Hello all. I’ve decided to start on a new more simple project for a bit. It will be a simple infinite runner in which you shoot also, hence the name, run and gun. I’ve gotten some basics up and running. Mainly just running, but I also have graphics, which I’m normally lacking.
The final concept will be similar to this in appearance:
To see the game animated a bit, here is the first test with the atlased text. Needs some optimization, but besides that, seems to be doing pretty decent.

The ground platform is reused over and over (after it gets 10 units behind the player, it moves 10 units in front of the player.) so at least that’s optimized.
This is actually a 3d environment using planes and a custom made animation script and simply using an orthographic view. This seemed to be the easiest way to go about 2d in unity as GUI isn’t super fast, and a bunch of 2 poly planes don’t take much rendering. Anyway, let me know what you think about the super super little I have done. Mainly I’m wanting to know if the little bit of art I’ve done is decent enough to go with. I’m not the best artist in the world, but I would say my pixel art is probably my best.
I’ll be working on it when I can, and hopefully get it out pretty quick. I’ll probably release it for free with ad support when I do get done. Maybe I’ll be able to get it done before the St. Louis game jam this weekend? Who knows. I’d like to finish it before then anyway.
