Very Nice!

Love the Anime style graphics, keep up the good work

Looking forward to playing your game when it finished!

There will be a lot of buttons used in Arthur's Adventures

a jump button,a weapon attack button,magic attack button,use item button,cycle though weapons button,cycle through magics button,cycle though items button
and possibly a cycle though armours button or maybe equip button

which keyboard buttons would you prefer to use for each fuction?

and those who prefer a gamepad,how would you like the controls for the gamepad?

Becasue like you said you prefer jump as the up key and option 1 will only allow you to jump with a jump button and not the up key

since you prefer an up key for jump I would presume you would pick option 2 or 3

Hey

Thanks for your input

you prefer up for jump hey,a few people ive asked prerfer a jump button

So I think the best way to do it would be to give people a choice of which contol setup they want

Option 1 jump button  and up key will not jump
Option 2 jump button and up key will jump
Option 3 no jump button just up for jump

When it comes to keyboard or gamepad would your choice change?

or would they be the same for both?

Im adding gamepad support to Arthur's Adventures :)

Cheers
Shinobi Chef

When it comes to 2D Platform Games ,what would you rather?

Up Key for Jump or a Jump Button?or both?

Yeh true Simple is good

Anyone like any of the new Gosu logos,I made?

[deleted]

A audio library that Gosu can use that is 100% free even in commercial games would be awesome,as like hima said not many of us have the money to get a license to use things like
FMOD,not at lease until we release our first game

I know the linux sound implementation is free,though would be great to have a 100% free sound lib for windows and mac too!

maybe you could strike a deal with the creators of FMOD so  that it can be used in Commercial Gosu Games if the
FMOD lib is promoted on the Gosu website ,the game is question website and in commercial Gosu game ( in the loading up screen and the credits)

Im sure you will work something out Julian,you are doing great work with Gosu!

Are we legally allowed to sell games made with Ruby/Gosu???

If we are legally allowed to sell games made with Ruby/Gosu ,do we have to include the source code aswell or make it available somewhere on the net etc?

it may have a few small bugs at the moment,though with a little work it could be a very nice base for a great 2D RPG

you gotta expect a few bugs when it only took 2 days,well done DivineDominion!

any chance DivineDominion you can make it run a bit faster and get rid of the main chr dissappearing when other people walk near him?

Kool :)

Distract the other teams
How many other teams where there???what place did you get?

Who held the comp???
would be great for Gosu to have its own comp,probly have not run on atime limit,people only have to have it uploaded / emailed by a cetain date

Steamed vegies thats pretty hardcore,what unhealthy food did you decide to eat after getting sick of steamed vegies?
I think I would have only lasted 20 mins eating streamed vegies,would have gotten myself some chinese or thai maybe a steak or chops :)

Hey Nice work Janis

Ive added a larger screenshot ,so you can have a better idea of what the game looks like :)

Yeh where is the png files,As I cant access the website with the png's only the code sitesite
as im at work and they block certain stuff :(

Some Nice features used like parallax scrolling and a particle engine,good work though I think if there was some work done on the sprites,tiles and background it would look much nicer
though for 72 hours the Team Tortilla did very well!

Why is your team called Team Tortilla?did you eat nothing but Tortilla's for 3 days while making this game?

How many pixel perfect collisions could be done?
50?100?

Here are some new Gosu Logo that I designed in Photoshop,Comments anyone? Note though I didnt not spend a lot of time making these as I should be working

Yeh it would be great to have the logo in SVG format and add some color to it

I will try and see if I can come up with some new variations of the current gosu logo tomorrow or the next day

could the SVG format or a similar method be used to create a new type of sprite that can handle scaling much better than current bitmap sprites?
by breaking the bitmap up into shapes(squares,rectangles,circles etc) like the SVG format does, recreating the bitmap sprite at the size given into a buffer so it can be then displayed
like a normal sprite,sure it would use a lot more cpu power ,though with 3ghz dual core machines with 3gb of ram and 256-512mb gfx accelerator cards being very common now
surely it could be done?
Julian?

The Video on youtube looks very nice,smooth animation well done!

How goes its development?

How about we make a new fresh logo for Gosu!

and we could also try and make a mascot
which would only be used with Julian's approval
same for the new logo if Julian decides he would like a new logo!

I would like to promote Gosu and having a cool looking Logo and Mascot could help that a great deal,I think.

What do you think Julian?

It would be great if Gosu had a logo and a mascot,much like linux does

Maybe Japanese style  as Ruby is made by a Japanese guy "Matz"

Would be great to show the Ruby and Gosu logo on a website or at the start of your game :)

Comments Anyone???

Any Chance of a Gosu version that does not need Rubygame?

Thanks for trying

yeh it does have a couple of bugs

Very Impressive I must say,Keep up the good work Hongli Lai and Ninh Bui

Looking forward to seeing what you do next with Ruby and Gosu!!

You tryed to speed the game up ,though it didnt work is that what u mean?

Hey AmiMeYet
Your idea of using UI buttons in an improved version of your editor sounds great

Would you like to make a similar version of your editor but for my game "Arthur's Adventures"?
as they are almost the same except my game will have more tiles and objects that you can place

What is this game you are working on? what type of game is it?

Bye for now
Shinobi Chef

Hey AmiMeYet

whats your email address ,ill send you the other files u need if you want,like blueshield.png and gold.png

or you can make a copy of original gem file and rename it to blueshield.png same goes for gold.png

as far as gems not being in the source code any more,its because I am using gold now in place of gems so I though it would be best to rename it in the code too

run your map editor(v1.0) look at where the gems are placed that are the position above ground or grass tiles,the gem is partly inside the ground or grass tile,that how it appears for me any way

Talk to you soon
Shinobi Chef

Hey AmiMeYet

Great work with the map editor for Cptn Ruby

though when I ran it the sprites(gems) where not placed where they should have been
they where a bit lower than where they should have been (compared to where they are when you play Cptn Ruby)

so I edited the source code and now it works fine(for me at lease)

please try out the changes Ive made and see what you think

I plan to use the new version of your map editor for my game Arthur's Adventures,hope you don't mind,I will give you full credit of course

Here is the source code for the new version I made

No it dont lag,it would good though if the players speed was a little faster ,say 33% faster

Looks Very Good!

Have you been working on a new version????
would be nice to see where you are up too

Any chance of you posting the source code for it?

Good Work!

Any New Version in the works??

Thanks that worked great,I got the game running now!

any idea on how you would speed the game up??as it is running a little slow

Thanks ,Ill give that a try :)

Hey

Thanks for the reply

Beta testing would be great and help fixing bugs found and maybe design a level or two

what project/s are you working on at the moment?

yeh the games that im using for inspiration are great games

thanks for the art resources link
I will check it out :)

do you have any sprites or tiles that could be used?

Talk soon
Shinobi Chef

Very Impressive

Any New Version in the works???

How do I run the game/demo so I can test it
when  trying to run the main.rb I get the following error

>ruby main.rb
