Lyglo the Triangle (Updates Topic)

Bump/D-P

Well, with about two and a half days before I'm back at home, things should start picking up the pace again soon. I still can't update from here because the internet connection is so low.

Once I get home, I should be able to get back to updating like before.

Just one bit of bad news here - I was working on world 3 on my mom's laptop, when it slipped off of the table (was on an angle, so now I have it on my lap instead), and the USB stick with all my data on it got bent. It's now at an almost 45 degree angle (the case and the port, that is). Thankfully, it still works, but seeing as there are two whole days of driving before I get home, if anything... Unfortunate were to happen to it, I might lose all my world 3 data.

Just a heads-up of the situation. When I get home, however, first thing I'll do is get a new USB stick.

Wow, the pace has been picking up so fast, the updates are gone before they were posted!

Kidding aside, is this still being worked on, or have you moved on to some other new project?

I'm still working on it, but it completely slipped my mind...

And right now one of my friends is over playing M+ rated games on his XBOX... he's only 13

I'll get back to updating as soon as I can get the latest build off my mom's laptop.

MEGA-BUMP/D-P

Okay... I really, really need to get things back in order here. I just managed to get the latest build of Lyglo on my main computer, and started playing it to see how I could get things going, and came to the conclusion that the current engine is just too difficult.

In the end, I decided that the only thing I could do would be to reprogram the entire game from the ground up.

So far, it's actually going well. Lyglo can move around and won't fall through the ground, and won't get stuck on ceilings this time (!), because I used a different method to get the platform engine working.

I expect that a demo of the game with the new engine should be out sometime this month.

Only problem is that I can't get power-ups to work right now. Going to go mess with options in the game and see if it'll work.

Hope the new engine works well!

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 2:02 am

It's working very well so far - Whakkas still get stuck on walls (can't fix that, there isn't an alternate method for their bouncing), but Lyglo doesn't stick on the ceiling or the walls or anything. Also, the new engine provides support for slopes:

The start of a new version of level 1. Uses some gentle slopes like in Mario World. Maybe there should be an option menu that lets you change the game to SMW mode...?

Just kidding.

A bit further on. The speed up power works fine, and the enemies hurt Lyglo like they should again.

I also have one last picture to post here:

I'll leave it up to you guys to work this one out.

Anyone who knows what this is, it's meant to be left a secret for those who don't. *wink*

I think a demo including the first few levels should be done by my birthday (5 days!).

That picture is somewhat misleading, items (enemies, powerups, etc.) don't work yet. Going to fix that soon.

THIS IS RANDOM! LYGLO THE TRIANGLE USES EAT ON DEEMAN.

You cannot eat this item here, It is too big and is not even an item.

Awesome game Qloof.
Can't wait for next demo (But sadly I have to wait a day or two)

orza6006 · Post by **orza6006** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 4:54 pm

Is the demo ready yet??

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 5:10 pm

Just about. I was going to work on it on my birthday, but somehow ended up going to Victoria...

And no, my laptop does not have Lyglo or MMF2 on it yet.

EDIT: LOLOLOL 1337 POSTS

I could make some tilesets for you, if you ever need them.
And I could make music ( in a few days ( or 1-3 weeks D: ) ) too.
But anyway, the le-I MEAN secret thing looks exciting... mwahahhaMWAHAHAHAHAHA*cough* sorry.

and this is coming along nicely

Awesome!
Which Victoria?

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:05 pm

Victoria Island, in Canada. We ended up taking a ferry ride there.

Me and my friend were relaxing in the executive lounge the whole time, because they had free coffee and food there.

Qloof! You have 1345 Posts!

Just add a pretend 2 in between 1 and 3, and it will be 12345 Posts!

*Bump*

You said in "Too many forum games --- do you agree?" that Lyglo was not dead.

Well?

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 9:26 pm

Well, it's not dead, but I'm still having to get used to using a laptop keyboard for programming things.

That is to say, I don't have much new to present right now.

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 6:56 pm

Bump/D.P.

Okay, I found the latest engine build of Lyglo and was about to start working on it when I realized that the copy of MMF2D I have on my laptop is missing a load of extension files I need to run the new engine.

As of such, I plan on copying said files over to this computer to see if it'll work. If not, then I have to work on the game on my old computer.

In the meantime, I managed to program a multiplayer character select/switching engine in MMF2. I don't have any plans to put it into Lyglo, but I might. Depends on how the engine works with four players.

EDIT: Okay, I managed to get MMF2 (laptop) to load the new Lyglo engine perfectly.

For the record, the level editor is something I'll work on later, because I don't even know if I can get it working 100%.

If you're bored and need ideas, make a level where Lyglo slides on buttered toast in pursuit of a bandit who stole his cheese pizza.

If that's too ridiculous, I'll just use it for Wefight - The Game.

I'm not out of ideas, I'm just in that awkward phase of getting all the old engine levels working in the new engine.

I might make use of the sliding concept for one level in world 3, but I don't think it'll involve sliding on toast in chase of pizza.
