I need some comments on the problems below.
Read this. Then gimmie feedback.
Ive gotten a lot of progress on the game but first let me tell you a little bit about the game!
Game Idea:
Its a 2d side scroller with very simple graphics. You control Lask. The game is unique because
it will have an 'Action' button like in Resident Evil 4 and many other games that lets you
interact with different objects in a certain way.
I want the 'Action' button(s) to basically be the main aspect of the game. I already have a
lot of sprites of Lask doing all sorts of different actions. You may only see certain animations
once in the game.
I want each level to be very unique and be different than all the other levels in the game
as opposed to most side scrollers such as the mario or megaman games where you play the same
way in every level throughout the game. Each boss will also be completely original in terms
of how you fight each individual one. (think Shadow of the Colossus)
Current Progress:
You can sit idly.
You can walk.
Theres a transiton sprite for changing from left/right.
You can run, by double tapping the left/right key.
You slowly speed up when running. Once you get to max speed, which doesnt take long, you will
skid if you stop or change directions.
Problems/Concerns:
I'll worry about getting the animation speed just right later on.
I wish I had someone to do the graphics for me, I always imagined a simple stick
like figure, but I also wanted the animations to be VERY smooth.
#But my main concern at the moment is should the player skid when he stops running?
#Should you auto run and not even have a walk?
#Should you gradually go from walking to running or should I keep it how it is where you have to double tap the button to run.
Please give me your opinions!
A lot of stuff is still up for debate and just about nothing is set in stone for the game just yet.
I'll probably put up the current build for you guys to try it out within the next few days.
Im not sure what im going to work on next, but im not happy with the movement system so ill probably go tinker with that.
Thanks!
Edit: I made a help wanted post for this game. I need a 2d artist, a designer, and someone to do the sound/music. Clicky
