planning to make a few smaller games some of which would be created in tyranobuilder software. This is a tool that is designed to make Visual Novel type games. However similar to Jailbreak, I don’t just want some picture book. there needs to be some interaction besides clicking buttons to move to the next dialogue part. So wanted to have some classic top down stuff as seen below in the pics. I required that I learn some javascript to control a html5 canvas so I have been teaching myself that stuff for the past few days or so. I’d probably be further along if not for the art edits. but here I am. Below is a demo and pics of it in action.
One thing to note also is that the game doesn’t share saves with DoE, The Rookie, and Jailbreak. The shared saves is probably a bug so at some point i will try to get those games system files updated to the latest version and re-upload them.
the game can be tested here. it should work on both mobile and browser. the button click detect area might vary a bit but in final I think I will have wasd and arrows keys to move if you not on mobile. but we’ll see.

Just played it on my phone, but Maiko’s sprite details were bare. Like some kind of naked hairless doll.
From the pictures posted it is very cute looking. Will there be customized sprites of other characters as well? ?
whoops try it now. yeah it would change to reflect different characters.
Yep, all fixed!
As a fan of old RPG sprite games, I’m really looking forward to the games you can make using this. ?
The Maiko Sprite on this Post looks really cute! I love RPGs! A RPG with Umichan characters would be awesome…! This could be used for something really cute! Looking forward to seeing more Projects with Sprites like this one…!
glad you like it, should be fun~
Long time no see, yeah I’m kind off back. I tried the demo works for Windows Edge/Internet Explorer, Android. It doesn’t run correct on Google Chrome. It gets a naked doll with no eyes, face and hair.
She made it! I wonder what is it she is trying to avoid while walking north? LOL
Joe2k! Nice to see you back on the site
I tried this is Chrome and it seemed to be ok. What issues did you have?
Yeah I’ll have to get creative with how I want to use this. North just a example for now showing it return back to VN style dialogue heh.
Well now the model is running right, don’t know if you fix it a little or the code fix itself over time.
And yeah I’m kind of back, responsibility sucks, makes me wise I can turn back time be a fucking teen again. LOL
Yeah you get to do whatever you want as a adult, but responsibility for yourself doesn’t give you enough free time like anyone use to. Anyways back to the VN topic, it’s impressive to see a VN that have the character walk up and down. Now what to use this on, I have no idea. A detective game? Mystery game/adventure? But than that type a game might might get boring for your users. VN came a long way in what you can do with it. Hell I bet a big RPG turn base can be done in VN.
Yeah I don’t have any responsibility yet heh. I can do probably all of those eventually but probably start with using it with adventure type stuff.
Cool, I loved these games before. It’s like nostalgia with a bit of sexy thrown in.
Should be fun
personally i found this to be…janky with the controls on my keyboard
also where you seem to be trying out some game engines have you looked at https://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/studio2 it’s the new one and it’s in beta for the moment but it may be a bit better for you
and if you have or want to try the older one https://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/features then there is a tutorial that i can recommend for top down games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB2alpO62GM&list=PL9FzW-m48fn2ug_FSNnfozQs3qYlBNyTd
(note)these are game engines that do cost money but if you watch humble bundle they tend to go on sale in the game dev bundles along with the addons for like html5 ios and android definitely keep an eye on that personally i have both and i like them
Thanks but can’t use any of that. It needs to be able to both work with tyranobuilder and be able to export to android and html5. The only solution is javascript. I’ve already done the homework. Not sure why you find it janky with keyboard controls. it seems like if anything it would be from the on screen buttons. Also If want a separate html5 gamemaker tool with html5 export I have contruct2 for that already.
It appears that pressing any button on the keyboard activates the animation, but only WASD actually moves the character.
Thanks, yep. it was on purpose but I forgot why at this point. I can fix it. and maybe figure out whatever the problem was that i had originally.
