Alright, well I can add images like this:

<img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/69omfo.jpg">

I think that's close to your image style

just give that shadow some realistic forshortening

itll look less 2d.

maybe i could help

im sure you could use a guy like me. although be warned, i procrastinate alot.

anyways, from what i see of your graphics i think the best animation style would be something like this game

you seem to be able to draw characters very well in diff direction and poses, so if you made me your graphics as individual pieces (like arms legs head torso wtv) and drew the different looking pieces for poses, we could make this type of animation using the bone movement behaviour.

(for battle scenes im talking)

i could handle the animation aspect of battles, i wouldnt be the best for setting up an inventory and stuf

download the file i posted in my 3rd post, thats the correct one

ive made some pseudo 3d perspective thing, its in uploads somewhere,

one sec

ahh, here we go

now your perspective grid idea wouldnt be all that used, its best if YOU program it yourself..

ive actually tried making jumping in the wolf3d thing, its pretty easy, i just dont care all that much about it . im sure someone could make this, but if you want it, youre going to have to be the one to do it ).

this game seems really cool

theres a gigantic galaxy, like hundreds of thousands of planets, stars wtv that are randomly generated

close, but no its actually 2 objects using a loop which are pasted onto a canvas, one is to draw the fill, the other is to draw the pipe, theres a problem with this tho, so im going to make it one object that changes animation.

when ash adds the cubic bezier ill fix this, i dont want to go through all that mess of code atm.

ogg is a good format, way better than mp3 imo

its a small file, like mp3, but its better at alot of stuff, like ppl said here.

i use it for game music, mp3 seems like the jpeg of sound formats...

(some of you may not understand this)

[quote:b5l7odn7]I'd like to have the ability to choose an animation and it's frame during the whole bone thing and have it automatically advance frames to each keyframe.

was just thinking this, it would be AMAZING.

it would allow us to make animation in games like super robot wars and rumble fish very easily.

please implement this...

but heres a corrected, clearer version of what kayin said

[quote:b5l7odn7]I'd like to have the ability to choose an animation and it's frame FOR EACH BONE and have it automatically advance frames to each keyframe.

leave it hidden, with a big *** warning when you click on it.

[USE XAUDIO2 YOU FOOL, DIRECTSOUND WONT WORK ON LOTS OF COMP'OOTERZ]

because some people have caps lying around and it would be annoying if their work was lost because they were coming back to a project after not opening it...

or at least make it in future builds that you can open files that contain direct sound events/actions, but they dont do anything (since direct sound is gone) instead of saying, cap could not load blablabalbablablalbla

[making it so that you cant open old files with direct sound would be very bad.]

i say leave it as it is and put a lighter border on comments.

curious why youd ask

and to answer that question there are a multidude of reasons

first off, no other gamemaking program has the ability to handle physics like construct does, secondly, i find the interface and overall setup of construct to be top notch. i also support it because its open source.

the Hardware acceleration also alows me to add effects, like the blobing shader i invented, without hardware acceleration it would be impossible to have that liquid effect (at a tolerable speed at least).

ontop of all this construct can rotate sprites very well. you can give it a number like 143.15235 and it will rotate it said amount, in MMF2 the rotation is locked to 360 different angles, you would get a rotation of 143 if you gave it that number.

construct is also very fast, much faster than any other game making software that ive tried.

and finally i use construct because ive tried most other event based game making programs, and they just arent anywhere near as good as construct.

technically i could make this game in MMF, but it costs way too much, and to be blunt, its not anywhere near as polished as construct even tho its only in its BETA stages.

(gamemaker is terrible, i wont even consider it)
