PlataGO! is a level editor that allows its users to dive straight into creating 2D platformers levels using the built-in resources. With this project, I aim to create a brand new pack of free resources that could be used with PlataGO!'s constraints.
As soon as you open PlataGO!, you will land on the main menu. You might want to explore a little if its your very first time opening the tool.
Please do as you wish =) Again, I will not go over the user interface and such, as there are existing resources that do that perfectly well.
Once you're done, go back to the main menu and click the Open User Folder Button.
You will get sed to that folder, as all the modding work will take place inside that folder.
Clicking the button will pop up a new window, directly opening the customizing folder.
I strongly recommend to copy/paste the "Template" folder and to rename it to your liking.
Now that we've learned that, the biggest part of the wrk will be to replace the original graphics in those atlases by custom ones.
Next time, we will have a deeper look at the Main Character Entity.
Stay tuned!
Cheers.
