I am sure people have seen my Boulder Dash on the VDC, my aborted attempt ant Spy Hunter too. Well I wanted to do an original game more suited to the talents of the 128 and VDC, I decided on an isometric game similar to Alien-8. Sadly, I can't draw. I have all the artistic talent of a cluster of colourblind hedgehogs... in a bag. So I am asking if anybody has existing mono tiles I can use. I can't use colour (VDC limits) but will have a nice 640x200 screen to play with using a 16x16 pixel tile set (4 characters per). I intend to make a software sprite for the main character. The idea is a Star Wars themed game where you play a Gonk droid. Simple to draw anyway I will simply call the game Gonk. So, if anybody has talent and wants to contribute to this project (no recompense other than a feeling of good will!) please get in touch. I plan to publish all work produced for free to the community (not the source though, I am too messy for that).

Nomad might work too At least I wouldn't have to animate walking feet then.

I now have a large map with tile scrolling and a basic player "sprite" (more on that later) that can walk around the map. He currently only moves in whole tiles but I am hoping to get him moving a bit smoother if I can to make things look nicer. s5.postimg.org/cmue5uk6v/2016_06_25.png

Isometric testCan somebody test this on real hardware and tell me if the graphics are corrupted or not? Not sure if it's my 128 or my code that is bad.
