YES! Well chuffed you're making this Louie! Dead chuffed you're back in fairness, proper thought we had lost you. Going to play the original all the way through again and keep a close eye on this topic! Let me know if I can help at all... I wouldn't mind having some involvement

[Hoj]

Just realised the original one is in the package as well! LOVE it. The fact it's an install as well reminds me full on of the olden days, where we thought that would make it more professional.

[louielouie]

lol yea... and every one hated installing

[Hoj]

Installed the original though mate, worth it for this.

[Hoj]

Progress report? Please?

[louielouie]

only had an hour on it this week... been busy..but yea...
progressing

i have a small level layout
decent enough movement engine
couple of simple enemys
adding collectables atm
gonna add bonus collectable to take ya to a bonus level(maybe)

[Hoj]

That looks absolutely mint.

So glad you're using the 320x256 screen size and have developed a proper scrolling engine for this. Elvis certainly deserves another good game, because I love that character. Your sprites look really tidy as well mate; love the various enemies and (what looks like) a well laid out level.

Cute HUD as well. + cool to see some collectables, including keys. Kind of gives it that Jag Ball feeling.

[Old Craywyn]

That looks awesome Louie, top work mate x

Tbf, I'm very tempted to start a new game from scratch. Obviously a platformer, and maybe Flug. I sort of want to work on something entirely new though, like Wicky the Worm (lol).

I'm a little tied up at the moment with stuff though, like, I want to spend time working on the new Martin2k website and such (if you've seen).

Will let you know when I pick MMF2 up again =) Cuz I will.



Oh and I'm glad you're still working on this. I know how easy it is to just suddenly cba.
