foksy makes a game

about 8 years

slowly but surely i will make a game

first im bringing back an old platformer of mine and rewriting it from the ground up in dart which is both harder and more satisfying, but mostly harder because looking back my code wasn't too clean which is just one fundamental problem with javascript

so anyway im going to use this thread to keep myself at it and bit by bit make a little progress every day and eventually ill even be able to post some playable demos how exciting

i promise to make you work

you all failed me but fortunately ive felt bad enough about doing nothing that i did some coding for the player and map classes today

i want to try something new but im not too sure how to implement it

basically maps can have layers and the front/back layers will have parallax scrolling and you can jump between layers somehow still not entirely sure how, maybe through some kind of doorway/portal that'll make it easier to coordinate

not sure but i want to do it

do you have any experience with Unity?

you know what might be neat

say players have an inventory of "trophies" (usable items) they've unlocked, mostly from finding them on certain relevant maps
for example

Anklet of Wind - Run slightly faster.
Winged Cap - Gain an additional jump.
Winged Kicks - Gain an additional jump.
Pocket Wind - Breath underwater.
Climbing Claws - Climb walls.
Heart Crystal - Gain an additional life.

theyd serve as both trophies and you could equip two for handy boosts

and that might also add options for new game modes like say a simple little rpg minigame where you can only pass certain areas if you've found certain items

for example

Wooden Shield - Pass the forest barrier.
Rock Shield - Pass the mountain barrier.
Gold Shield - Pass the castle barrier.
Royal Crown - Completed the quest. Access all areas on quest maps.

and all 3 could be found on different quest maps which would randomly play and would serve to progress through that minigame and also once you finish the minigame you also have them as trophies which is cool

you can tell how screwed up my resolution is from the size of that image

my screen isnt even that big

did some styling


decided to go with the old design since i like it and just making a few practical changes as i go along, like the markup is better and makes more sense now

its kind of hard to do web design with this computer though because everything is wonky, no matter what i set the resolution to sizes still just dont line up like a one pixel line looks like a blurry two pixel line which is a big deal

going to try doing more actual coding tomorrow

im reworking the html since the old markup doesnt feel too familiar here's a rough look that i might polish later once i script it up

You should make it PvP and add some projectiles. Similar games have been made but I think it'd still be a fun system. Weapon pickups & destructible landscapes etc.


some powerups will be like usable items that you can activate which will also appear to other players, which means stuff like dropping bombs or shooting arrows for pvp would be possible
