The sources will be shown in the video submitted to canvas. For art, I hand drew all assets, all except the backgrounds (Generated based on prompts for AI). The art was used as Image input for an AI application called Wonder (Google Play).
When I was planning the game out I had the idea of using AI and it really paid off. I used many other apps I already had on my phone to remove backgrounds, animate, etc..(will screen record phone).
As for Audio, there is a website called free music archives. All music is free so long that artists are credited and no money is made(creative commons).
for some of the scripts, I did need some help from tutorials. Even so, implementing was a nightmare.
For Background scrolling, I referred to a tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YQVrs46f6k&t=2s). This parallax effect was helpful for my final level as the player falls down to deliver a blow to an enemy . I also had to invert movement. I spent some time on forum.unity.com for bug fixes (things like DontDestroyOnLoad were useful but frustrating at times lol).
I used this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oTYabhj248) for basic dialogue. I had planned on dialogue triggering when the player collided with the NPC, however decided I had no time.
For level one, camera movement was a real pain. Tutorials were useful (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA5DgZfRsAM) but ultimately I still have some minor annoyances.
StackOverflow was useful as well.
I'm proud of the finished product and can confidently say I might just make another game in my free time (if less stressful lol)

Really cool platformer and was a lot of fun to play. The camera got a bit wonky sometimes, particularly if you fell back down to a section you had already passed before.
If anyone is stuck at the very beginning and it seems like you cannot progress,
SPOILERS:
you should go right, not left. I was actually able to get up to the fire on the left side but that's not the right way to go (as far as I can tell). There's more to the right, though, a lot more.
First thing I noticed was the art and the nice use of changing perspectives. Jumping to and from platforms feels...off? I noticed you can getter jumps by jumping first then strafing instead of running then jumping. I was also able to trick the auto camera movement so small bug there. Great work, hope to see your next game!
