The NYPD Shaman

This is my entry for Ludum Dare 48 Compo!

In a secret backroom at NYPD HQ sits The Shaman.

The Shaman can seek out the most deceptive criminals in the city using the powers of the mind. He taps into criminals and shares their senses.

Drive the cop car (the red circle) around the map looking for the criminals. The Shaman will give you hints as to where they are, such as what they are near, and what directional they are travelling in etc.

Each time you get close to them, The Shaman gains a deeper knowledge of the surroundings. Get close 3 times to capture them.

Initially, The Shaman can help you track down criminals by hinting at what they can smell and hear. As the chase progresses and you close in, The Shaman will also give directional information, and then finally a vision of the surrounding map area to help you capture the criminals once and for all!

Controls: Arrows keys to drive the cop car, Z to cycle the intro screen, X to play.

And endless game made for Ludum Dare 48.

Using the colour black

Tue, 24 Apr 2018 15:49:55 UTC

Hi all,

I have recently started making a 2bit game that involves a lot of black outlining, and its dawned on me that in the sprite editor, anything coloured black isn't drawn and counts as an empty pixel..

Is there a way to change which colour counts as the "nothing" colour? Or alternatively, is there a way to underlay a sprite with a black silhouette etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Josh
