XNA BlockJumper

[Richard Marks]

OK, So I am either out of my mind or just bored, but I've gone to the dark side and have started developing for Windows using C# and XNA once again.

The current project is a kiddie-style platformer game.
This is an early early build of the game engine that I'm developing.
Its designed for expansion, and is easy to work with.
I might even sell the XNA project (the source code) once I finish this game.

I'd love to hear some comments about it.
The art was made in Inkscape by yours truly.

This looks great so far. Keep it up!

[Richard Marks]

Thanks. Did you try the demo? I'm really looking for some feedback on the moving and jumping controls.
I kinda impressed myself with getting this far despite being sick with a damn head cold.
_{..that reminds me, I gotta go to bed now cause I got work tomorrow morning..shit.}

If you don't plan to use space for anything else, you might consider using it for jump as well as up. More control options never hurts.

[Richard Marks]

The controls are going to be:

Up Arrow, W, Space - Jump
Down Arrow, S, Shift - Charge
Left Arrow, A - Move Left
Right Arrow, D - Move Right
ESC - Cancel Menus
Enter - Confirm Menus


Note: Charging is part of the game mechanics.
Many of the blocks are out of power.
You will need to "charge" certain blocks in order to get through the levels.

I haven't tried, I deleted Windows 2 weeks ago cause it was getting slow. I'm reinstalling it, so will check it out once that's done.

[Richard Marks]

OK, no problem.
