Yeah yeah, pretty and funny and it jumps but so, what happened to the Herbie and to the previous announced roguelike in this thread?SimonLarsen wrote:

While struggling to design some levels for Herbie & Jamal we came to the conclusion that the game simply wasn't fun. It was fun to make but the game design didn't work. So we decided to cancel it but we're hoping to reboot the project if we figure out how to make it fun.coffee wrote: Yeah yeah, pretty and funny and it jumps but so, what happened to the Herbie and to the previous announced roguelike in this thread?
The more platformers, the better!SimonLarsen wrote:
That's a bit sad. You guys spent a lot of hours developing and tuning Herbie and Love community response opinion about it was smashing good. I hope that project reborn in some way. Good luck for new project! Seems quite solid for now. And we need to touch it to see it's really "fun".SimonLarsen wrote:While struggling to design some levels for Herbie & Jamal we came to the conclusion that the game simply wasn't fun.

The roguelike was never more than a mockup and simple prototype. Just sort of lost interest in that one.
Sad about Herbie & Jamal. The new platformer looks very slick!SimonLarsen wrote: While struggling to design some levels for Herbie & Jamal we came to the conclusion that the game simply wasn't fun.

Agreed and also hard haha!kikito wrote:Sad about Herbie & Jamal. The new platformer looks very slick!
Yeah. Make the background layer be a separate grid of tiles that moves slower than the foreground. As long as you optimized it well enough Löve should have no problem handling two, if not three layers.slime wrote:Needs moar parallax.
Agreed. It's looks awfully flat right now.slime wrote:Needs moar parallax.

Took me like 30 tries to get a recording where I didn't die (except at 0:36 which was on purpose to show off the animation.)Thanks man. I really appreciate all the feedback we got.coffee wrote:That's a bit sad. You guys spent a lot of hours developing and tuning Herbie and Love community response opinion about it was smashing good.

If it's drawn separately (i.e. before the foreground, but as a separate loop.) you just have the game calculate which tiles to show for two different layers instead of one and have the second one have a slower movement speed. It's more complicated than that but with a bit of thought you can figure out exactly how to do. Basically, if you have a map that's 256 tiles wide and you want your background to move at 50% speed you just have it move * 0.5 and only have it be 128 tiles wide. 75% speed would be * 0.75 and be 192 tiles. Etc, etc...SimonLarsen wrote:Agreed. It's looks awfully flat right now.slime wrote:Needs moar parallax.
Not decided how I'm gonna do it yet. Right now the background is just a separate layer in Tiled.
