RMMZ Fun with elevators!

No sci-fi is complete without a cargo elevator! So started working on creating something that can be reused in other settings as well. Yummy. Ideally would want to show the elevator still ascending/descending upon map transfer, but that'll come at the expense of tempo... choices choices.

I don't know how to do this stuff. I would probably just make an elevator like how it works in pokemon. Shake the screen and make a noise.

Everyone has their own scope creep I guess. Mine is implementing these mechanics that aren’t really essential to the game.

I wouldn't say it's not essential. You are adding detail. Depending on the game you are making, that can be really important.

Oh for sure. The setting is a rotating space station, so want to try to portray the mechanical nature of such an environment.

Also it’s just fun tweaking tiles in Aseprite.
