Hi everybody,
It's actually finally done. A new update for Ball-Swinger. Since the last update, many things changed for me and my time to make games got cut short quite a bit. But as promised, I will finish this game. Even if it takes a while. By the way, thanks for your comments. It is really motivating to see that people enjoy what I created.
Anyway, the final dimensions of this game are now set on the following points : It will contain four separate stages that set their focus on different challenges. Those will then be combined in a special final stage that can be unlocked by clearing the first four.
This update contains the first two stages that focus on the two basic movement mechanics:
Within the yellow stage, your ability to grapple is disabled. So you have to use your normal rolling and jumping to climb up the map and finish the given parkour. It also introduces a different type of floor material: Ice. Slide around with a minimal amount of traction.
The green stage has its focus on swinging and jumping. Pass through multiple rings in a set order to finish this one. Let's get airborne! But don't be fooled. This level has more to offer than what can be seen at first.
Foremost, I will have to a bit of behind the scenes work: With the final goal set, I can estimate my workload and structure the project accordingly. I will have to update the lightning system. I finally need to add sounds. And a new level can't miss, either.
Well then.
See you next time!
