-Joe prototype and add him walking on platforms. Should not be too hard. The hard part will be the animation. Anyhoo, i’ll let you know how it develops, and possibly put up files to download or view. I’m considering also making a page for Hypno-Joe via wordpress active from my blog. Welp stay tuned folks!
