DETOX is a platformer being made by me and Deadhog, that leans more towards difficulty, avoiding traps and making it through a level alive.
You play as our heroic blob, a special chemical who is needed to purify his world's water supply, which has been corrupted by his evil doppleganger. No one had a will strong enough to take on the mission, so he took up action!
This is our first game as partners( and my first game, period!) but it's been a lot of fun so far and we have made quick progress. We decided to start small and see how well we worked together and work up to our ideas of grandeur as we went.
Some things the two of us are thinking so far:
- We wanted to make a platformer that was similar to games like super meatboy and IWBTG, but hopefully as approachable as meatboy
- We are still working on the system that will link all our levels together, thinking of a main hub that links sections together like the paintings in Mario 64
- To have as many animations as we can, so it feels polished and lively but also as training for oncoming projects
- We are trying to keep it so that we don't need a tutorial or a readme to explain, making it easy to pickup and go
We have a lot of mechanical stuff done, right now it's been difficult making levels that are as challenging as we want while being fair, and not TOO frustrating!.
