I'm In!!

Let the game making begin! Hoping for a specific theme! :)

Second Session Beginning! Left off at calculating trajectories..

So I'm making a planet jumping game, where you can:

  • [Done]Jump between planets that have overlapping gravity fields
  • [Done - still need trajectory drawing]Blow the planet up you are standing on, to propel across space to land on other objects.
  • Kill enemies that spawn from the core of exploded planets that travel through space to planets you land on
  • Navigate to your home planet, to win. As you spawn on the other side of the galaxy.
  • You play a giant on a planet, think a lego character standing on a basketball for character to planet sizing.

When I finish above mechanics, I'll do the models for the characters. Add environment objects to the planets to make them look more planet like. Animations will come second, run; space float; jump; fall; attack; die. Lastly will be sound, gonna try to make all the game sounds with my mouth.

Hope everyone else is having fun! :)

Update: Little more progress. Those lines!

Got planet exploding done with some trajectory assistance for the player for those longer skill shots. Next up is spawn virus spore minions from exploded planets that chase the player!

Line appearance isn't final, placeholder for now.

And it predicts correctly!
