What I'm doing going forward:
The game will be 100% like the original (or as best as I can)
So you'll have:
- Inventions system (Frogzooka, Firefly jetpack, etc)
- Expanded movement, I plan to add many different traversal methods
- Rideable creatures
- More (I'll showcase more later)
My first steps were to better replicate the original look of the game - starting with a graphical update - including animations (mostly). Now that I've nailed it in the way I wanted it to look:
Gameplay! I'm going to essentially start from scratch on some of the gameplay because certain elements from the original code-base would not mesh well with what I plan to do; what do I plan to do?
Add entirely new systems; one of those being combat - a more stripped back version of the titans combat (since the inventions system will mesh into it, I see no point in making 100 different combat animations, that and I can only animate somewhat decent)
And new movement systems! Climbing, ledge grab, swimming (not full swimming, think LoZ BOTW), swining (Rayman style, mostly).
Anyway, I could talk more about what I plan to add- but I'll leave that to developer videos.
Next up
Did some work on a new area, nothing here *yet*
Christmas update is actually close to done, I'm deciding to just drop it when I feel its fine. Remember it is extremely WIP still, and this is the last sandbox release I do till a proper future demo. This is not going to have a lot to it
Would you guys be fine with another sandbox demo where you just explore around and there's no end goal or anything? Just the ability to get a feel for the game, as I want to release a playable demo, but I don't want to reveal anything story-wise yet
WIP: New Sky Based on the original screenshots/concept art. I'll touch it up later, but here's a preview
Christmas update, coming sometime soon! #CrashBandicoot #Fangame #indie
I need to just show how the game looks while playing in-editor compared to the sandbox I just released. So here's a short video. The differences have me pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the hell is going on with it.
Since the holidays are coming close up, Crash is already celebrating (he's sorry he missed Halloween and Thanksgiving) I think the "demo" I release will have a hint of the holiday spirit to it
Not Dead Yet!
May as well drop another preview
Thought it'd be cool to show off what the first island looks like so far, so here's a few screenshots.
