It's not finished yet, but this is a freeware program designed to create 2D scrollers (such as Jazz, Sonic, Mario, Megaman, Hocus, Sparkster, Cosmo, Duke Nukum, Aero and however many other games) playable on GBA's or the Visual Boy Advance program. While I haven't actually made anything with it myself, several projects are being worked on, and from what I've seen it seems pretty easy to use. People who don't like complicated design environments may want to check this out, as it seems relatively flexible despite the small range it's designed to work in.

quite cool but I am too much busy with JCS and Gamemaker.

Nice find... In my freetime (dies laughing) I'll mess with this.

lol maybe we can correct JJA and make it jj2 style :P

JJ2 is a rather complicated program, and would probably fall into numerous limitations of the Sv4 environment. I have higher hopes for simpler projects...

Does anyone still have a copy of this engine, and wouldn't mind puttting it up for download?
The website is dead, and I no longer have the engine after a hardrive crash.

I never throw anything away until it's absolutely necessary.



*glances at screenshot* Uh, yeah, that project is... uh... TOTALLY COMING ALONG FINE.

I take that means "oh crap I did that like a year ago and forgot."

I remember this, but I had as much free time as now :\

Neat.

Does anyone know how to make maps/levels for this?
It's a shame it didn't include a basic tutorial.

The tutorial was on the web-site, which is now down. I have uploaded the "game" you create using the tutorial here and you can maybe work backwards from there.

Thank you.
