First small Java Game

[Majek]

Hello,
so I just registered and thought I'd share what I have been working on for the past weeks.
I started coding about 1.5 years ago, so I'm still learning a lot.
I used Java2d and wanted to make a small action-adventure with a viking, but with some tools to actually build the levels.
Here it is, please let me know what you think:

Btw, the transitions between the rooms are fluid on my pc and macbook, I guess my crappy recording-software doesn't like fast movement.

I see nothing but an empty green screen.

That's strange, for me it works. Maybe there's a problem because I just uploaded the video...?

The video works for me. That's some really impressive work for only 1.5 years! Great job and keep it up!

hmm, that mode where you only show the boxes is actually a neat idea; I tend to just render them around the sprite/bob in a debug fashion to know if my calculations aren't screwing up, but to have it as an actual feature is not a bad idea at all.

Great job indeed.

It looks great! I think that you just need to prettify the levels. They have great graphics, but it is kind of hard to see what is going on and what-not.

Thanks!
Right now I'm working on the editor-part, but later on, my plan
is to make "real" Levels with Textures and not just looped grass etc.
There's also an option to save the level to an xml-File, which can then
be loaded, so in theory levels could be exchangeable.

That adds a LOT of lasting appeal!

It looks really nice. Congratulations, you have done a good job there.

Awesome indeed! Everytime I try to start with a serious project I end up redoing the whole thing or I abandon it completely... stupid perfectionism :/

Hope to see more soon
