I'm making a game because I have nothing better to do

It looks crappy, it's soundless, and the only real features right now are collecting powerups and talking to people, but it's starting to shape up into a real game. Of course, since I can't Actionscript for shit, I'm using Construct to make it, so groan as you will. As for the graphics, I'm improving them as I go along. The player started out as a little wobbly box thing, so keep that in mind as you take advantage of your TWO WHOLE WALKING ANIMATION FRAMES. I'm also learning Construct as I go, so please note that my coding is really messy and shit is all over the place, but since I'm just uploading the .exe and not the .cap, you don't really have to worry about it.
But anyway, all you can really do right now is move, jump, and talk, but I'm in the process of adding enemies and health and swords and cool shit like that. As of right now I've got the health done but not actually "implemented" yet if you could call it that. The background scrolling is pretty cool though, glad I got that all figured out.
I guess the 'goal' right now is to get all the way to the right of the screen and enter the castle since this is basically going to be the first level and the 'tutorial' in the actual finished game if it ever GETS finished.

Sort of kind of added the King in, in spirit :v:
I like these graphics, and it seems pretty easy to use.
Downloading now.

Finished game, was pretty cool and easy to control.
Great job, can't wait for the finished version.
Black outlines are not your friends. Give me the sprites and I will work my magic on them.

They aren't black, they're 5,5,5 :eng101:
But I see what you mean. I tried to only do it to the characters to keep with the style but glancing over it again it doesn't look as good. I'll mess around with the outlines a little real quick and see how it goes.

Proper outline coloring! But only on the player character for now. I'll get to the rest soon enough.

It's game making software.

Yeah, I fixed that. Hopefully you shouldn't be able to do that now.
[highlight]NEW VERSION: V 0.02![/highlight]
Added invisible collision blocks to the outside of certain areas to prevent jumping outside of the X axis and falling forever
Fancy-border'd the rest of the foreground sprites
Improved Double Jump powerup's graphics
Added changelog to the top left of the screen, I'll probably make it disable-able sometime.

Doomish, I love this game so far. It's going to be amazing.
Lookin' shmancy so far.
Looks great so far.

However, I've run into a major problem.
I have no goddamn idea at all how to do cutscenes. If someone could maybe help me out by finding a tutorial or making one or something, that'd be really appreciated.

There's a timeline thing in Construct which is good for cut scenes ask about it on the forums.
Why is the resolution so freakishly inconsistent?
[QUOTE=Tanner;23594473]Why is the resolution so freakishly inconsistent?[/QUOTE]
It's a pre-alpha. :v:
I will however make it consistent from now on, sorry 'bout that.
Cutscenes are giving me a little trouble, so it might be a bit before the next version is released.

whoops accidental double post :v:

And, by the way, as for the sprite resolution being all over the place, most of them are just placeholders. The entire background of the first map is going to get redone at some point, for example.
What happened? Is there going to be anymore updates?.
The player character looks like Heavy for some reason.
:golfclap: Very nice, please keep it updated.
I reckon you should get a graphic artist and you should make your background a painted style and you should keep the foreground pixel art, Would look awesome.
To everyone hoping I was going to make a game out of this:
The computer I had all the stuff I use for the game on fried, and I had to do a system restore way back to March, which erased everything I was working on. There's no way to get it back now, so unfortunately, the only choice I'd have is to redo the entire game from scratch, and I'm not willing to go to that effort because it's been a few weeks and I've forgotten everything I learned about Construct.

Oh man that is pretty sad :frown: ...
Unfortunate, I know. I tried recreating it but I couldn't get it to work as well because I had all of the settings tweaked just enough to make a difference. Plus I'd have to remake all the sprites as well.
