A few changes to movement I'm testing:


  • Sprinting is no longer bound to spin, instead it's using LShift or LeftTrigger

  • Long jump has been rebound from shift to e (for now anyways)

  • Long jump has the same gravity, but jumps have altered gravity and the player by default has higher gravity than before (-20 to -30)

  • If you spin in the air, it will cancel when reaching the ground, if you spin on the ground works as usual

  • Higher ground friction, lower air friction

  • Coyote time bumped from 0.25 seconds to 0.5 seconds

  • Spin jump heights have been changed for the new gravity

I'll let this cook and come back to it in a few hours. It's an iterative process. A bad player controller has a ripple effect on the rest of the platformer game, and a bad player controller in a platformer is a bad platformer.

Simple scene exit animation with a jingle when collecting pineapples. Right now it just reloads the scene but I'll hook it into a hub later.

Back to the debug area to test swimming, a new mechanic!

Sometimes adventuring is tiring. Why not take a nap?

"grey"boxing the main part of the desert level. Making edits based on what feels right.

After some considering, going to push the desert back 1 level, and in place I'm going to be making this tropical turtle archipelago thing. It's mostly an excuse to experiment with the water mechanics.

Got a gameplay idea but it requires promoting crabby to main character status. Thinking.

My own linear moving platform system based on tweening. Pretty happy with it.

Ignoring my messy hand writing I wrote a draft for the skeletal desert. A little spoiler-y & doesn't reflect the final game. Going for a fire + ice theme. However this week has been pretty intense for the game, so I need to deflate for a day or two lol.

Greyboxing the northern lava section. I'm planning to add a lava pit that leads to the eastern ice cave. No lava right now though just use your imagination.

In engine top down view of the tropical map. Still missing bits, pieces, and detail. But I threw this together in like less than an hour lol.
