Platform coding

#draco #dragon #cartoon #indie #news #update


Hello again everyone,

Sorry for the late progress report. As I said once before, I was having issues with motivation and self-esteem issues. But I'm feeling lot better, so no worries.

Okay, so if you haven't seen it already, I dropped a video showing the platforms being added in the game. Now, the logic works, Players can jump on it and through it, but for some reason, when players jump through it the Draco's switches states for whatever reason. Like, he'll go from the jump to idle, if you jump through it.

I know it has something to do with states, I'll figure it out hopefully soon enough. But if I can't, then I'll have to make it where platforms can't be jumped through. But don't worry, that'll be a last resort. And hey, it'll be nice callback to Super Mario Bros. 1/Lost Levels, you couldn't jump through those platforms.

So after that, I'm gonna try to work on animations, like Draco's Sugar Rush Animations after he gets the Superstar Donut. I want him to wackier and less serious like he is now. Then couple of more effects and few more tweaks and I'll update the demo.

So yeah, that's about it. See you guys in the next update and be on the look out for more posts and artwork.

Level Changes

Never get up close to Krush, but Draco doesn't seem too worried though.

My thoughts on the Switch 2:

Well, I think it's a nice upgrade of the 1st Switch, and the games are pretty cool too, especially Mario Kart World.

Not happy about the game prices though. Probably gonna just get the console 1st.

Captain Jawfin and his Pirate Crew:

Fishlip, Crook, HippoBlasto, and Tuskular.

The enemies and boss of Pirate Hideout.

Man, I have BUNCH of monster designs for the next level, but it's been tough for me to make a decision. Thankfully the last two should be my final choice

I FINALLY decided on the enemies for Monster Cavern

SnotFire, the one -eyed monster, has a bad cold and will sneeze fire.

RockSmash, a rock like monster, will try to smash you and is very durable

Krush (2nd boss of the game), has a slightly new design, making more gorilla like. Krush is a Rhinorilla monster after all.

Normally I don't do this, but today is World Bear Day, and I do have a bear character. Bugsy Bear, Draco's best friend and goofy sidekick.
