Yeah, at this point, I think I have the narrative down.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meet L’Joe:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

L'Joe here is the hero of our game, here to be the last defence against the evil shadow monsters and the traitorous light monsters. Or something.<\/p><\/div>\n

L’Joe here has been locked in his basement by his parents (They weren’t really aware of this at the time – busy, you know, preparing.) as they went and caught their plane to Hawaii for a vactation.
\n Therefore, the basement, below:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

So...This is the general level. Lights are at 50 degrees off so that they look like the hitbox is *actually* correct - I think technically it's based off of 0 degrees, but this looks better overall.<\/p><\/div>\n

Only one level at the moment (And two level of lights, so I have to fix that once L’Joe there is in the game), but L’Joe is stuck here, and isn’t about to try and get out, however. Plenty of food stored below, I guess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

L’Joe is imaginative though, and so with his trusty red phaser (Don’t think Star Trek “Switch to stun” phaser, Think Men In Black 3 “mind-wiper” phaser\u00a0[Speaking of… http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IyaFEBI_L24<\/a> ]) is out to vanquish them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So…the enemies are imaginary (Although I really hope to actually have them in the game), and his Phaser will shoot out red shockwaves in the direction he’s facing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pretty much it. Hope to actually get the functionality working (Player first, along with ground detection and jumping – then enemy spawning and hit detection, finally going for phazer attacking. Up until then, it’s all<\/strong> in his imagination. <_< Oh, except for the whole “locked in a basement” part. That actually happened.), then possibly move to a title screen, as I mentioned in a previous post, where the character, after you select play, will walk\u00a0and jump over the start text,\u00a0use the\u00a0phazer to destroy an enemy, then walk over the edge\u00a0of the screen, flip a switch (Making the\u00a0rest of the screen go dark)\u00a0, then walks off.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That would be optimistic though. Probably just him walking around (No animation, even, I’m willing to bet).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Still enjoyed what I did this competition though (Namely, how to go full AS3.0 and make it work. Well, I imagine technically the .swf isn’t AS3.0 since there’s the main frame code there, but good enough for me at this moment.).<\/p>\n
