So Xfactor21, you're the DX god, ok . I've found this DirectX 9 and Pixel Shader 2.0 demo of a platformer you might want to check it out. It's from an application (work in progress) that, hopefully, will be out soon and with it, it will be easy to create platform and other games. Though it's short, I've found it interesting just to see and I would like you to comment on it and compare it to your wip. I.e. how it stands on graphics, effects and scrolling. Is it better or nothing in common? www.scirra.com/ go to demonstrations and download the platformer demo.

Hey Ivn4n. It looks pretty d**n good. Well there is certain similarities, but we are definitely not aiming for the same stuff. All i can say is we have effects in our editor that will blow your mind away. Also the editor is just not aimed at pk3 it is aim at adventure game in general. So to sum it up, this editor will be used for other platformer game,not just pk3. ;)Very soon we will have a demo level ready,along with screenshot. Based on those i will let you decide PS: Janne is doing a INSANELY GOOD JOB on the new character design for pk3 including the new version of pekka

Good to hear that. So you're actually working on two projects, not just one . I'm looking forward for screenshots. And the demo . Talking about character design, I would like to know if any of you is using pen tablet for graphics. I'm asking this because I'm interested in buying wacom bamboo pen tablet. I'll use it mainly for pixel art, picture working and some drawing. If you've got experience with it or with other pen tablets I would be happy to know is it worth it.

I am actually currently working on pk3 only. It is just that what i was trying to say is that. Pk3 is being totally design and getting done withing the editor itself. Just some Ai stuff are getting coded directly. So the good thing about that is you do not have to make a pk3 episode. You can actually create your own adventure game withing the editor. So to sum it up, it is just not a game editor,but a platformer game maker with next gen features. And making pk3 in it will be a way to show how the whole things works together. That is what i meant when i say that the editor is not only aimed at pk3 only. Regarding the tablet, i do not know much about it. But i bet janne would be better suited at answerring that question.

Yay! So you mean that the editor will be so powerful that we'll be able to make our own jump'n'run games? That's actually so cool!
I've noticed that you use the word "adventure" many times instead of platformer or side-scroller etc. By "adventure" I understand a whole genre, with games like Sam & Max, Monkey Island or King's Quest rather than a jump'n'run game. Did you mean that making a whole new game with your editor will be a whole new adventure or that the editor will be able to make adventure and/or other genres too?

I am always getting the the two mixed up. I mean jump and run. And yes you will be able to make your own jump and run into the editor and if you master it, who knows you might even be able to make games similar to castlevania with it The editor does not used predefined images, once we release we will do the same thing we did for pk2 and release all the assets so others can make their own episode for the game. But at the same time, you can load all customs assets that you design yourself and design your own map for your own game. Also Collision for both flat surface and slope is build in.

I've been thinking about buying a Wacom tablet for some time, but I'm pretty accustomed to use mouse for drawing. Pen and tablet require some time to get used to, but can help a lot once you master them.
