InSilico: A branching sci-fi platformer
InSilico is a lo-fi, flick-screen action-platformer comprised of a single level with multiple, branching paths to the final area. As players progress through the various challenges and boss fights, they will occasionally come to rooms with multiple exists and be forced to choose one of two to progress to at each fork. Path decisions are permanent, and once a route has been selected back-tracking to previous areas will become impossible. Each area will lead to one of a number of types of upgrades, and feature unique enemies, bosses and environments. At this point in development it's still undecided, but various possible routes through the game will likely have an impact on the final boss encounter and ending cutscene.

The video is great.. are you going to include more terrain interaction? I.e. moving platforms, destructable walls, switches, etc..  The one thing I'm not sure about is the player's helmet. It looks a bit odd to me.  |

Thanks guys.
happymonster: Yes sir. Likely all of those terrain types are going to be included in some form. As to the helmet, do you mean in the concept or the sprite? Or maybe both?

Cool! I meant in the sprite, it looks too hollow compared to the rest of his body (to me..)

That video is quite nice. Despite the lack of originality you've mentioned, I think this will be quite a gem if you finish it

That video was 2:45 of pixelly goodness. This looks pretty sick, man. I think as for your sprite, perhaps you should add a single pixel to the top left corner of his helmet (where it ends in spikes on the concept art). By the way, awesome concept art!

I had a quick go.. this isn't so much of a helmet, but I think it has a bit more character:  |
