Betaman

Okay so I did this basic loop a while back, but I feel like it's missing something. Maybe add some boards or supports to the poles?

Well at this point, if you haven't registered, you'll have to wait until the next one. We've expanded to art and music booths rather than games in this recent year, so you don't HAVE to make a game, it's just that the meat of the event is in the games.

The Sonic Amateur Games Expo is upon us, and the registration date deadline was two days ago. The staff have sent out booth page information to the participants, and people are getting super busy working on their games for the event. I'd say that would be why people aren't posting as much.

Working on the tiles for the Amethyst Palace area in Epsilon. Not Pictured: The slope tiles (They're not finished yet.), and the half-pipe tiles (Also not finished yet.) Will hopefully post the finished tiles to the forest area and city area soon.

The Beta in my name comes from the fact that I enjoy researching unused and dummied out content from earlier versions of video games, sided up with my overwhelming desire to be second best at everything I do. (Beta is the second character in the greek alphabet.) ICome to think of it, my old common username was BLEAH (It is pronounced by making a gagging noise and a scream of pain at the same time.), which also started with B. The man part of the username comes from the fact that it sounded weird with just "Beta", and I figured that most sites would already have a member named Beta. Funnily enough, there's actually more to my name that that. My full name is *Insert Adjective Here* Betaman. The unused part comes from an inside joke with friends on how I'd refer to myself in third person and use a different adjective to describe myself. It's unused because it's way too freaking long, but if I can't get just Betaman, I'll put IAH-Betaman as a sort of reference to the full thing.

Ah yes, you're seeing the WIP tiles for one of the three zones I have planned for the demo. I like them too, but I want to expand them to give a little more variety to what you see. Currently those are pretty much what all the buildings look like.

Alrighty, now I need to work on some tiles. (I trashed the originals due to being very rough and unpleasant to look at.) I have four sets of sand tiles for the start of the zone that takes place on the beach. Which one do you think looks better? Keep in mind that this beach section is relatively short, and you won't be seeing the tiles most of the time. EDIT: Got the bee working in the engine, but the platform can't be used when it's killed. I'll work on making a platform that falls and can be stood on later.

Well I mean it's not that big a deal. I can do both options since I'm doing difficulty settings. I can make it so that you go through the enemy on easy, the enemy just sorta chills and doesn't do much on normal, and on hard, it's a full on badnik. However, I'll test how it all works later on. (I get the feeling that the programming will need to be slightly more complicated than a normal badnik.

Hmm. Well your newest title looks to be a combination of your previous two attempts. It still looks a little wonky, though your second logo looked fine. All that it really needed was a few color changes and a bit of change to the AFTERMATH text. Something like this: This is just a suggestion of something you could do, and my example is undeniably flawed. If you want to use your latest title screen, use it.
