This is looking like it's going to be a huge visual improvement from it's predecessor as well. Good job! You're progressing fast.

Looks great! I'm having a great time with the first one! You will probably be done making this one before I can finish #1

I must be a masochist for suggesting this, but you should make them disappearing as well.

Whahahaha... Sivak should named it the Masochist Kid in the first place... LOL

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that idea!

You know...  I actually pondered this as it would not necessarily be hard to make.  Conveyor belts too.

It'll depend though.  I haven't started the enemies yet.

Conveyor belts sounds like a cool idea

Well, the most important part of the game now works!

  Just need to do all the animation of it, but whatever.

Looking nice man!

Disappearing conveyor belts?

Are those tiles on the far left an entrance flag to a save/continue room?

If so, I love the addition.

This is making me want to get into ASM for NES programming. Again. Meaning, I've never touched ASM, but BK1 made me want to try. Then I got over it. This is making me want to try again. My problem is I don't want to go through the hassle of learning non-game-related ASM, I justwant to jump right in ro making a crappy first game.

Progress is coming along nicely. I'm enjoying watching it develop.

Yeah.  I'm gonna have those mini nonagram icons outside of save rooms.  I hope they look OK.  I had to mod a design Gimmick made.   I might use white instead of grey on them.

Definitely.  Anything to make them "pop" just a little bit more would look really sharp.

I've reached the point of wanting to put enemies into the game. Once I get those and the attack in play, then all the general things will be complete.

I come with a question though... How bad do you think it is to reuse some enemies from the first game? I won't reuse EVERYTHING of course, but just figured I'd ask on this.

I think the game is already looking like Super Mario 2 Japan. I would like to see as many new enemies as possible. A retro area would be cool though. The whole area built to resemble BK 1

I think reuse is fine. One of the best things about the Mario games is that the Koopas, Goombas, and fire flowers always make an appearance.

*edit
I should also mention, that I'd love to see progress videos of the different stages of developement . Just one more thing to get me excited for!

The key with their reuse, though, is that they always update the graphics for those things.

Look to the Mario games and Mega Mans for your answer here.  Enemies are very often reused in Mario games, but in different ways.  They reused Goombas in 3 and added wings to them, for example.  The hard hat enemies are in every Mega Man games, but always act a little differently.  Same with Sniper Joes. 

Reuse enemies, just don't reuse code.  Try to oudo yourself, not just... do yourself again hahaha... I think you know what I mean.

There may be some new varirations of familiar foes this time arround. Some pretty interesting ideas are being discussed so far.

Do whatever you can to make Gimmick work more.

Our brave hero can attack now.  Yay.



Just need to get him targets to attack  and we'll be set, methinks.

Man this thing is going to be done before I beat the first one... I better get to doing that

After enemies start appearing, I'll be struggling to determine what the game's first boss is gonna be.

it'll be awesome to see timmy with upgrades like in the megaman x series..I can't wait for this game to be released.
