Mads: Thank you! its really quite simple, so simple that I wouldn't call it 2.5D more 2.25D. Basically, the scale of the object draw depends on its distance to the player, and the x position on the screen depends on the objects angle to the player.

Tim spekler: Thank you for your feedback! To be honest, I was thinking the same, also the GUI doesn't look "scary" enough, I think i'll change to colour scheme.

Ultroman: hmmmm, very strange, I'll shall definitely look into it.

Thanks all for playing!

Beta is up!!

Enjoy!

Thank you
update up soon

Anyone who uses this website a lot, should I release Ghost Forest 'beta' as a new post, or should I just edit this one??

Mads: Thank you for the stackoverflow post!
Sound still works for me, when I do a new release the new sounds should work.

Good news people!!!!
Game takes up way less memory and loads in seconds!
Ultroman was right, it's because I wasn't reusing textures.

teletubo: thanks for the information I did not realise this was the case.

New release will be out soon, maybe tonight

Hmmmm, I've never seen that error message before, something to do with the sound, either your soundcard, or my coding

Yeah, I think that's the issue, I'm working on it now
Also, the new graphics are AWESOME!!

Hmmm, this is a big issue
At the moment, the game takes up around 650mb of RAM.

Hmmm, really??? Well that is definitely enough!
Maybe you should try changing the RAM available for java.

Here's how:

Shooting bug fixed

Not killed as easily

Wow, thanks for the amazing feedback!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I will most definitely be taking your feedback on board.
I already knew about the bullet bug, and I will fix it promptly!
Also, the .bat file is just there in case the .jar doesn't work.

Finally once the graphics have been updated, there will be more than just a bunch of scares! Mwahahaha!

Anyways, thank you so much for playing, and keep an eye out for GhostForest (temporary name) Beta 

Jimmt: This is because you do not have enough RAM available, which is not your fault, the game is a RAM-guzzler at the moment, and this definitely needs fixing. Thanks for testing anyway

If you had sound on loud, you do get booed!
And no, you were right the first time, it is a bug.

Oh dear!! How embarrassing! 

I will definitely do all of these things, but firstly, how do I upload a screenshot???

Hahaha! I know, messiest code ever!

Really
I'll take a look and fix the bug.
maybe the topic title should have been stage dive hero beta

First proper game I've ever done in java, even if it is only a mini game.

Used Slick2D and LWJGL, and paint.net for graphics.

Hope you enjoy!!
