The tilemap is at 6mhz. I am redrawing the frames every time the program loops but I draw only a 8*12 square where the character is. I'll try to see if I can implement partial screen updates.

partial screen updates might be challenging to pull off if you got such physics going on. I think it's possible, but challenging, since you need to ensure the missing line of blocks is drawn at the right location after shifting the screen around, so good luck. It would definitively improve speed a lot, though.

You can still redraw the full map every frame, i just think the method for drawing is a bit slow. Rather than draw each sprite individually and having to recalculate the address in the gbuf you can look into inlining the sprite routine into your tilemap so you don't have to recalculate the gbuf position for each sprite. Actually, i think giving the character a bit of acceleration (being able to move 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, etc. pixels per frame) would help quite a bit. I really like the smoothness of it all, though :D

By the way, do you use floating points for character movement? That could possibly cause slowdowns, unlike fixed points and integers.

You can't use floating points in Axe, what are you talking about ? >_> You can only really load them and store them. Unless he uses the axiom, but I doubt it.

I thought we could? O.O I guess I forgot about the Axiom.

Slight update: I added hanging on the wall until two blocks above the floor(you have to be against the wall and hold the arrows in that direction to hang). you can punch the enemy with holding mode but it doesn't do anything yet. There is a bug that the enemy collision detection bugs out at the top stair (it turns from 104 to 1034). The numbers are there for testing purposes.

Seems like you're progressing nicely! I'm excited to see how this turns out. Sadly I can't try it, because my 84+ link port is broken D:

I am now working on the health bar but as you can see in the gif, there is a exp that is currently linked up to when you kill an enemy. Exp will probably used in a skill tree but can anyone draw a better exp bar for me because I think my current version is to plain.

I'm impressed, is this really your first game? It's got really nice graphics and it looks pretty advanced so far. Keep it up! :D

I'm totally jealous of those 8x8 stickman sprites. Wish I had those when I was working on Continuity.

The character sprites are made by Deep Thought. They were meant for blast labs but it got discontinued so I decided to use those sprites. Also, how can you save 30 different character values into one appvar? Like {L2},{L2+1},etc... because I am now trying to implement saving into the game.

I am now using appvars to save the game, but should I save the player coordinates or not because every new thing I need to save is another thing that I need to archive which takes a while.

It depends. Are coordinates important enough to save that you want to spend the time? How much longer does saving coords take? It would seem nice, esp. if levels were very big.
