Source Engine Shenanigans

The other day I had an interesting idea for a 3D puzzle game. I had been trying to think of a cool game idea for a couple days and then my friend suggested something related to mirrors. I thought about, and knew there were many games like this already, but there was not one that did it well. I also thought that mirrors were a cool idea, and I tried to think about how I could incorporate mirrors into my own, original, high-quality puzzle game and after a few days of thinking, I think I came up with a good, original gameplay mechanic. I don't want to reveal the details of my idea just yet, but I want to develop my game in the Source engine.

It will be a Link to the Past style RPG, pixelated graphics, top-down gameplay, quests, simple dialog, magical items, swords, etc., so I need to program these types of things into the game. In order to do this, I need to finish the objects system, the new entity system. This system will allow me to put...

New Character Sprites

My awesome friend Jake made better isometric player sprites for me. They were kinda generic, so I put the face of the old sprite onto the new sprite and here is what I think will be in the final game. Now that I have these, I can start work on coding again!
