Please Test This?

Posted by Hyptosis - January 7th, 2014


Hey guys! Last night I thought I'd sling together a sidescroller toolset for myself. Map transitions, functioning save, etc. After the huge distasters my previous sidescrollers are this just goes to show you I don't learn a damn thing from my mistakes and keep poking the snake, ignoring the rattle.

Here is it, just a single day worth the work, including the awful art. But the one thing I'd like everyone to test for me, is the save/load function, and if they detect any frame drops. There will be a slight drop when you save, that's expected, but there shouldn't be drops anywhere else. Please let me know what browser you're using too! Thanks!

Arrows and WASD controls the character. No weapons, no ducking, just running and jumping right now.

First thing - when i went to the first level i missed 2 clones.
when i started new game second time i got only one clone.
Clones allow to use exits and saveponts.
When i load game with them they are dies away.

The clones is a bug, lol, should be fixed now. Was hoping no one saw that! :D Thanks!

I am using the Firefox browser. I have found no problems or bugs in this short, sidescroller toolset. In fact, the only thing I noticed was the infinitesimally small drop in framerate when saving. There no drops anywhere else as you surmised. That is all I have to report.

Thank you so much man! ^5

HD GAME, Nice :D 10/10 :D

Thanks!

The game is good but there is one problome that is bugging me.
The movment of the charctor is to slipery I feel like im not even conroling it.
plz fix it

I'll work on it, thanks!

no problems here man.

Thanks!

So I jumped around, saved 2 times, refreshed the page and loaded 2 times, and it works as expected, I didn't find any problems.
It is very difficult to jump precisely. Like, if I need to jump on a distant tiny spot, I will miss with 100% probability. OK?
OK.

Thanks!

Tested on Chrome v 31.0. Average frame rate of 60. Runs smoothly all around even at the transitions - saving doesn't have much of an impact either. Animations are simple and they look good. Dump a revision for further testing when you've finished making changes with this one.

Thank you so much!

Firefox 26.0

The only noticeable frame drop I'm seeing is during saves, which you know about.

Thank you sir!

Saving worked fine, however, the frame drop is a little annoying. What I found a little strange was the jumping: It feels like your speeding up, and when landing after a long jump, the character seems to slow down. It doesn't fell 100% fluent this way. Also, I'm not completely comfortable with the way the character jumps (height, movement, animation), but that's just my personal opinion. :)

Thanks man, sorry you don't like the play control. X_x I'll work on it. :D

moving, jumping,doors, saving, loading... all works perfectly on safari version 4.1.3!

Thank you!

Works perfectly, good job

Damn, what did I write before.. I should stop writing stuff before having my first coffee in the "morning". :D However, if you changed something, feel free to share a link again, I'll eagerly test it. :)

I actually like that frame drop moment at save function, it makes me sure I've saved it.

I tried many save times with many reloads (back and forth) and no Problems around too.

Firefox 26.

Saved and loaded. Seemed to work just fine. (Firefox) I've noticed HUGE pauses in my own games when saving and loading. It just depends on how much info you're doing. It usually only happens on the first save, though.

Please, though, the size of this thing is enormous! Haha... I couldn't fit it on my screen

Oh yeah? Crap, I'll reduce it some, haha thanks. :P

All works perfectly at least in chrome saving and loading too. The only problem I noticed is that when the character jumps and crash with a plataform it doesnt does the jump animation correctly.
Apart from that I would say its perfectly fine. :)

Thank you very much!

If I hit F11 to remove all the outer edges in firefox, it's a few pixels outside of the screen. Must be, like 770 or something tall? I'm not sure how many people still have 1024x768, but it used to be pretty standard. I guess I'm not sure, though. Screen size is all non-standard these days.

Yeah, I've long since given up on trying to predict screen sizes/shapes/uh.. weights...>_>

cant wait to play another one of your games even if its a type of demo
so far the game looks a bit good right now. Full version I think will be great

Thank you so much! :D

Jumping feels off. First off it's too light, second off it falls just short of getting onto the next platform - he jumps one square above which, unless you're programming Spelunky, is kind of frustrating.

i used chrome and the save/load worked fine. didnt encounter a single issue what so ever. movement seemed good, but the jumping was a tad tricky with timing (maybe thats just me) looks cool :)

Thanks for the feedback! ^_^
