Use The Arrow Keys To Move!
Finished the XML loader! I also decided to make a loading screen, everything can now be placed randomly. I’ve also started to work on stylizing the game, I still like how the old game looked however I always planned to make the environment more dark and dynamic, adding lights and soft movement etc.
You can move the character using the arrow keys.
Started the level editor, I want it to be able to read the levels from an xml and draw everything depending on the current level. So far I’ve setup 1 base level which I will next try to recreate with an xml with hopefully the same result.
Added camera bounds so that the character looks like hes reached the edge of the map =D
Update: Added Hills also changed the camera fix so that it also effects the Y. I’ve left in the walls so you have some stuff to jump around if you want =].
Update: Fixed camera to character.
Not sure if I’ll change this in the future but at the moment I’m liking it. Next up hills! I’m looking at examples from remakes of tiny wings for inspiration and insight into how this technique could be done in box2d.
Awesome! I’ve integrated the box2d engine so that I am able to create static and dynamic actors. Whats exciting for me with this update also is that the container which stops the actors from flying off screen is actually created using a single actor instead of 4, this means that I can make complex shapes as a single actor without the code being super messy =]
Its been a while since I have done any work on SS but the holidays have finally arrived and I want to get back to it. However I’ve decided to start the project again in the hope to include some exciting new features such as…
Controls:

Press A,W,S,D to move around.
Use the Arrow keys to attack in all directions!
Update:

New background I made today, game is currently being restyled and I’m fixing tracking bug, new version should be up and running soon. Also next update will include Hills! omg hills! Yes you will be able to run up and down hills, and you will have fun doing so. Over and Out.
