The first Kumper prototype was made in Scratch, in 2023 new year's eve
Almost a year later, it's now being turned into an almost actual game for the Gameboy colour using GB Studio!
Both games will display many differences, but many aspects are being kept.
Next up
Menus and sub-menus!
Added menu navigation! You can now either continue the game from your last "checkpoint", or just go to the level selection screen and play a level freely, and then the other essential buttons.
Lots of progress made!
Started working on the first cutscene (still very W.I.P) of the game, and almost finished the 2 first levels.
I'll release a stable Demo of this game in no time! But then finishing the rest of the game will take a big while...
Save data + level completion/unlocking
Today I did a huge breakthrough! Not only you can now properly unlock new levels after beating the previous ones... but also your progress can be saved! And it's automatic!
The game saves after you complete a level.
My favourite #SummerMemory is doing sleepovers at my best friend's house and then just play together and walk on the city. It was always like this every summer until we reached highschool.
I also went to various beaches and waterparks before the pandemic.
Added still water to my game
Sarcasm lol, I'm working on the 3rd level where it introduces water and a new type of enemy: frog!
Water changes up the player's physics, allowing for some different platforming styles.
Frogs jump vertically & kill from below.
Updating the game pages with some new fresh art of the game!
Koppy is charging up his jump to reach that platform far in the sky and collect the medal... can he make it?
For #FanArtFriday, I drew #Zeraora!
This is my favourite mythical #Pokemon, I find its design really cool (altho its kinda tricky to draw him).
Rebuilding the cake themed level! It now has a whole different layout (but still keeps the "vertical" level design feel).
And also enhanced the gameplay flow by letting the player charge a jump while he's in the air! (Good luck speedrunning this game!)
SONIC SKETBOAR
Level selection screen preview + medal collection system
I'm kinda back at developing this project, at least for a few days until I have to get ready for exams (again).
Here's a preview of the level selection screen, already with a medal system.
