I agree with paulscottrobson.

I use separate sheets

I try to stick to a workflow similar to programming. I comment everything so I can keep my code organized and in the eventuality

I would share it, it would be easy to understand.

I use groups and sub-groups.

So you have everything at your disposal for keeping things organized.

If it can help you, you could use sprites for letters, each letter being a different animation frame for the same sprite.

Then you move an overlay sprite by lets say 32 pixels (Letter sprite is 32 pixels too)

If OverlaySprite is positioned in A then it can move only if X is greater or equal than A.XPosition.

I did something similar for a menu with around 10 lines of code or a bit more so should hopefully be fairly easy.

Good luck!

If I understand, you would like to move to a position once clicked and based on grid/tile movement?

Small update, finally got the ladder system working properly. Also added falling platforms, and working on doors, triggers and traps.

I hope to show more images as soon as possible.

Hi!

What I'm trying to figure out its how to control several platforms or doors with trigger. I tried using UIDs but with no result.

The idea is to have lets suppose trigger.UID = x trigger a door.UID = y

Don't hesitate to let me know if I'm not clear enough

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

I already have planned a rough layout of the story, lore and even some characters, but I prefer leaving that after I have a proper prototype to work with.

I wanted to avoid my typical mistake of doing graphics too early during developement.

Cheers!

Hi guys!

So I've already been working several months on this prototype.

The game is called Swansong, and it's your typical Metroidvania with RPG and rogue-like elements.

My biggest infleuences were old Prince of Persia and Dark Souls

The swan song (in ancient Greek: ????e??? ?sµa) is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death.

So far what's implemented:

-Platforming mechanics: run, jump, wall jump, wall glide, ledge climbing, ledge hanging, drop off a ledge, ladders

-Basic combat system

-Basic In-Game menus

-Character Selection menu (characters can be customized: tribes and heads)
