ok, i have returned. without GitHub, but that’s besides the point (of this post here)

_ **I AM FINALLY GOING TO STOP PROCRASTINATING AND WORKING ON MY OTHER GAMES!** _ (temporally)  
my school year is almost done so I have come back with something called _free_ time, a weird feeling/liquid/solid/gas(?) where you actually have time to do stuff??? (I know, its _craz-_ oh! nope, not gonna say it)  
I’m gonna start using so said thing and actually getting stuff done possibly GitHub

My changes include, [but are not limited to] /j

computer background has changed from this:

I will start looking into finally **git** ing the Github… working

sorry about all the delays 😬 I think I might have the time+energy to work on this/get it finished!

P.S. if we finish this, we might just be one of the first people to finish a collaboration in all of the forum’s history!

GitHub is up and running! (I think) I just need EVERYONE who is working on this to give me their GitHub username so I can add you to the project. I think I might have used the wrong version but I can fix all of that later (I am currently working on this). pull before you push, and PING ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING!!!

@Cursedeclipse and @CopySprite can you guys get to coding?  
remember:

## PULL CHANGES BEFORE COMMITTING

or you could lose all ya progress (happened to me)

Honestly I just want leave the coding to @Cursedeclipse and expect something to happen.  
You know how it’s basically just us who have done anything since the first version. No offence to the ideas team.

Hey, me again. I’m _ **DONE** _ with school! for the next 3 months (summer vacation, yay). That means that I’m in full focus for this game, so I’ve got some questions/comments/concerns

Questions for @Cursedeclipse.

1. **What happens when you die (in the game)?** there has to be some sort of life meter, but what happens when it runs out. Are you double dead?

2. I’m sorry to ask again, but what is the genre. I need something specific like “Platformer Puzzle” or something like that.

3. Could I work on some art? I was thinking I make some rough “sketches” of some enemies, then the good artists could clean it up. (if that’s fine with them)

4. Could you actually lead the team (not trying to sound/be rude)? I just feel like your not making big decisions or contributing much.

Question for the Idea’s team! (mostly @TeddyB, @Not-a-creepy-doll, Cursedeclipse and @HaruhitoGames)

Could you guys brainstorm some more enemies (not bosses)? So far there’s only 3(?) enemies that I know of; The possessed player, Jumpy bug and spiky slug. That’s kind of a bland variety of enemies for a game, so if you guys could think up some more that would be cool. O̶h̶ s̶h̶o̶o̶t̶, i̶’m̶ o̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ i̶d̶e̶a̶’s̶ t̶e̶a̶m̶!̶ I’ll brainstorm some enemy’s too  
_see’s spritesheet image_ “oops!”

Questions for the art team (mainly @Luke, @BlastBoxGames and @JtSpeedRun)

1. Would you all be fine with me making rough drafts for some sprites? I just have some ideas for enemies, npc’s, ect that I can’t make myself because I’m not too good at pixel art.

2. Could you guys make some enemy sprites/animations? I really need them to continue working on a decent amount of stuff

Question for @CopySprite  
Are you gone yet/going to leave. If you aren’t gone could you give an estimate of when your leaving and when your coming back.

Questions for the code team

1. What are your strengths in coding (ex: good with enemies, tilemaps, movesets ect)
2. What do you want to work on?

Question for Music team (@InvalidProject and copysprite if your still around)

1. Could you guys make more music? so far its sounding great, but we need much more.

Questions for Not-a-creepy-doll

1. Can you post some of your other ideas? All of them are great and reasonable which is hard to do so I appreciate that.

Poll’s! if you could vote that would be appreciated.

> Could I work on some art

concept art would be amazing and super helpful, but first we should figure out how many areas/levels there are, as well as a general theme for each area so that the enemies/sprites/tiles have consistency. This also makes designing these elements easier.

I think that the insect/green enemies could work well for the current area I’m working on:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/d/d3167853887446d23ee88248af725d7a70265e6c.png)  
However, the possessed player enemy probs works better for the lower levels (mebbe a shadowy, darker floor)

I was thinking that the hell is a sort of layered structure, dante-style.  
when you “die” you evaporate and re-form in your designated afterlife spot.  
I was thinking a stealth/metroidvania (if that makes sense), sneak past the enemies or charge through them, with roguelike elements  
if you have any lore questions i have a lore paper, just ask.  
we do still need one enemy (make two), so continue brainstorming.

as part of the code team, your answers:  
I’m good with tilemaps and niche systems (like items that change your skills)  
and i was working on coin drops and a shop system.

## @Luke

there are 4-5 areas: a grassy area (hell plains) the collumny area (ruins), a cave area (caverns), one more (maybe) and a nightmare shadow pit (Depths of Hell), in order of progression.

the idea is a being that likes to be a challenge for players. if they fail, they should get a more impending and frustrating punishment’s to make they try harder and get better. therefore I think that when the player dies a floating eye should go where the player died to guard that spot for next time, making dying annoying.
