The Talisman Engine
Screen Shots
Info
This is the Talisman Platform engine, made with 100% custom sprites and the code is 97% original (It was based on the Foxengine, huge credit to Fox-NL). This engine features most of the moves found in the PoP Sands of Time Trilogy along with some new additions and stuff I thought would be fun. Following is a list of features, bugs, credits and planned additions. Any help would be appreciated. When it is finished I plan on remaking the full SoT Trilogy with it as seen on their pages. (so if you have anything minor you would want changed then feel free to post on the forum, although I won't make any drastic changes to the storyline). The combat is based on WW/T2T's Free form fighting system.
Features
- Basic and advanced movement (Standing, crouching, running, jumping, wall jumping, climbing, hanging, swinging, wall jumping and more)
