-- i could do the same using go west. so here
-- it is, the very first mod of go_west.
-- go west propose edition
-- enjoy !
-- (and please, say yes !!)
-- I'll let you guys know if she says yes ;)
UPDATE: She said yes ! :D :D
This is a great WIP RPG. I love the topdown mode that goes into side scrolling mode, just like Zelda II on the NES (my first NES game). And the quirky jokes.
I was a bit disappointed nothing happened when I reached the isle... I guess I have to wait for the final version. :)
Hey thanks for taking the time to play my game and comment ! Yeah, there is about 2/3 of the story left to do. Spoiler: You'll have to find some boots somewhere.
I will also have to figure out how sounds work before version 1 and maybe add a basic fight system for version 2.
Thanks again and stay tuned !
I also had the Zelda II feeling. I have to say i didn't played Zelda II much b/c i didn't like it that much but i had fun playing this game :)
I'm eager to play the rest of the game/story.
Thanks for commenting Kozie ! I plan on finishing the game before the end of next week.
Thanks again for playing my game !
At the risk of sounding like a sheep, Zelda 2 is what came to mind when you go to the side scrolling view :) Looking really cool, I hope you keep working on it!
Thanks Radcore for the comment :)
UPDATE: 3/4 of the story now completed.
Still have to learn how sound/music works before release :/
CART UPDATED TO v07.
The story have been completed :)
Let me know what you think.
I'll add sound soon.
Enjoy
CART UPDATED v08.
Added sound effects !
The game is completed :D
Let me know what you think
Enjoy !
I liked it! I guess I finished it. It's like Atari Adventure and Zelda had a baby. I love the gameplay and only wish the game was longer because I want to play it more.
@greentiger: Thanks for playing and commenting ! Make sure you talk to characters before and after they give you items for more quirky dialogs.
CART UPDATED v09.
small update to correct endgame skipping bug and waterfall volume
CART UPDATED Pro_Ed
I created the very first mod of Go West: Go West Propose Edition !
UPDATE: She said yes !! :D :D
CART UPDATED v10.
corrected wait() function and I made the paths larger between map sections
Hooray! It's the first RPG that I've managed to finish in my entire life :-)
Great game BTW. It seems like you mashed Zelda, Zelda II and Metroid in a single, fun experience.
@Cesco thank you for taking time to play the game and comment ! Make sure you also try the "Propose Edition" !
Hey, that's one of my houses! Looks good in there with the green grass and blue sky! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I've always been a sucker for the top-down / side scroller mashups like Zelda II.
Good work!
@Parlor ! Yes indeed :) I copied your awesome house design, and more, (pixel by pixel) from your game Stroll (as mentioned in the header section of the code) :)
I like to code and experiment with pico-8 but I am in no way a competent graphic designer. It's great that Pico-8 let you "steal" awesome graphics assets from other games (with mentions of course). So thanks for your great help with my humble little game !
