Alright, so the theme is “Tiny World”. Personally not huge on the idea of a tiny canvas, so…there’s my antagonist. :p<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll probably take this the “Top-down RPG”-esque route, with some inspiration from Jade Empire’s jumping mechanics to act as a way to get out of trouble.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The idea would stem from the basic plot that the world is beginning to shrink, and so a scientist has shrunk you to buy you time while you prepare to fight whatever is shrinking the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So now I just need to get my external engine working, and I should be good to go. Going to try and Google up some tutorials on how to get started with them – I know basic Actionscript 3.0, but not how to properly import libraries in. At least, I think. I’ve done some work with the Click API for Scaleform recently, so hopefully it’s something like that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you know otherwise, please feel free to let me know. I’m currently giving Fixel a try, but willing to try whatever has the least resistance.<\/p>","time":"April 20th, 2012 6:34 pm","title":"It\u2019s a Small World afterall!"}
