That's caused by the fact that I haven't fully completed the movement code.


Update: The demo will be unavailable for a while because for some reason AWS is charging me for running their "free" virtual instance.

Hey guys. Great news. Today I finally decided to start rewriting the game from scratch, now using the latest version of Phaser and JavaScript. I was running into issues previously that caused the development to come to a hault, and took some time to decide whether I should fix it or simply restart. Fortunately, I chose to restart from scratch. Using the new Phaser 3 framework will allow me to add features that were not possibly in Phaser 2, for example, one I have already added is a camera zoom with the mouse wheel. This is only a few hours of progress and will take quite a few more to add in the previous features and multiplayer again, however, hopefully a lot of it I can just rip from the previous project. Here are screenshots showcasing the zoom feature. I also have finished map loading, player movement and camera following, and player animations.

Zoomed out all the way:

This one's for the boys



Auto re-sizing/scaling of game and UI

Inventory finished, starting on server now.

Will be keeping an eye on this like the sound of it
