Alright, I finally tried it!
I think it is a great design to start off with, but I'll need to make some edits to make it have inhabitants and different design. It feels kinda empty.
Sorry, I have not >.<
I will make sure to though, I think I have a few bugs in my script which isn't allowing me to run it properly, but I will try to get everything fixed, sorry.
No one else knows how to implement your idea with the Mimiga mask. So unless you have any more suggestions about how we can do 2 player then I am going to pronounce 2 player dead...
I have done the demo so far. Just a few things to mention:
1- Have a note on the bookshelf giving a clue about how to get to the hermit.
2- Getting the items you want is kinda hard.... Maybe just have chests and open them when you want.
3- When I went to pick the fireball nothing happened. Do we have to do some kind of code? I would tend to put things in chests rather than signs because that is what is done in cave story.
4- Make sure you don't have the intro occur every time you enter. Why don't you put this as a note on the bookshelf.
Apart from that I think it is very cool!!! Nice job
