Itch.io's pay what you want model would fit perfectly. And well, when people see great things, they want to give money, as you put a lot of efforts in it. So yeah, what T-bone said.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up, Roland, I'll be sure to check out that site. Again, thanks to all you guys for your comments, I'm glad you're liking the project so far.

Thanks for the interest! However, the project is still far away from public release—as there's a lot of stuff I'd like to complete first. I'll eventually get there, but I can't commit to any specific time frame. I suppose it will be out... "When it's done™"!

Are these maps created with polygons? How movement/collisions works in that case? :death:
Looks promising :)

Hi pacman! Yeah, the paths on the maps are created as polygons using smaller descriptors I call “sectors”. The idea is not very complex. Each sector is a 2D-line delimited by two basic coordinates: star and end, thus, a sector can be set with any angle. Right-angled sectors are used to identify walls. Sectors can also be “tagged” with different properties (e.g. height or "hardness"). Chaining multiple sectors creates a full path.

Movement along a path is relatively easy. Once each actor figures out its position on the map, it queries the information of nearby sectors (including sector boundaries). This information is used for collision detection. This is none other than a vulgar spatial hashing-like implementation.

That's the basic idea behind it. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you for explanation :) It makes me wonder about two problems.
1. How a map is created/stored? Did you make map editor where you can draw these lines and mess with them?
2. How do you apply texture/graphic to polygons?
