Ouch, this is a lot of files...
That happens because the map editor store unused space. I think it's better if you handle the map by yourself. For example, in the demo that I posted on the first page, the space used for each room is 6962 bytes (However, it use only 2 background layers).
I tested newsbtool map editor and the size for a map of 25x15 tiles (Enough to cover the top screen) is 70080 bytes (Using 4 layers).
Regarding the code, there is a lot of code that is repeated across the file. For example, codes to load a map or code to display the message on screen. You should use a function instead for those since the only thing that change is the value you use (The name of the map or the message that is displayed).
I will probably add an arctic part of the world map. I might be an idiot and make the overworld maps huge. Yes, I said maps, I'm planning on having 3 overworlds split into sections. The amount of sections in each overworld will be a perfect square (4,9,16,ect.) so that the overworld will be a square (duh.)
Now I did what I said I would do and copied this here word for word in like 2 minutes, including saying this. I also discluded the extra junk that doesn't belong here.
EDIT: My edit doesn't count.
OTHER EDIT: Same with my other edit. Just changing my time amounts to be more accurate.
OK great. Have fun. Also, I won't be here as often. Hope development goes well :)
Very nahce, very nahce. I'll be sure to stay updated. Project_2 has not been started yet because I'm lazy :) don't worry I'll get to it eventually. Also random_ if you need help with Ruebled don't be afraid to ask. Yeet.
Hey guys, I'm just back from a break from SB, and I noticed that you originally posted that you had an opening for a AI developer (presumably for enemies, or other NPCs).
If this position is not already filled, I would take it gladly.
I have done much research on AI, and perhaps you would even allow me to imbue the NPC's with some simple learning (for example to make boss battles hard, as they slowly learn the players strategies.)
(Q-learning, Eurisko-type learning, simple stuff like that)
Or is this just another dead project?
Hey guys, plot twist! (literally!) I have decided to change the plot, to be a bit less copying Zelda. I have decided to make it so that you are a young human who wants to do something, but don't know what you're getting into. The story will be a bit more tragic hopefully, that's what I am headed for. I will start a new folder to make the new story; if you don't agree, I can always go back to the old folder but I will lose alot of features and bug fixes and I dont want that. So vote here:
[poll=p539][/poll]
And vote before the 4th!
EDIT: I'm also definitely changing the bg tiles to 32x32 pixels, to give it that feeling y'know? (this will also apply to sprites)
Ok, everyone, just to make things clear, we are not scaling up the sprite sheet. We are using spscale and bgscale, but we are scaling the bg sheet up. So, yeah.
Hey, sorry for the late reply!
Anyways, I will gladly work on the AI's.
Because I have no idea what this game is about, I would appreciate a summary of the plot, if you could.
Just let me know what the NPC is going to need to do, send a key, and I will get right to work.
I also could probably help with other development here and there if there is a developer shortage.
Thanks a lot,
Mr_Mo
