I hope they call it the Super Wii

That's nifty-- though it would probably be more space and cost effective to just emulate a SNES on your PSP or DS-- I have no doubt though, that if people saw you carrying that thing around you would become supa popular.

Also keep in mind that you don't have to have something be extremely complex, or technically demanding to be a unique idea.

My theory about people wanting to make 8bit games is that most people around here grew up playing them-- and so now that we are old and capable enough to make our own games, those are the kinds we want to make --

also, I can assure its not because its easier either-- in my opinion pixel art is harder than normal drawing any day!

and awesome that is an awesome title by the way

Well, first off, there's always plenty of people out there who would love to see there artwork put into a game-- so you could always find a collaborator...

But if you mean you have trouble drawing sprites on like.. a computer.. you could always get a wacom tablet-- there are nice ones that cost 80 dollars-- and they are a good investment.

If you have trouble animating the sprites then there are lots of programs that are specifically designed for animation--TVP Paint is one that comes to mind-- there is also a light-table plugin for photoshop.

And of course, the easiest way to animate stuff without actually drawing a bunch of individual frames would be the bone movement behavior.

Amazing work Tokinsom. Really great idea too-- based on your avatar, I hope you weren't planning on making a mini-earthworm jim after this-- because your game has inspired me-- so I might just do that!

Yeah! Playing around with color filters and opacity seems to just about do the trick! I haven't heard of OLED-- if they are better than these eye killing LCDs then I support them fully!

Well I guess I will just have to steal a friends LCD and get some sort a dual monitor setup going-- so that I can be conscious of how it looks both ways-- because I really love my CRT, but I am in a minority !

That's awesome, I'm really looking forward to this!

I work on a cathode ray tube-- the most superior of all display devices-- however, most people use LCD moniters, and they are bright! Brighter than I want my game to appear on their screens! Is there a way to configure everyone's screens to the brightness level I want?

I was actually able to get (what on the surface appears to be) a grid scroll between two layouts...

my trials and tribulations are all in this thread:

The only problem is that the camera is a little jerky for some reason.

You don't necessarily have to use LOS. I see you are using an invisible marker for your enemy already, so if you make an event where the player is overlapping that marker, the enemy could chase the player while he's within it, but then stop when he isn't. Also, if you want something to happen every 3 seconds, then you can use the object "wait"-- which is something I wish I realized a month ago.
