I am new within this indie dev wonderfull world... Do you mind me asking why was your goal so high?

Care to explain me how do you calculate such a high cost? Thanks.

Would love to see a tutorial on the whole cliff hanging action - how is that accomplished?

Really amazing work. Also, how far are we from a playable demo and how long have you been working on it?

Looks great I like it so far. I have one question tho

Why are you making the whole level in photoshop? Is that the normal way to go? I thought you would make a tilemap and then just load a tilemap on C2 to place it whenever you want.

Bump

Still need some help

The unbound doesnt work for the kind of platformer Im making I think

Anyone? Would appreciate some help.

Edited the title for my new question. How can I make the player jump on the ladder? Let's say I want to jump from one ladder to another ladder?

Right now only way to get off the ladder is by the conditions off the ladder on pressing one key but I want to be able to jump off the ladder into another ladder.

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi. So I am making a map kinda like super mario aka very long layout like this:

The background is temporary until I make my own and I haven't decide yet the way is going to be. Not sure if I should go tiled background or just a sprite.

Right now is just a sprite that I resize to cover the whole layout while I was starting to get the basics of my game. Now I want to advance further and I need to take care of the background mechanics.

I also want to make the game going upwards, like in Super Mario you would go higher up in the clouds. Do I need to resize the layout to have a higher height or is there any trick to it? Any tips would be helpful.

I was thinking that I should just make the layout as big as I want both width and height and just make the background fit the resolution size with parallax 0,0 but not sure if that's a good way to go and also I'm afraid it might look a bit stiff.

Thanks

I found the problem. Had to give a higher value to set y to player.y +16 on the get on the ladder when above it.

Quick update. Didn't notice the original capx has just the ladder just on top of the layer for a second I thought it was an empty solid. Anyways tried that as well and is not working for me. My player box is also 32x32 and the conditions and actions are the same. Basically I have all set up just as the example and won't go down the ladder from the top of a higher level.

So I've been reading all platform climb tutorials and this is the mechanic /feeling I liked the most:

/tutorials/548/simple-ladder-for-platformer-game

I applied it to my current proyect but there's one problem. If you climb into a platform through a ladder you can't go down because the floor becomes solid again. The way it works is while you're on the ladder the solid becomes unsolid so you can pass through kinda like a jumpthrough behaviour but once you're on the top of the platform you can't go down.

In the capx you can actually do it because there's no platform on the top of the ladder, but in my case I can't do that because tilemaps and the skeleton of the map. My ladder goes through the platform kinda like forming a cross
