I created a simple playable demo using the Pixel Movement library. The library supports BYOND's isometric and three-quarter map modes, making it east to create environments where you can move in three dimensions. This is an under-utilized feature that I'm hoping to draw attention to. It's also for a game I'm working on - I'd like to see if anyone has performance issues with drawing all of the turfs, overlays, outlines, shadows, etc. at 40 fps.

The demo is an executable only, but there's hardly any code in it for using the Pixel Movement library. This is basically how it works out of the box.

What happened to Tiny Heroes?

I added another dimension >.>

Not really, this is a separate project. I got bored of working on Tiny Heroes so I'm working on this now.

Ironic that someone who constantly lectures others on finishing projects puts his own project aside. :P

Anyhow, how much content is there in Tiny Heroes? If there's coop and anything more than 1 hour's worth of play, I think you should release it as is and put up updates as the content is expanded.

I have realized that too, but I lecture on ways that are avoidable. Nobody can help a lack of time and motivation =)

My plan was that you'd be able to play through as each class consecutively, accumulating all special abilities as you go. For this to work, there needs to be an "end" so you can start over. I hadn't made the end boss yet, so there's maybe 20-30 minutes of content. But, if I finished some things up it'd easily have an hour or two.

If you want to bind actions to keys you don't need to make macros, you can use the key_down() proc:

mob
    key_down(k)
        ..()
        
        if(k == "a")
            world << "[src] attacks!"
