New Style = New Features:

Well because I'm styling the game and redoing the engine, I've thought why not add new features in now?

I'm coding in a simple World Total checker that allows you to check what your missing ect. Also the health system is changed, now you've got a health meter that is made out of cup-cakes. The floating head has been removed.

Right onto the new gameplay feature: Coins. These coins come in five different colours, for each character. (Blue=Joel, Green=Mikey, Red=Mr.LAW, Yellow=McFlagFlag and Pink=Abikins)
Due to TGF being not too good, it wont allowing saving of each individual coin, (unless I make each one a different active object) so it'll only save your top coin score. When you leave or die, the coins will reset as well as your current coin score. ( I hope I make sense). Basically like the note system in Banjo Kazooie (N64 version)

Anyway enjoy the new pics!

What system are you using for the different coins and how are you saving them? I'll bet you TGF can do it.

This game has a very nice atmosphere to it, I love it. It does kind of have a similar feel to Rare games. Which is an awesome thing.

By the way, I really like the new font, but I liked the old one a lot too. It had character.

Looks nice! But are there only going to be 5 playable characters? I though there would be more...

TGF could do it... you'd just have to make it spread a value through the coins in the beginning. Then it saves values in an INI or array denoting having been collected, and the next time the level is loaded, you'd have it delete the coins whose values in the array or INI were marked as having been collected.

WHY'D YOU DESTROY HURRY UP?!!! THAT was a beautiful font...

Good progress though.

that looks fantastic! i do think that the font does kind of stand out a bit too much though... but hey it still looks pretty neat.

i like the cupcake idea, because well, i like cupcakes... yum.

Oh, that's what the floating head was for.

I could always change the font back I guess lol. Cheers for the views guys!

Jon I have never thought of going about saving it that way before. I might just try that idea out!

5 MAIN playable characters, with others being lets say...special ones. You'll see what I mean later on.

Anyway thanks for your comments !
