I really like how this game is progressing. It already looks quite playable 
Keep up the good work!

SFML projects / Re:creation - a top down action adventure about undeads
« on: March 27, 2016, 10:18:34 pm »
Looking at your (once again thorough) explanation including visuals, I wanted to reply with something quite profound....but couldn't think of anything. Mainly because i'm thinking you've investigated quite a few options yourself and therefore are well-informed on the pros and cons of each existing method.
Also you mentioned preventing placement of entities larger than 2 tiles in those zones, but what if you have a scenario with a 3 tile high moving entity?
Maybe an entity / mob would have a tile-height to check against (and simply cannot move underneath when tile-height > Z)?
Keep up the good work!
I don't think I'll add jumping. It's pretty hard to implement and make levels having that in mindJust wanted to add the question: Does this mean you also don't want to add falling from platforms and/or hovering off of them (or from one to the other) in ghost form?

« on: March 26, 2016, 08:26:10 am »Yeah I like the rotation idea, animation would be really cool but I'm not a great animator so I might add that later when I get better at itOh i didn't mean anything super fancy with animation, but more instead of just showing them onscreen, make them zoom in juuust slightly or (as you will) move the camera a bit from left to right when showing a polaroid and vice versa on the next. So ye basically play a bit with the camera in a very subtle way when fading into the polaroids.
. Just a suggestion ofc.The very first room of the game, prior to acquiring a space helmet. Wonder what's behind that heavy door?A SPACESHIP...OR ....OR....a TELEPORTER PAD !!! a three headed monkey?(click to show/hide)

General discussions / Re: [Paid/Contract]Need A C++ SFML Programmer For 2D Platformer Maker Game.

To take on such an ambitious project i would personally never agree to a fixed price arrangement. That's because development will always take up more time than you planned for (so based only on fixed price it would always cost you money).
Good luck finding your programmer though. I hope you'll succeed

I think the game is in a too early stage to actually provide some feedback on (Altho Foxhunters points are valid of course).
By all means, keep the progress going and the thread alive!

« on: March 25, 2016, 01:24:07 pm »
I'm somewhat hesitant, but at the same time *might* be interested.
Hesitant because i've seen and witnessed some pretty ugly conflicts due to people having different views on time, earnings, direction and what not.
I too am no expert, but i know my way around SFML and C++ well enough to produce what i want. My code will work (but could probably be made more optimal).
I've done several games in the past including c64 assembly games, some very basic c++ test-games and several HTML5 games.
Currently i'm working on a Zelda-like game (balance of puzzle and action), but focussed on coop play. Very early stage still as i started last week

General discussions / Re: Keyboard array?
« on: March 25, 2016, 07:55:58 am »
It's really easy to create such an array yourself - a couple of lines of code.
every key's state can be checked with keys[sf::Keyboard:<key>]
std::map<int,bool> keys; // Add this somewhere in a class or where it doesn't get destroyed
// ---
sf::Event event;
while(window.pollEvent(event)) {
switch(event.type) {
case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
keys[event.key.code] = true;
break;
case sf::Event::KeyReleased:
keys[event.key.code] = false;
break;
default:
break;
}
// ---
sf::Event event;
while(window.pollEvent(event)) {
switch(event.type) {
case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
keys[event.key.code] = true;
break;
case sf::Event::KeyReleased:
keys[event.key.code] = false;
break;
default:

}

Still lacking some gameplay screenshot(s) - because i only started 1 week ago lol - here's at least a piece of a choice scene in the game. It's somewhat unpolished, but it demonstrates the art style i want to use in the game:

Polaroid style...With some ambient animations i can imagine? I love it
Perhaps when showing them play a bit with (slight) rotation?

« on: March 24, 2016, 11:20:09 am »As said before, the project looks damn good, I hope you'll add a lot and a lot of elementsWhat i hope to see is some trap mechanics. Kinda like in Bomberman.
(Ennemies, loot etc..)
So the player can put down a certain kind of trap / bomb with a timer and lure the enemy within range for:
- increased damage
- temporary complete freeze, slowness, or starting freeze and slowly regaining normal speed
- temporary immobalization (can still shoot, but not move)
- temporary blindness
- etc
