  What we learnt in last chapter:
Ahroo, the evil forum-user had a secret contract with the authors of Flixel.
As he started advertising it, someone divided by zero


OH NOEZ! NOT DIVIDZ BYH 0! IMPOZZ..


What will happen next? Watch the next chapter! Coming 2012.

  Regardless, Flixel IS the way to go... yes, I'm advertising it. xP

  BTW you can have HUNDREDS of things onscreen at once... I played a particle test, it looked EPIC. O_O
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Noticed the second before you posted xD
Ahroo 14 years ago
  You can get Flex for free, it's an internet download... :/
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Guess that would be quite nice... If I had Flex that is... I'll just download it.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  holy crap the universe is imploding, you buy time to watch a movie o.O
Ahroo 14 years ago
  I was gone to buy a watch, movie and eat dinner... :/

You should get Flixel, it'll help a lot with making this. xD
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Ahroo is back from... Wait, you were gone?

Yearh, 5 layers (The sixth is the playing area) is a bit of an overkill, which is the reason we're cutting it down to four ([ class=irony]Which totally isn't a overkill[ /class])
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Back. :D

BTW having 6 layers is kinda overkill... :p
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  since the cloud layers go above the others, ill combine hills 2 and clouds 2, but the result will be 1024 by 4000 pixels.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  shouldn't Clouds 1 be big and Clouds 2 be small?
[edit] never mind...
also, my keyboard called an admin for me o.O
I did cancel it lol
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  If you could merge the clouds layers, that would make a total of 4 layers, which should be ok :D You could merge on of the cloud layers with another layer if you want
Hexicube 14 years ago
  birjo thats basically how it works :P
Ahroo he only has 3 layers stated...that is a few lol
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  I could make other layers to go on top of it.

So heres the order of layers:

1- Clouds 1- small and light purple shading
2- clouds 2- big clouds (the pic i posted before by scaled big with shading)
3- hills 1- (the curent pic below)
4- Hills 2- Darker hills in more detail
5- Bushes 1- Bushed, lots of holes with berries.
6- playable lvl.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  True... But you'd probably need a few layers. :/
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  I like it, even though it is a bit plain.
If I go with Marc's idea of having multiple backgrounds, this one would be great as one of them, but as it is now, it's a bit too plain to make it.

Actually, I might just end up using Marc's plan. Shouldn't be too hard.
Every time the player moves 5 pixel, move the front image 3 pixels, the second image 2 pixels and the third image 1 pixel, or something along these lines.
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  Birjo, did you see my pic?
Ahroo 14 years ago
  @Birjo, okay. :/
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  i can still add more detail, but i dont want to spend hours and birjolaxew not use it.

So im going step by step. He already aproved my miniture version, so now i just need him to aprove my larger version before i contininue.
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  No fights please, we don't want this thread to have a bad reputation.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  True, but I like ARTY backing, even if no one ever sees it. :/
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  Ahroo, its BACKGROUND as in 90% of it will be covered by blocks in the lvl.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Giant Bushes and Clouds? THAT'S your BG? ':_

What is Pixelized?

Pixelized is a future game, currently being developed by birjolaxew. It's in the development state, and - due to different obstacles - it won't be released to the public before 2011. It will probably go into testing state early-middle 2011.

What's the gameplay?
In Pixelized, the current idea is that you - the player, will be a small pixelated man trapped in a block world. Carrying specific blocks with you (Each block acting it's own way) you'll have to build your way through puzzles. A great example of the whole block concept can be found in the 3D game "Minecraft". Notice, that details can change during the development.

What have you done by now?
As of 17/11/10, I'm fiddling with the BL API, Flash and the basic game. I'll upload a "game" soon, but it won't be actually playable, and therefore I wont add any testers.

What blocks will be included?
A list of the blocks currently planned:
Dirt (Affected by gravity)
Stone (Not affected by gravity)
Mud (Not affected by gravity - Created by dirt blocks, directly touching water)
Ice (Not affected by gravity - Slippery, only available in winter mode)
Snow (Affected by gravity)
Sand (Affected by gravity - Found near bigger areas of water)
Gravel (Affected by gravity - Created by stone blocks, directly touching water)
Undestroyable (Used to block of parts of the level - Can't be placed/mined)

Where will it be released?
Right here, on BonusLevel.

Screenshots
Ahroo made us some game graphic (Great work I must say). I've put them together, to make an example of how a regular map will look while zoomed in.
Example of a map
Any way to keep track of the project?
Most certainly. I've made a blog, located here
