I think I fully understand what the issue is for the layering(just putting this here so I don’t forget)


So basically I’m only counting for just regular cubical layering, which is fine, but there’s also some side effects with the layering where the entity layering is kinda messed up because of it, mostly with an object being over(which I thought the way I did it prevented stuff like that but I messed up a part with it) And, the slopes, since they’re not full cubes, and when going up and down them, the other objects gone account for the tiles beside and above their current position.

So first, I thought of adding level geometry by using full shapes and such, but 1, that would be time consuming, and 2, that wouldn’t really do anything with the layering, cause the same issues would still apply with them.

So uhh yeah, I figured out the issues

I don’t know how I’m gonna solve it

I already know with like the tile system and everything, I know it’s not impossible, and I’m sure it’s even still possible with the optimizations I made with it(if it didn’t then I’d really be screwed, but thanks don’t think that’s the case)

But I’m just gonna try to ignore them right now and just have it in the meantime

Even if it’s still an ugly issue, and it does have some aspects in gameplay(mainly with shadows since they’re extremely important)

I’ll just build the rest of the first level and just try to work onwards, It’ll just have to stick for a while and I may have to work on shadows a bit later because they’ll be pretty annoying with how things are right now.

The layering will just have to be something I’ll have to get help and figure out in the meantime

I've managed to wrangle around different enemy movement patterns, and I've also managed to create this as well, it's what the buttons were for

How it feels outside currently

I'm going to

Happy Pride Month!!!

This drawing took me 35 hours, but it was damn worth it!

#PrideArt

Obligatory sequence progression

5 more days until lord of the mysteries anime comes out!!! (WATCH IT ON CRUNCHYROLL JUNE 28)

L@yering Update

I had to go through each of the sprites and I managed to find some that were causing an issue, along with rewriting the code a bit(even though the code is exactly the same but I wanted to be reassured)

Everything's workin fine so far

Even if this isn't my first time seeing this tutorial

I love griffpatch

Another drawing of hornet in a different style, this time the modern Doom Games. You can give suggestions for other pieces if you like

Reworkin Enemy Movement AI a bit, I might have it in a way that different enemies might actually have specific moving patterns/behaviors, like one I might be thinkin of is the enemies might run away from you if you have a high level like in Earthbound
