This is an early in development, unnamed game I am making as a hobby.

Explore a vast network non-linear platforming levels, linear challenges, and more where the progression is procedurally generated. Each warp to an area is random and created upon save creation. Explore and fight your way through non-linear areas, and tackle bite sized challenges. Find your place in this world that is unique every single playthrough.

You play as Aiko, a girl who can use a diverse move set to reach extreme heights, distant lengths, and chain abilities together to go where no one has gone before. Movement is fast paced, and movement exploration is encouraged. Of course the movement offers enough precision to tackle tight platforming and enemy dodging.

However, the world isn't always as forgiving. Many foes will face you, from slimes, to garden gnomes, to pterodactyls guarding their nest. All in a variety of locations, from flaming hot skeleton deserts, to neon prismatic mines, and all the way to tropical islands and volcanos from a prehistoric time. You may also uncover hidden secrets such as crab merchants and hidden trinkets to collect.

It's your own personal challenge of platforming, unique to your playthrough. This game is targeting macOS and the Steam Deck.

I also spent too long today playing around with the slide physics. I'm not 100% satisfied with it but it's good enough for now.

Ended up getting some external feedback (and a lot of bugs), I spent today finalizing the movement. I'm now going to add collectables. And then I'll finally (for real this time) work on the first level.

A few changes to movement I'm testing:

Loading...

Working on Mario 64 style slopes. Would love to make slide levels. But I noticed my movement felt like crap when actually platforming. Time to fix that! Subtle changes so far. Also testing speeding up as a separate keybind than bound to spin.

Played around with a bit polish, it's pretty much done other than maybe some camera tweaking. I improved wall jump a lot (zeroing movement, animations, actually visually sticking to walls), and some particle magic. I want to zoom out the cam a tad.

Loading...

Remade the weird sky in Unity. I had to make the sun a physical 3D object with CPU code not GPU which is more expensive, but other than that it's all GPU (including sun rotation and pulsing)

Thinking about my procedural progression idea. I might scale it back and do something similar to Banjo-Tooie and build it like a metroidvania but still keep a bit of randomness. This makes balancing easier. But we'll see I'm still exploring.

I had some really hard difficulties figuring out the code for this. There was a lot of issues. I ended up just duct taping code from the first game cutting all 2.5D stuff + adding new stuff. Also this showcases BLJ for good measure lol (sorta a bug)

The movement system in the previous project (Unity) was heavily geared for 2.5D and would require major updates to adapt to full 3D so I remade the entire Godot system in Unity from scratch. + An outline shader test
