We will continue with the tutorial of learning how to create a video game in Construct 3. In the previous post we saw how to start developing our game idea. We created a simple idea in order to be able to complete this tutorial.

"...create a game in platform format, where the main character is a ninja and whose objective is to get the most coins. Instead of coins, let them be Steem 😉. The level must have some obstacles or enemies and a timer".

That was the idea for this little project. Before entering the development engine we must have the necessary design resources for the game.

Resources:

• Main Character: The main character is the protagonist of our game and the one we will control through the level until it is completed.
• Enemies: The enemies will be the obstacles that will try to prevent us from completing the level.
• Objects or Items: The items are the ones that will interact with the character. For example, Coins, chest, healing potion, etc.
• HUD Design: The HUD are the elements that we will see on our screen while we play. Like for example, life bar, time, etc.
• GUI Design: Graphical user interface design, corresponds to the game menus, buttons, etc.
• Level Design: The level is the graphic space where we will play with our character.

We will have to design all these resources from scratch, fortunately there are web pages where we can get a large number of free designs, such as freepik, craftpix, unity store, etc.

The resources that I will use were downloaded from the web page Craftpix where they provide you with the files in different formats, you do not need to have additional programs to use the files but I will use Adobe Illustrator to organize the idea.

Resources for the Level

Personaje Principal	Animations
	For the main character we will use the Idle, Running, Slashing, Jump start, Jump loop and Dying animations. The animations will be included in the downloaded Craftpix file.

Enemy_1	Enemy_2	Boss_1

For the enemies we will use the Idle, Running, Slashing and Dying animations. Free enemies that you can use.

Objects that interact with the character

Steem coin	Chest	Key	Curation

Level elements

To create the level's terrain, look for the Tileset category on the download page. You can find different level kits to create the terrain. I will be using a premium kit so I won't be able to post it for download in this post but I will leave you a download link for a Free Tileset.

Game Preview

Once we have obtained all the resources for the game, we make the idea in Digital.

Level

What does the game consist of or what will our mission be? The main character must take all the Steem in the shortest time possible, including the Steem that are inside the chest, to open the chest you must obtain the key. But beware enemies roam the area.

Level with HUD

In our game we will have a life bar, the amount of Steem, a timer and a pause button. I will provide these resources later.

Conclusion

In this post you were able to get most of the resources to start programming and a preview of our game. In the next post we'll open up Construct3 and start the fun.

I hope you liked this tutorial and you are learning something new!
