I made this over the last 2 days for the mini ludum dare "demake" theme, please check it out and have fun

That chip tunes remix - oh gawd, nostalgia bomb...

Anyway, it was impossible to control but I had fun goofing around and listening to the music.

good lord yes

please be my dad

Ha this was great, and loved the 8bit/midi greenday. :)

ok son




your new dungeon game looks radical, send me a demo please

Nah its nothing. Moonman is my real game..

would you consider releasing source for this? I'm not very good at unity and being able to check out something of this scale would really help me out!!!! do it for your son

sourcecode is a sewer of despair, you don't wanna look in there but i'll ruin some of the magic for you:

- raycast down, get the normal, then do some quaternion magic to get angle the player should be at. then use lerp to align him

- to check bails i got collision point on the player, made sure it was above his knees, then checked he was going fast enough to bail. otherwise i reverse his acceleration vector so he bounces off

- to check other bails i get angle of floor and player when he lands and use vector3.angle or quaternion.angle to see if the gap is big enough

- when he lands i get his momentum vector, then i get his transform.forward. i zero out the Y of both. if the angle between them is like 45 degrees, i bail him (landed sideways). if its 180 i reverse his acceleration so you can skate backwards

- to check tricks i: have a ball of invisible blocks which follow the player. they're named "front", "front right", "top"..etc, when you're in the air he raycasts forward and any blocks hit by the raycast get added to a list. the list is checked so if you have certain blocks and in certain order, the game knows you did a leftside 180 or a backflip or whatever

thats all the tricky stuff - good luck son

^^^ That was absolutely massively helpful.

Last question, what kind of `thing` is the character? Are you driving him around with a character controller, kinematic rigidbody?

EDIT: Your Physics platformer kit looks awesome, will investigate.

This is indeed satisfactory. :lol:

Nice work!

yesssssss goyim, buy it, buy it all

(its a character controller)

can we make mario galaxy with this platformer framework? with relative camera aligned to current gravity direction?

that's not included but if you really wanted to do it, it's a simple add:

- get closest planet to player
- set world gravity to be a vector3 (planet pos - player pos) pointing to that planet
- rotate player/camera to face their Y axis down at centre of planet

and how do you avoid gimbal lock? (been there)

beside that mario galaxy has more than planetoid, planet came in all shapes and form

Wow that Superman song is nostalgic. Really fun game dude.

Why aren't there more skating games? No, being a nightmare to develop doesn't count. You did this in two days bro.

Two.

Days.

Let's jam it uppp

HAHAHAHAHA

Please continue this.

I was sold by the .gif alone. Looks like Sumotori Dreams had tender love with THPS and this was the result.

With there was a little more to it but great work for that quick a turn around.

This is way too much silly fun. I love it.

But, to be honest, that opinion may be highly colored by the Goldfinger Chiptune. I want that so bad. Mind if I ask where you got it?

how crazy, first off, i had fun playing this.  i played much longer than i would have if it weren't for the stats you could increase after each round, so it was really nice to have that feature make a big impact.  this game could be really cool if you expanded on it and found more ways to bring humor to the game and just encourage ridiculous gameplay/movement.  also the names of the tricks were super funny.

but then your website name sounded familiar and now i realize we used to animate together back in the day.  or at least once.  i used to go by woodpusher like 10 years ago animating stick figures and now i do freelance animation stuff.  it's really cool that you kept an interest with the programming you dabbled with a while back and are really into making games now.  i just played through use boxmen too which was a fun lil game that i also played for longer than i expected, haha.

but yeah, i browse tigsource a lot just to get inspired and figured i should finally register and say hey :) keep it up mane

Pretty impressive for a game jam game. The physics are pretty good, and it is definitely fun to play. Maybe a bit difficult to land the tricks, but then if it was too easy it would be no fun!
