Layer folders similar to those of Photoshop. Would make layer management a breeze.

Are you sure you haven't ticked the 'Center view on me' box on any of the objects in its properties' attributes?

I've always wanted to make a shmup/bullethell crossover so I started making one last Tuesday. I wanted to finish this before my military service, which starts on Monday, but I kept myself too busy with alcohol so I'm just giving the prototype source away instead.

Zip is around 72mb, I included all the music files and a compiled exe too. Music is made by umbriel rising, http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/3761

WASD moves, mouse aims, shift focuses (slows movement down for enhanced accuracy). Don't worry, you can't die. Once you get to level 15 you'll have a bossfight (which isn't there). The code is ugly and unpolished but it might make a fun half-an-hour game if you put some effort to it. I also forgot to pack in scanlines.fx and whatever else it was that I forgot but at least the exe should run just fine.

The dialog is rearranged lines of a 40's film noir movie Scarlet Street, http://www.archive.org/details/ScarletStreet

The gameplay is essentially ported from Daiz's floodshooter, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/326175/floodshooter100519.zip

Someone go finish it, it's quite likely that I won't. Call the game "17FPS", quotation marks optional. All of our other projects are kinda stalled too, lol.

You'll get a video of an old build though

7 second adventure with the Search

Works fine on the lastest 0.99.9

Just drag and drop a sprite to a layer in the layer list.

I... don't think this thread is very resourceful.

Picture related

Yeah, python libraries such as sqlite are in good use as well as lucid's 's'.

The first one is dynamic lights and shadows plus 205983 meshes and 3d boxes that make up the scene. It's quite 3d.

Another similar scene:

The second one is a skybox with free camera that'll have dynamic weather and stuff, I just haven't implemented most of it yet.

They are kind of spoilers but I'll let it slide.

Edit:

Looks very nice, are you building a point and click adventure?

Can't tell. I don't plan that far ahead anyway. Figuring out core gameplay elements are part of the designing process? Who cares about that stuff. :3

Dunno, it'll be cool if I end up spending time on it.

Are you talking about the level editor or the event editor? I don't really get what you mean, but you can select multiple sprites in the level editor by shift+left mouse clicking. You can also unselect stuff exactly the same way.

You might be confusing something or you haven't noticed the shift modifier.

Edit: Oh, right, you must've meant the actual sprite locking. My bad.

Edit 2: Okay yeah that's exactly what you meant, makes for a nasty problem. I didn't find a way around it either now that I looked into it.

Edit 3: Well, you could try arranging your stuff in layers and lock the layer instead, I'd expect it to be quite useful but then again I don't know what you're doing.

I'm doing a plugin for BulletML, a scriptable system for those crazy (and sane) bullet patterns you see in arcade shoot-em ups.

Above sprites by Irem obviously

Hell yes Kenta Cho stuff here I come!

Oh, have these while we're at it. It's not like I'll be able to finish any of this in another year.

Well, you should be able to implement a rendering engine such as Trident or Gecko if you really want to but I'd expect it to be quite a hassle. There's basic http functionality too so yeah, you might be able to do something to the effect of having a browser in your project.
