Ah, well then, good to know. Looking forward to it. I have another idea.. SMBX does not allow for any customization of the status area at the top of the screen during play. You're always stuck with that super mario world look to it. It would be awesome to at least be able to change the graphics used...

See but i never heard of Solarus.. and if i had, i had no idea what it was.. the name does not make me want to investigate it and learn more about it. (Zelda Classic does cause Zelda is right in the title.. by the way, Zelda Classic let's you make top down Zelda like games.) In fact it sounds like s...

Yeah but that makes it sound more like it is more all inclusive, as if to say it lets you make more than platform games.
Leaving the word platformer in the name at least in some form would at least keep it clear as to what the software is just by saying it's name.

True, but that is SMBX though, and i would hope this software would improve on such things.
I mean, i know how to use masks, it's just a pain..
But that's why i suggested a tile set in another thread for some things.
It would make it at least some what easier to manage.

Why not something shorter and more simple?
Like Platformer Maker, or Platformer Creator, or Platformer Toolkit.
Something short and easy to pronounce.

The fact that this even uses masks drives me up the wall.
It becomes rather frustrating after awhile.
Especially since every graphic get's done separately rather than part of a tile set of sorts or something.

I think, i'd like to see tiles work more like they do in RPG Maker. Rather then doing each tile individually, and having to use some sort of black and white tile to dictate what is seen. It can all be part of a tileset maybe, or at least group more tiles together, like for ground graphics. Point is,...

Hello. I'm new here. Found out about this place after reading a thread on the SMBX forums. I'm very much looking forward to this when it is done. I have always wanted to see a game making software with a focus on platformers, and i think this is awesome! I have talents in pixel art if needed. Really...
