Update Post 3:
I've basically spent almost all this time making assets till now... I roughly work 2 hours a day on this project, still gotta maintain that social life.
Here's the rough list of things i've done;
- Done the player movement script; this is a really simple script. One of the characters moves, for example - Right (A key), the other one - Left (still A key), this also contains basic jump mechanic, still need to tweak that though.
- Started to make some levels; i am going for a 'World 1-1' sort of style.
- Started to roughly sketch out the menu; level select and that sort of thing.
- Added a little bit of personality to both characters;
- The story is that... There once was a cube named 'Green' who lived in a gameboy colored world. But one day he was split into two 'Yellow' and 'Blue' (these colors make up green). Now he tries to get back together but everytime he tries, it fails (basically you end a level by getting back together, but instead of ending the game you go to the next level ). 'Yellow' is the optimistic part of 'Green', but 'Blue' is the pessimistic side ('Green' just doesnt give a ****).
Planned mechanics;
- Keys with keylocks; i plan to make blocks which to remove requires a key, doesnt matter which character picked it up (yellow or blue), keys are global.
- Platforms; you can stand on them, and when you press 'W' you can drop down.
- Signs /w dialoge boxes; stand near a sign and a dialoge box shows up.
- Switches; one player stands on a switch that opens something up.
Note; these are the mechanics yet to be added, these are just mock up images...
