Here is a teaser of my game made with Backbone:

It looks like it is coming along VERY well!!! Looking forward to more updates! :)

Looking good dude. If any advice would say get rid of or certainley make less loud the sound of the enemies walking. especially as you can hear them some time befofr they become visible
 
I like the way you made the dude dance to the music right at the end of the video :)
The music is so good, I made him dance to it :))

Yeah..I might remove the enemies' "walking sound" all together, it kinda ruins the background music.

My friend just created a Mummy for my next level, I will check it out how it looks. In the next level you will see steel bar doors, you will have to press space bar to enter it and see what's inside.

Some tiles you see in the video got changed little bit already for the better, like I said, the game is always evolving.

When ever i try and select a bitmap image i get an error saying "File is Not a Valid IFF Picture". all i did was try and add a bitmap image as described in the tutorial ?
I am using a sprite sheet with mario in different stances.
Maybe you can PM me your file and I can check it and fix it for you.

Speaking of Mario, I have some tiles for the first level and I was able to recreate the first level with ease with Backbone, but I lost it when deleting some other level.
Lesson one, don't delete middle levels, because you loose all levels you made after that level!!

Amiman99,

Feel free to use any of my tiles if you'd like. If you want them in a PSD format, for easy copy and paste, let me know. They're organized by group and each on their own layer.

The Block maker is for 16x16 or 32x32 tiles for levels, to make objects,like hero, enemy, collectables, you need to use the Image Editor in Backbone.

1. Make sure your tiles are 320x256
2. download and install PPaint on your Amiga, see links in 1st post.
3. Open your tile in PPaint, there might be some color reductions.
4. Save your tile as a 320x256 16 color iff, make sure you select IFF type on the right side of the requester.
5. Adjust your colors, you may have to swap your background and foreground colors so the background color is Black (0,0,0)
6. Save it again.
