Fine, the video’s gone, so the reply is too. I don’t care to belabor it.
Well it sure has been a while before I last made a proper screenshot/video update. I’ve been doing some work on the ‘unseeable’ side of this, and I’ve basically made the code a lot more easier for myself to work with.
So here’s a screenshot of parallax, it’s a new feature in a scene and you can define multiple parallaxes (parallii?!). I’ve also uploaded a video but it shows basically the same thing. I’m not going to release v0.8 YET, and perhaps I’ll just keep showing progress until ‘alpha’ is ready. Depends on what you guys think and want
My guess would have been parallices (matrix=matrices, vertex=vertices, etc.), but a quick google tells me you were right the first time (parallaxes).
Also, a still image doesn’t show parallax scrolling.
You really need an animated screenshot (GIF) or a video to demonstrate.
Good point, well here’s the video on Parallaxes I uploaded. It was just a quick and rough one, the parallax code had changed a bit since then, but here’s the rough idea:

I’ve had a play around already. I’d like to test out the parallax!
When’s the next version out?
Well I’m working on a GUI editor for Alpha (so that you can create scenes in a user-friendly fashion) at the moment and there won’t be any more visual features to Alpha for now, at least not as often. The next version will be out as soon as the scene maker is ready, so… it’ll take some time.
Stay tuned for updates on the website: http://animatoralpha.tk/
And I’ve setup a small forum for questions, bugs etc.: http://forums.animatoralpha.tk/
Maybe you should have a website where people can post their animations. Like a youtube but specifically for Alpha. there was an awesome website like that a few years back. it was called Animasher if anyone still remembers. :emo: :’(
That could be a possibility, right now you can submit animations under a forum category on the Alpha forums. I’m not expecting any animations yet since it is still extremely early in development and everything is poorly documented
It has been a few days and I’ve been turning my attention to a Scene Maker program that will be distributed alongside with Alpha to ease the creation of animations. With it, you’ll no longer have to edit XML files and write custom SCP codes.

Below is a YouTube update video on how it all works:

Feedbacks appreciated,
Thanks.
Getting very excited about this…
Can’t wait for it to be fully functioning, and a fully fledged editor!
Keep up the great job
Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been hard at work on the scene module for Scene Maker Beta. Most of the features in the scene editor are complete, with this video to show it off:

3 months has passed since the project started, I’m still busy working on the Scene Maker part of the animator. Currently I have just finished the entity module, which makes 3 module complete (tileset, scene and entity).
The scene is working fine in Alpha, and there’s an update video on the bottom of this post.
Another screenshot to show the entity module, here I customize the movement animation of riolu walking down.
And the last one, showing how users select the right frame size for their entities:
This is it for now. If you want to see an update video of me going over some stuff, then here’s the video:

Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I have last made an update on Alpha, I’ve been busy with school exams and studies and yadda yadda. I am submitting this project soon, and I’d like some feedback on existing work so far.
You can download the project here: http://animatoralpha.tk/
Please post any bugs & problems (I will include a guide later, but just have a play around for now. Remember the dialog module in Beta is still a WIP!)
Thanks!
