Tile Based Adventure!

What is it?

First off what is Tile Based Adventure? Well it's my little game project for a huge tile based world to explore! It will be a 2D side scrolling style game. My goal is to progress a little each day and post daily updates to this blog.

What goals are there?

• Infinite worlds (well technically not, but you could never reach the end in a normal game session)
• Smooth, seem-less loading of worlds
• Smooth camera motion with zooming
• SPH based fluids!
• Will use Spine as primary object animation system
• Sloped surfaces
• Semi-realistic tile physics (you won't be able to build sky bridges like in Terraria)
• Game is supposed to be really fun, not about mining to get materials, although you will have to find materials by mining, just the actual mining won't be a chore

Current facts-

• Use either 8x8 or 16x16 tiles (haven't decided yet)
• Each tile will represent 1 ft in game so human player will be ~6 tiles tall or 48 or 96 pixels tall depending on which tile size I choose
• Written in C# using Xna for rendering (will switch to Monogame someday)
• ~2200 lines of code so far (day one)
