So I’ve been making a video game. It’s my first one so I decided to go for a platformer. I’ve spent hours constructing this early test and I think it’s turning out quite well. The game characters are from a puzzle game called BurgerCat but they will be changed if I ever release this game. Inspired by Super Mario and Rainbow Island (on the Amiga).
Theres no sound and no scoring and no objective other than to bump off the dogs who patrol the platforms but the basics are there. Even inertial movement of the character, simple 2D physics and parallax scrolling background.
I’m quite pleased with the results so far and I’m willing to share my experience with anyone who is getting into game development.
I’m not sure why there are some horrible lines near the platforms, looks like a transparency issue.
To do: Add interaction between player and enemies (bump, sounds etc). Add pick ups and power ups. Fix gfx issues. Plus a lot more.
