Part 2

Adding Character

  • Open your character blueprint (default in 2DPlatformerBP folder)

    We will need it later but open it to save time

  • Make idle flipbook

    Select 3 idle sprites and make flipbook from them

  • Open run flipbook

    Do the same thing but set fps to 10

In next tutorial I will show you how to implement new idle, running and jumping animations. If you like my work, like post and follow my game page. Followers will be able to request special explanation of any feature.

Hi everyone, Today I'm posting new room which I have been doing on stream. It's not 100% completed yet but it's pretty good for me. I showed up one key on my screen but no one claimed it :( If you want to get your key - read [article]. Have a good day!

Hey, I made third room for my game. Here you'll have to find a key and video which will be played on the TV in the corner. No more spoilers! Watch streams on twitch to get private testing keys. See you soon and of course... Have a great day!

I've just finished small map where you have to solve a riddle. It's pretty easy but I don't want to spoil anything. I'm posting some of the photos I took on ultra settings :) (don't worry, there are also low graphics settings)

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 4 celebrates @ElPichon ! They're just a bird who likes to draw! They're also the developer behind The Bunny Graveyard II and Chunky JUMP!. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How Did You Learn Game Dev?

New tutorial soon!

I'm posting coin sprites. You can download them and try to make rotating coin. If you don't know how, you should wait for tutorial. Don't worry I will help you :)

For now you only have to download these sprites and import them to UE4.

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 5 celebrates @ExpoDev ! He's the founder of PMH Interactive and is working on The Obsessive Shadow and more. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What keeps you making games when it gets tough?

Hi, Today's dev-log will be short. I managed to add new main menu background. I added a map with camera, so now you can see live environment. I also added music to the menu. You can see background map on the photo. Have a nice day :)

Hi, I'm posing some screenshots after polishing map. What do you think about it?

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 6 celebrates @Narwhalnut ! They program bugs (in the game Insectile)! We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What dev habit helps you the most?

Hi, I've just finished making first short map. I added some post process and now it looks pretty good. All [WIP] things are in the previous post.
