Ah ah, yes I remember Joe show that in the old beta videos. But since NESMaker is officially out, he didn't really show that part. Sad, because specific tiles are very usefull!

This is looking fantastic! Great art. Great music. Were you influenced by Batman's title music?

Yeah, Batman was a pretty big influence for the title music. I wanted to have the same sort of dark, atmospheric vibe to it.

I approve of any and all Sunsoft inspirations.

Now if only I could use some custom bass samples in my other tracks. Haha

Here's the third iteration of The Tower of Turmoil! I figured I might as well get this out before 4.1.0 releases.

I added some more features!

First off, I updated the title screen a little bit.

The Down-Thrust attack ACTUALLY WORKS NOW!

The fireball hazards move a lot slower and shoot in a predictable pattern.

I've added new one-hit-kill spike hazards (like Megaman).

Lastly, I added a new spear-trap which emerges from the wall, requiring careful timing to get past it.


Once again, let me know what you think!

fucking phenomenal.

that triple jump stab is just wow.

you gotta explain how you pulled those tricks off.

[jorotroid]

Very nice! I also really enjoyed the triple bouncy stab. The spear-traps look really cool, too.

Looking good. I need to get my insta-kill spikes to insta-kill too ^^

Thanks a lot guys!

It actually wasn't that hard in the long run! I just edited the HandleObjectCollisions_Platform_Simple.asm script where it checks to see if the "Jump-On Kills" bit is flipped. Instead of looking for a bit flip, it just checks if the player is in his Down-Stab action state.

Starting on line 168:

Code: Select all

	;;;;;;;;;;;; IN A PLATFORM GAME, WE MAY WANT TO CHECK TO SEE IF WE STOMPED THE MONSTER.
	:;;;;;;;;;;;; THIS IS WHERE WE DO THAT.
	;LDX tempx
	;LDA Object_vulnerability,x
	;AND #%00001000					;Here we would change if monsters can be stomped on or not
	
	LDX player1_object				;But we're going to do it a bit differently
	GetCurrentActionType player1_object		 
    	CMP #$06                       			;Is the player down-attacking?	
	BEQ jumpOnMonster				;If so, we're able to jump on monsters to kill them
	;LDX player1_object
