I’m working on this LD with the theme of Film Noir<\/b>, and the limitation of\u00a0Reduced Colour Palette.\u00a0<\/strong>I have a nice menu screen set up, with parallax scrolling, and I’m currently working on NPCs. I don’t have a definite story at the moment, but I have a mechanic that I like. The basic idea is that you’re a cop or detective in a small section of a city, looking to dish out some justice. There are NPCs milling about on the sidewalks constantly, and any time a gun is fired, or a victim screams, all the NPCs in the area get thought bubbles above their heads, with pictograms showing the type and direction of the crime. I have the pictograms mainly working now, but I’m having issues with my coordinate system because I’m using a parallax camera.<\/p>\n

Included are some GIFs<\/p>\n

The Menu (GIF compression messed up the light beams)<\/p>\n

\"menu\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the Pictogram system.\u00a0I will center those arrows, if it’s the last thing I do XD<\/p>\n
