DevLog 001: "Return of the King"


Hello fellow internet users!

it is I, Ryhan MS.

It's been a minute since I've given any updates in regarding to TPR, but that's mostly because up until now...

I was stumped.

While working on the new prototype of the game (which if you somehow remember from my last DevLog I had to start from scratch), I've encountered a bug I simply did not have the technical knowledge to fix!

So yeah...

I spent the last 2 years stumped....

great...

Luckily, I actually entered a college and am currently studying software development this time, AND I'm taking some extra Java development classes for game development!

(You'd think I should have started with those first instead of just diving headfirst into making a full game from the get-go, but I digress.)

Anyway, hopefully development goes more smoothly from now on as I've finally fixed that [PESKY BUG!!!!], and have an ACTUAL familiarity with coding and game development (Though I am still in the learning process, but you know how it is, baby steps, baby steps.)

Anyway, I've properly implemented most of the main mechanics in the game, with only one that's giving me a bit of trouble figuring out.

Here's a list of all the mechanics that have been implemented so far:

-Walking left and right

-Jumping and double jumping

-Crouching (F$#%ING FINALLY!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH)

-Air Dash

-Air Spin

-Backflip

-Air Backflip

-Boost (A bit broken still)

-Slide

-Roll (Buggy as heck)

-Stomp (Broken as heck) <--- This is the one causing me trouble now :(

For the most part, almost everything works mostly as intended, sure there needs a LOT more polish, but that's not a concern at the moment.

For now, my priority is making sure everything works and EXISTS.
Polish can come later when I ACTUALLY have something to polish.

This game is still a long way from being at a playable state, but for the first time in a while, I actually feel like I'm making significant progress, and it feels revigorating!!!! :D

Anyway, I'm gonna spend my time studying and putting what I learn into making this game the best I can make.

Mark my words, internet!

Ryhan MS WILL finish The Planet Runners!

See you later, alligator! ;D

ps: typo(s)

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
