Hi. My name is Bob though some call me Bdubbs or Tripps. I am an aspiring game maker albeit a very novice one. For many years now I have been trying to create an action RPG platform game in the veins of Castlevania, Zelda II, Battle of Olympus, Prince of Persia exetree exetree.
Having recently played Simon Goes to Atlantis I was excited. This game has the character movement I am looking to implement in my game. Namely a fixed jump arc with momentum, a weapon hit box that has the same movement properties as the attack animation object and the stair mechanic. Is there a version of the game that has the source code. I would like to make my character movement follow this model as it is NES authentic. I have emailed the author but is there any other steps I could take?
