We will use your art if we need to.

On second thought we might not be able to use your intro CodaKnight unless you are willing to add the intro to the games yourself and send it to me because this code is mostly javascript and in block mode it way more complex and to add to our other games might be a pain

Thank you @kirbob :angelfish: It took a while to figure out the math and how to copy the sprites while not making it lag. I forgot I couldā€™ve used the easing extension I think lol.

The only thing I would improve is not making the fading parts so long.

Progress made!

Okay, so as of posting this and releasing Squishia 1 v1.00001, Iā€™ve made some progress on the actual redesigning for the intro, palette design, and code format. I didnā€™t add anything to the actual game and I havenā€™t fixed the bug with it yet.

Progress:

  • Added intro that palette is bugged
  • Moved the code into JS/TS and reorganized it
  • Added lots of extensions that will probably be needed.

A Metroidvania is a type of game that focuses on exploration and discovery. The game loop revolves mainly around finding a secrets, which gives you a key to another area, where you find more secrets in a giant map of interconnected areas. These keys are usually disguised as abilities, for example there might be a large wall that you must get double jump to pass.

Modern examples of this genre are Hollow Knight Silksong and the like, but the genre has ancient roots in both Super Metroid and Castlevania, hence the name.

think hollow knight, subnatica, ect, a game where you progress at your own pace and where thereā€™s lots of optional content and stuff

Hey, if @VoxelMaster64 , or @LazerTag2 can help me with a bug, that would be much appreicated!

Bug:
Iā€™m using a color palette for the intro to match the style weā€™re going for. I didnā€™t change the original palette since I donā€™t wanna mess up with the colors when doing pixel art, but thereā€™s a problem with it:

Iā€™m using this to fade during the intro and set the sword palettes:

namespace color {

    //% fixedInstance whenUsed block="Intro"

    export const IntroColor = hexArrayToPalette([

        parseColorString("#F2F2F2"),

        parseColorString("#ECECEE"),

        parseColorString("#DCDDE1"),

        parseColorString("#F19900"),

        parseColorString("#CD8406"),

        parseColorString("#F4B851"),

        parseColorString("#F7CD85"),

        parseColorString("#FFFFFF"),

        parseColorString("#87F2FF"),

        parseColorString("#8E2EC4"),

        parseColorString("#6D4838"),

        parseColorString("#ECECEE"),

        parseColorString("#885A46"),

        parseColorString("#000000"),

        parseColorString("#000000") 

    ])
}

The values are all shifted (I think) by one since itā€™s in an array. I really donā€™t know how to fix this and I tried to add another #000000 to the front, but it still didnā€™t look the same. I also copied the palette and images from the original intro animation I made so I donā€™t think itā€™s the images or palette. I just need help with it so the palette and swords look fine.

*Note: The code for that example is in the file ā€œcolorEnumā€

A Metroidvania is an exploration-focused action game where you gradually unlock new abilities that let you reach places you couldnā€™t access before. Instead of completing levels one by one, you explore one big connected world, backtrack to earlier areas with new powers, and discover secrets, upgrades, and shortcuts.

Some well-known examples are:

  • Hollow Knight
  • Ori and the Blind Forest
  • Super Metroid
  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Thank you so much! I needed this for so long and I just could not find out what was wrong. So all I needed to do was use an enumerator?
