Hi Everyone,
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a good holiday season and enjoyed spending time with family.
So, I've decided that I'm going to go with a 2d-platformer styled game for this jam. The game will let the player play as a Space Doctor, 'Dr. Spaceman', as he travels to different planets (which will feature different landscapes, gravity, temperature etc.) which will affect how you traverse each stage. Dr. Spaceman's main goal is to bring medicine to the inhabitants of each planet, all while fighting off not so welcoming beings which endanger the planets other dwellers. Dr. Spaceman will have a jet-pack, and a basic gun tool to start with, which can be upgraded as the game progresses.
Hopefully that's enough back-story for now. :P Now on to implementation. I've decided to start with getting the very basics set up. This includes:
1. Rendering a basic tile map.
2. Creating a player object and having him navigate this map.
3. Creating an exit for the player to finish the stage.
These are the three main goals I have set for myself to have finished by the end of today. I will post soon which will detail how (in code) I am going to achieve this.
Thanks,
