My first miniLD, and such a great idea from PoV.LD’s max my productivity, so this mean i will have a tool that i need created very fast.<\/p>\n

I’m curently jugling the idea of a “Cave story” side scroler. For this i need a tile level editor. And allthough it will be made for a side scroler, it could be usefull for any kind of tile based level. Ill se how far i get with it over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Since i have been working on this project allready, some of the stuff will be premade, but i hope it won’t brake the spirit of the competition. I allready have the file format somewhat done, and im was already doing the ingame loading part, and i do want to finish that befre the compo, im not going to just drop it all and let it sit for a few days.<\/p>\n

I will however do a lot of the interface stuff myself, thats just how i am. I will use a partialy created library from me, that will covers messeges to GUI objects (i will post the source before i start). The objects don’t realy exists yet (just the container object), \u00a0so that will probaly be the main thing.<\/p>\n

As for the levels, the idea is, to make a tile world, build from particular levels. \u00a0And when you move from one level to the next, it’s neighbour load into the world, without loading screens.<\/p>\n

Let give the thing codename \u00a0TLM for now. Maybe add an x or z when i’m done. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

PS: I created a tile picture thingy, and before saving it in jgp i played a bit with the settings. From a crips, clear, few color picture, i got that monster, but i thoght it was more amusing than the plain tile thing.<\/p>\n \n
