Finally got around to trying this. The results are amazing. I'm remaking FFL3 to learn the engine and it's such a blast to see that old game in 3D!

Here's my comments/issues:

The only real bug I came across was in having the ground be non walkable tile, water. And land is a 1 tile high mountain, with sloping sides. If I walk down the slope and touch the waters edge, my character 80% of the time get's stuck and can't walk back up the slope.
*This happens with most surfaces, not just floor. I get stuck in walls when going up and down slopes*

I find the hit detection on map stuff kind of wonky. It seems like everything is using boxes, but my character will get caught up between sprites when walking diagonally along them. It seems to depend on the camera angle and position of the sprites. Sometimes it's fine, other times my character has to avoid touching stuff or get stuck. Also, objects like teleports, it seems like my character doesn't have to come very close to the object and it triggers. So the player will accidentally trigger them and the collision doesn't seem to represent true visual contact.

Oh, and I hope to see ability to choose direction facing after a teleport. Character always faces down.
*I see now it's a greyed out option*

It's IMPOSSIBLE to make my character walk through single tile paths. If the camera is front facing, and my character tries to walk up a bridge, it's not happening. No matter what, even if I try to walk diagonally into it. If I turn the camera side facing, no problem. If camera is front facing, and I move it back and forth while trying to cross the bridge, sometimes my character will enter that seemingly 1 pixel size path of walkablility. Then I can walk up the bridge with the camera front facing(until I leave the bridge and move left/right). Then for some reason after I do that, it becomes possible for me to diagonally walk along the water, and when I come to the bridge it will allow my character in, where it wouldn't let me do that at first. It's very inconsistent. Almost like the game moves my character in 2+ pixel steps, and I'm trying to enter a 1 pixel wide path. It doesn't always line up, but once it does it works until I get out of alignment. I dunno.
*Workaround was to reduce hero hitbox by 1 pixel, but still seems odd I would have to*


I'm sure it's being worked on, but I'd like more options with walls. I'd like to be able to use tileset tiles, and have my wall be 1x1 tile. Not forced 1x2 with special large size tiles. Turning some 16x16 pixel tiles into 48x48 doesn't work so good.

The documentation is hard to understand and doesn't seem to give much information. It simply tells you where to find an option, but no information on how to make use of it and how it affects the game. I think perhaps language barrier is an issue as well. The way some of it is worded doesn't make it clear what the function even does. If you are interested, and would actually use it, I could write some updated stuff to show what I mean. If you like it, I could help out with that stuff in the future, once I figure out how it all works in more detail.

I couldn't seem to move an existing object to a higher plane. When I first started messing around I was working on flat ground. Then I learned about mountains and made the entire map 1 tile high. And when I tried to move my hero object to the higher plane, he stayed on the lower plane, under the tile. He would start the game inside the ground. I didn't seem to find any options to change it's height, CTRL didn't help. The only thing that worked was to create a new object.

I would like options for certain things that memorize on teleport. For now the main one I notice is that if I change the camera height on a map, then tele away, it goes back to normal. If I give the player the ability to change camera manually, it would suck if it keeps resetting. I couldn't seem to SET the camera, only ADD. Anytime I would use SET for camera height, no matter what number I put in - either 1 or 100 or more, it would give me a high up birds eye view of the map. I can only do +10, or +50, to slowly zoom in and out.
*I see options on the map properties to set things like music, camera, etc. These seem to override any changes I make with events. There should be an option in map properties to disregard this override. Like in RPG Maker where you can choose "rely on event" or something like that. If I make a stage with multiple maps, I would want to set all these things once and have it apply to everything moving forward.

That's all I can think of for now. I only spent 2 days in it and haven't tried many functions yet. I spent most of my time so far on importing graphics and making maps. It's very easy to do, however lack of select/copy/pasting makes editing maps very tedious.

I'm looking forward to getting into RPG battles, although I suspect there won't be much to work with.

Please give us more buttons to bind functions to!


Edit: Found a bug.

While in map properties I added code:

Wait 5 seconds
teleport to another map

Picked the spot, hit OK, OK
