Listen: to all of you flamers, good job; honesty, but I say 'go to hell' for trying to DESTROY someone else's project. EX is copying the engine for his learning purposes, and for, might I remind you, your entertainment. It's not being marketed as Iji, and I'm damn well sure that the level design will not even be near Iji! It's like telling someone to gfy if they try to make a Pac-Man clone. Just stop. I, myself, am not carbon-copying Final Fantasy X-2, now am I? No. Ridiculous.
Does it look like a rip-off? The whole purpose of this exercise was to see how well I could imitate Iji's trailer using footage from my own game, so if it looks like a direct rip-off, I guess I did my job well. Don't worry though, I'm only using the Iji sprites as placeholders until I get my own sprites in the game.
It's actually pretty common to learn a skill by imitating what you see the masters doing, or learn how to create something by re-creating something else. This is a very early build of the game, so I hope you don't judge it too harshly by its current appearance.
As do I. I'd be too ashamed to release it if it was no different from Iji; although the original purpose of this game was to be an exercise and help me learn how to write code, now it's developed into an endeavor to make an original game. And in order to be original, it will have to stand apart from Iji. Although it will be derivative in terms of gameplay elements, I have a lot of things planned to make the game stand apart from its spritual sister.
It does look pretty cool but mabye make a sequel story to iji because we know the orginal iji maker isnt going to make it

You'd have gotten much better rating/comments had you done something more original. But good job. It looks like a lot of hard work.

I take it this is in a different story universe than Iji?

why does shayda jump so low in the beginning?
mariolinkwii 2 years ago
Nice catch! Nobody else has pointed that out yet.
There is a jump upgrade that lets you jump higher. In the scenes where Shayda jumps low, she has not yet acquired the jump upgrade.

Not bad... not bad at all =]
I agree with you, I also think that imitation is the best way for beginners to learn.
And just to let you know, (and this is coming from ME, leader of all things pickey in coding.) you have officially passed the "noob" barrier =P

There isn't much point in using another game as a step stool as your own, especially when your own looks like just a worse version of the first.

I just hope that the final version of it doesn't still look like a ripoff of Iji.
