Any game developed with E02 will run on any supported system (assuming the spec of the lowest-supported system has been considered), which currently include: DOS, Windows, Linux, Intel/PowerPC MacOSX, PSP (Custom Firmware), Wii (Homebrew Channel), and GP2X Wiz For more information, check out the official site: http://stealth.hapisan.com/E02 Games currently in-development for E02 include: Megaman: Triple Threat - http://stealth.hapisan.com/MMTT Sonic the Hedgehog: Project Mettrix - http://stealth.hapisan.com/Mettrix Currently-Available game templates include: Generic Template - Just enough to be able to put something on the screen and fiddle with it Sonic the Hedgehog Template - Made from the same scripts and data as Project Mettrix; demonstrates basic Sonic 3 gameplay for Sonic and provides a basis on which new levels, enemies, items, and abilities can be added (At present, this large template has not been updated to use the Alias system introduced in E02 v11.08.11. This update is in progress, and will be released when it is complete) http://stealth.hapisan.com/E02/#Templates For discussion and support, visit the Forum: http://stealth.hapisan.com/Forum Or the official IRC channel: Server- irc.badnik.net Channel- #OC The following resources are also available for instant update notification: http://www.twitter.com/E02Stealth http://www.youtube.com/OCStealth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Could we see a Megaman template as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Could we see a Megaman template as well? I had planned for one at the same time as the Sonic template, but converting, cleaning up, and commenting large numbers of massive scripts that date back to 2003 is so time-consuming that I couldn't justify putting off other issues once the Sonic one was finished. As it is, I still need to go back over the entire set to covert all the Command and Variable IDs to Aliases so it's more usable The existing Megaman scripts are extremely ugly and not at all suitable for anyone who doesn't have much experience with E02 and wasn't involved in creating them in the first place. I would not only have to convert, clean, and comment every existing file, but also make an entirely new "game" of them, since I won't be using any Triple Threat content, which means creating a new level and more new event and menu coding, at the very least. It's not impossible, but I can't make any guarantees about when I can put that kind of time into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've been wanting to give this a shot since I played the Wii demo. I'll have to spend some time with this once I've finished my level collab contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
