The game pretty much uses the the basic löve features, TEsound for music and TEserial for save games. The tile system is one I wrote a while ago in AS3 which I made in tandem with a level editor I was making alas the editor was not as robust and flexible as I'd like so I redid in lua so I can pause the game and do all sorts of stuff now, each level has indoors and outdoors with 5 layers each (far distance 1/4 speed, distance 1/2 speed, background tiles, game tiles and foreground stuff). Also fun fact, I have yet to implement keyboard controls, I literally have a PS3 controller connected over bluetooth at all times so I haven't gotten around to it.

Wow, just the fact that you a built-in level editor is cool enough, but you also have some sort of physics going on and you have awesome artwork! This game is going to be awesome! Are you going to sell it?

Looks cool, without a doubt.

Yeah I got tired of quitting the game to open something else up just say, move one tile or change the movement path of a platform or something so I just had to do it out of laziness really the whole editor class is only 550 lines and comes with the layers, swapping backgrounds, adding images, smart tile painting (so it picks the right type depending on surrounding tiles), movement paths for tiles, you can add text to a signs that will pop up.

WIth a fairly straightforward tile-system, making an in-game editor actually makes more sense than a separate one since it's using the same renderer and just overlaying some extra stuff like lines to show movement paths and stuff like that, I've done everything myself so I could tweak everything as I went along but I don't know what it would be like making an editor for a premade tile system. The whole editor class is pretty small tbh it's totally isolated

Fun fact: left clicking the + button switches to the paint tiles mode, (r toggles random rotation for when you want to fill a space without it looking really ugly and repetitious) but right clicking gives you a list of background images in the folder (pictured in original post) that you can just pick and drop in, then hold right mouse button when they're in to scale, flip etc.

Might as well update with any new stuff

Bloody beautiful. Hats off to you and I am interested in seeing how this game turns out. Website is down.

Thanks! I've been away for the weekend but it seems to be up right now

Might post another screenshot or two today, I'd make a video but my measly Air couldn't handle it
