Moving & Jumping
I’ve got the basics of moving and jumping done and it feels really nice. I’ve gone with a grounded feeling as opposed to the sliding around that happens in Mario, which I can’t stand. There’s also a nice bit of time after leaving a platform where jumping is still possible, and jumping and releasing the movement direction still keeps you moving slightly in the direction you were moving. All in all it just feels right. However, it will be tweaked significantly as levels are designed.
Clay is on the way! That’s right, clay. As ambitious as going with claymation is, I think it’s such a fun and interesting style.
I’ve also got a basic storyline, theme, settings etc all worked out, but I’m still refining it.
