  • I like to put my scrollto behavior on a separate invisible object and then just lerp it's position to the players.

    I only use it if I need screenshake or want to track multiple objects, though. If you don't need those it's easier to just go through system and lerp your scrollx and scrolly values to the player (or anywhere else) directly.

  • Added some FX and an evasive slide move to my mech prototype.

  • Man, this is all looking so good! I really like your UI design.

    Ahr Ech (I can't seem to figure out how to your username with that space in there?) - The mech suit it great. I've been playing the alpha of Reliquary on my pc and really digging it!

    Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! And Sick Bay looks awesome, great concept!

    C-7 Congrats man!

  • I took a break from working on Reliquary yesterday afternoon and most of today so I could get a prototype idea out of my system. Sort of a mech shooter thing. I'm really happy with how it turned out, so this might by my next project once Reliquary is finished!

    Monumental Wow, that looks really cool! Gonna have to bookmark your thread.

    This looks great!

    Thanks!

  • Looking good everybody!

    Here's some Reliquary stuff I posted on Twitter yesterday for Screenshot Saturday.

  • Last week I did a second pass on inventory items and re-worked particle effects for the jetpack so that it leaves a trail now.

  • Wow, this is looking really great! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

  • but here is the thing... it will never work when scroll is at 0,0 or when crossing the origin. (scroll x=0 and scrollx = -2)

    Ah right, I hadn't thought of that. You're right then, we totally need this!

  • You can set parallax at runtime. Maybe play around with that?

  • In the pathfinding section of your object's properties, you'll have to set Rotate Object to "no" and then use events for all rotation.

    Wow, that looks really great! I love your artwork.

    Here's what I've been up to:

    This is the way into an optional level inside the leviathan.

  • This is my current project, Reliquary.

    And these are from a couple prototypes I built last year.

  • I like to add an instance variable to my z-sort family and sort by the family's Y value + the variable. Then if two instances are overlapping I'll just pick the top instance and set it's variable to something small, like 0.1, so it can be at the same physical spot and still sort in the order I want. I also use that variable to make things that are off the ground sort correctly without having to move their centerpoint or whatever. It's just really handy for an additional layer of control.
