Thanks for giving the demo a try! Your feedback is also very appreciated.

Thanks for watching the devlog and trying the game out!

Hi and thanks for the feedback! This is very helpful.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the gameplay. Thanks for the feedback!

I would really appreciate footage of the issue if you have the time (an unlisted or public youtube video will do the trick or some other video uploading service you find more convenient). I can't seem to replicate this bug at all despite moving the mouse very fast. Does the cursor eventually reconnect or does the game become unplayable?

Thanks for playing and the feedback!

I'm impressed that you were able to beat the enemy on a touchscreen device as I didn't design the game to account for this form factor at all.

As for the difficulty, my plan is to design all enemy battles to be challenging at the LV1 experience. However, the level up system not included in this demo is there to allow the player to make the game easier for oneself as they win battles and use the experience currency to level up their attack power or hp.

Regarding the fake-cursor / true-cursor disconnect, would you mind telling me what were the conditions that lead to it occurring on your side. I can't seem to be able to replicate it on my end. Also, does it happen when you play the game in full screen?

I didn't design the game to be playable on mobile. Must not be a nice experience.
Curious to know how did you find the gameplay? Do you have the possibility to try with a mouse or trackpad?

Thanks for the feedback! This is very helpful.

Thanks for the feedback Zizaco!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!

All right it works now but I had to use another website for converting the zip into iso. I also had to create a zip by selecting the files directly rather than zip the folder which contained the files.

Thanks for the help!

Is there a discord server or a community for making PS2 games using Athena?

Hi, I'm not sure I understand.

The folder "Your Project" has the following files : ATHENA.ELF,  MAIN.JS and SYSTEM.CNF.

There is no ATHENA.INI file.

What should I zip?

What I did was compress the "Your Projects" folder into a zip and then uploaded the zip to the site. Isn't this what you're supposed to do? Did I miss something?

The iso you provided works but when I try making my own iso using the files in "Your Projects", the first link doesn't work. As for the second, it does generate an iso file but when I open it up in the emulator, I get the default ps2 menu and it seems unable to detect the game?

Do you know how I can fix this? Btw where did you get the more recent version of athena (the v4) is it available on GitHub?

PS2 gamedev in JavaScript is interesting. I wonder, is 3D possible or is this mainly for 2D?

I wonder is it possible to convert an .elf + related files to an .iso so that the game can be played from only one file?

Wow that's impressive. Didn't know you could make PS2 games in JavaScript!

Btw congrats on appearing in a GMTK video : https://youtu.be/kG3LWpuiLqg?feature=shared&t=604

Thanks for sharing!

Do you implement collision detection yourself or you use a physics system like Matter or Planck?

Great game! I would like to know which game engine/library/framework you used to make this?

Not at the moment but maybe!

Nice! Wondering which retro shooter gun you used, I'm curious.

Thanks!

That's because I haven't implemented the rest.

Hi! I used this free asset pack to create a YouTube gamedev tutorial when it was free. However, the pricing suddenly changed after my tutorial was published.

Would it be possible to set this asset pack back to being free and instead add another paid tier with the extra stuff you recently added?

Thanks!

Thanks! You art is great as well :)

Hmm that's strange. I don't have this issue on my side. Can you try on a different browser/device?

Great job!

Thanks :)

No problem! Go right ahead :)

Hi! I made a game with your assets! If you want to check it out : https://jslegend.itch.io/mario-like-in-javascript
