I have finally got around to starting a dev log on my game.

My game is called Jables' Adventure.
It is a platformer with some exploration. However since this is my first game it shall be really short [or else it will never get finished ;P]

I want to get 30 min-1 hour of gameplay

Here is the main character:


His name is Jables and he is randomly made "the hero"
Who decides if he is a hero?

That would be this guy:


Squiddy pops in and decided Jables is the hero.
Curious Jables decides to follow him.


Another main character is:

He is really important to the story because he is the save point.
Give him a high 5 and the game is saved.
Short, sweet, and simple.


There will be 3 areas to the game
Forest
Underwater/Cave
Volcano

After each will give you an item to help you along.
[I don't want to tell you the 2 items, they can be a surprise]


Here are some screenshots:




I am working in mmf2, and Have pretty bad/simple coding so don't expect the coolest effects.

ALSO, I have NO MUSIC
I can make 5 second tunes but that's it..
so if you want to help that would be awesome.



I might make a demo, or just wait till the game is done.

I like the characters. They're pretty slick, and have a lot of personality. Best wishes as the project progresses!

More posts of praise tbh!

[Nate Kling]

Ha!  I love it jajitsu!  I can't wait to see more progress!  Keep us updated!

I love your sprite pixel work.

Also, the idea of a savepoint being just some dude that you run by and highfive while having adventures just seems... right... to me, somehow.

This game seems to be really awesome. I'm watching it!

I like the save point guy  he looks like he has attitude (or something!)

So cute!

[MaloEspada]

I look forward to this! But please, save the pictures as .png so the quality isn't shitty. I want to fully appreciate this pixel work.

I'm expecting the main character to run by at mach speed, leap into the air and have a mid-air high five complete with a flashy background to save.

Wonderful idea! Er, to have the save point be like that, not my idea. My idea is pretty cool too though.

hahah your idea would be awesome, but again i'm going for the quick save.

I'm glad so many people like the save point :]

[JaJitsu]

Pretty much got a the first area done.
Here's some screens [rather boring]




You can jump on top of the rock. For some reason i'm excited about that.


I am going to get the whole save system working next. Have to learn Ini.
As soon as it works i'll post an update and show the high-five animation or something.

I dont like how some sprites have BLACK outline and other have a DARKER COLOR outline, for example the house and the tree. I think it looks weird, but thats just me.

[Zaphos]

This looks quite lovely!  Keep it up 

[Damian]

Some good pixel pushing here Jajitsu, Keep it up dude.

[count]

Wow, relly looking forward to this one.

I wish I could make drawings like that 

[AuthenticKaizen]

[medieval]

So all of the stuff shown here is already in-game?

Yep :]
when i get more i'll post

[PureQuestion]

You're the main person who seems to post in my Devlog for MoM, so I m well return the favor.

Looks really nice so far. The eyes seem a bit lacking compared to everything else, but they're about the same as the eyes on my main character. It's just that your art is way better than mine. It's all relative.

Anyway, looking forward to more images.
