TESTERS NEEDED!! (Sunset Canyon Act 1 and 2)

I will! You're one of the first people I had in mind as a tester. Avee is also good at pointing out flaws. I've had a handful of subscribers help me with this game since I announced it, so hopefully they test as well.

I think I remember this area. Is this Mt. Sabre? I believe this was the part where the people of that village were captured. By the way, have you added any new Equipment yet? Also, do you know a way of programming the rabbit boots (because they jump)?

This is how the new Stage Maps will look (as of now). I used basic shapes to do the shading in cornered areas. I used tiles that had a basic, classic look to it, so it isn't that detailed. The look of map is supposed to give an RPG map feeling (although you can't control the character).

@Avee
I love brainstorming boss strategies!!(I know you do also). I want the boss battle(whatever it may be) to be clever, fun, fast-paced, and difficult. I just don't know whether the boss should be located in the pyramid, or outside in the sand. I was also thinking of adding mini bosses. The Seaside Coast Boss in the current demo is difficult (you know what I mean). You have to have a good strategy. To beat him I would...

  • Repel his maces with the shield and let it hit him
  • Use all slash waves, then either hide for recovery or follow one of the other strategies
  • Slash like a maniac, then run in the opposite direction
  • Spin Slash right next to him or over him to deal weak damage, but it is a rapid attack so it builds up.

@Sana
A Giant Sand Golem is a fantastic idea!! I could have him throw his arms or head at you or something. Good thinking!!

Yes, much MUCH better.
It looks both very sunsetty and canyony.
I agree! This is an improvement. The only problem I have is deciding the Boss. I was thinking of a Giant Scorpion, Dragonfly, Poisonous Snake,a Reptile or some other Desert Related animal.

As an experienced Manga artist, I must say this is an EXCELLENT piece of work!! And, this is just the sketch of it. There is so much detail in it also. I am very impressed. Tell him to keep up the good work!

This looks so much better! Great job man~ :)
Thanks for your feedback Sana!! Now I can finally add more levels without worrying about the Sunset issue.

A recent Snapshot of Sunset Canyon. I based this version on an image I found on Google. There is no longer a foreground image, and the sun was added also. Although,I still may have to fix this.

I suppose this would help with the whole Sunset Discussion.

Draw background color adds color to the transparent sunset backgrounds( Upper Left).
Foreground image makes it an overlay. I can easily change the background color to change the whole sunset colorization.

This is basically how I create levels, add objects, place tiles, camera views, and multi-layered backgrounds. All I have to do is place them after I code them.

Tell me exactly what should be done (If any). I somewhat already know how to do it, but I want to know if it's right before I proceed to the other levels of this world. Although, the sky comes in a variety of colors as the sun moves up and down, so I can't get all the sunset colors in one background.Feedback on the sunset would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

Try making only the sky orange, yeah

The simplest way is probably just to find a background sky that is supposed to be a sunset, instead of tinting anythign
Yeah! I'll do that. The only problem is the foreground image covers everything, I can't fix that, but making the background like that only is a simple solution. Thanks!!
