I’m making a little adventure game in pulp! It’s called A Game About Climbing Mountains!
For now, this is what is done:
Fun intro! Look forward to seeing more
Actually I want to put a cinematic instead of that text. The only thing is I have no idea of how am I going to do that 
New stuff.
I wrote this WoNdErFuL code for the inventory, but I don’t understand why when I have something in it, the “money” stat dissapears. Here you have images and the code if someone wants to help me
on cancel do
say "\n\n You check your inventory..." at 2,2,19,7
menu at 2,2,18,7 then
if Worm==1 then
option "A worm" then
say "\n\n That's a worm." at 2,2,19,7
end
elseif Map==1 then
option "The Valley's map" then
say "\n\nIt's a map. Somehow it was a worm before..." at 2,2,19,7
end
elseif Money>0 then
option "{Money} bucks" then
say "\n\n These are {Money} bucks.\nYou're not sure about how you got them, tough." at 2,2,19,7
end
elseif Money==0 then
option "An empty wallet" then
say "\n\n\n You have no money. Find a job!" at 2,2,19,7
end
elseif A==1 then
option "Back" then
end
end
end
end
end
Issue solved. I wrote elseif instead of if everywhere.
Now it works properly
For starters, you can put a dialogue box on top of another one.
say "Something should go here" then
say "And then something after that..." then
//Code can be added here
end
ene
from here you could add other stuff like changing rooms, move tiles by manually replacing their positions or play a sound.
There's also wait, if you need something to ocurr after a period of time.
With just these two, you can turn it into a cinematic intro.
Thanks! But actually what I wanted to figure out is how to make animated cutscenes in pulp. I mean, is there a better way instead of writing 8783756987454 “tell x,y to swap to”? Nevertheless, I did not knew about multiple “say” at a time, so thank you very much!!!
Today’s Devlog:
You can create animated tiles in Pulp, if you want to make a scene less static. However for fully animatated scenes, it's a bit trickier and will take a lot of tiles depending on the size. The general idea is to take an image (equal or less than the size of the screen), split them into chunks and place them into a room. There is a tool for aesprite that lets you import large animations into pulp.
You can create a couple of loops that place the tiles from top to bottom without having to swap every tile on screen manually. There's a much comprehensive guide on how to do this with imported tiles but it's something like this, it draws all tiles on screen.
x = 0
y = 0
tile = 0
while y <=15 do
while x <= 25 do
tell x,y to
swap tile
end
tile++
x++
end
y++
end
Oh thank you very much!!
Today’s Devlog:
I’m not gonna tell you!
If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them.
Also, I have a question. I don’t know if you know Playdate game Resonant Tale which is a super great game.
In this game, the player instead of stumbling around, like in classical pulp games, it moves fluidly.
How can I do that?
I wrote about how I achieved this in Resonant Tale here in my devlog.
It’s not the only way to get the appearance of smooth movement - for example it’s also possible to draw a tile at a fractional grid position by using variables with non-integer values. For my purposes in Resonant Tale though faking the appearance of smooth movement with tile animations while still being snapped to the grid was exactly what I wanted
Thank you so much! I'll read it right now!
By the way, I'll put you in the "Thanks to" section of the credits, because I think it's great that such an important developer like you is interested in my little pulp game. 
Hi!
I love how you are developing your game, it's so good that Big creators are giving you advise.
I think your game'll be great!!!
So, today’s devlog:
Thanks to @orkn I implemented a smooth movement system in the game. The thing is there is a little problem. The walking animation only is active when the player moves to the left. Does anyone know what happens?
So, Da News:
On the device!
Also added a new launch screen!!!
I was 2 hours doing this
So, Da News:
Ignore that poll. I’ve had a ReVeLaTiOn last night. You see, I discovered I can turn drawings into pulp rooms. And so, I’ve decided that I will draw everything, and so it will be at least less ugly, and actually it will look as a comic book (i hope)
Also, I changed the initial text explaining the story by a letter:
Why does it look like the journalist is Termine? 
(I just love it )
Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement…
(drumroll)
Happy Halloween!!!
A GAME ABOUT CLIMBING MOUNTAINS WILL HAVE @Don_Nunoshi AS ITS COMPOSER!!!
HURRAY!!!
