Game Layout and Testing - GameJam2020 - Day02

I've been messing around quite a time in Godot and I begin to understand how the thing works now. Take a look!:

It is different from Unreal but bear some similarities in term of concepts. Things are getting better on the technical side.

However.

The designing part is much more harder. Getting a platformer to have an interesting feel in level design is much harder than I thought. I din't had the game experience in mind but I had the visuals.

So I got in Blender, made some rendered images and placed them in the scene to simulate environment and it works wonder in my opinion. The problem is , it's not a productive way to design a game. Iterating a level over a 3d rendered image is slow and not helpful.

I suddenly found a creative vibe of some sort and got loose with the realisation which helped a lot. Added an animated block to move the player when sliding and another that can be pushed to reach higher blocks.

Now, I will keep focusing on finishing the gameplay and placing the end to finish the loop.

Peace out!
