2020 Update Hey everyone, I've been returning to this project recently, it started out in 2015 as a 3D platformer. I quit back then because I had so much trouble with making a level editor. I'm pleased to say after gaining much more experience over 5 years, I'm back and I've coded a level editor successfully! I'll leave most of the original post here for nostalgia purposes.
So what is it? It's a 2 Player (online only) platformer where your vision is swapped with your partner. This means you control your character but only your partner can see them. I have 7 levels complete so far, and I'm working on more mechanics other than moving platforms and switches . You can download the game here although keep in mind you need 2 players and preferably a VOIP program like Skype. Controls: (Xbox controller preferred) Keyboard: W/A/S/D - Move Q/E - Tilt View Space - Jump Controller: Left Joystick - Move L/R Triggers - Tilt View A - Jump Thanks for reading guys, I'll be updating soon.

Update #1.3:Okay, so networking the animations took a while but it's down and working perfect now, also redesigned the points to gems. I want a harder treasure to get though, like a grail or golden statue or something and put them in really tricky places. As of now, there's no consequence to dying other than being reset and there's no function to actually reset the level in there so that's something I'm going to have to work on. I also added a little light flicker just to add a little more atmosphere, may need some tinkering but it looks cool.

Update #1.4:(Trying to keep update numbers at 1 per day so sorry about spam) So I was messing around with textures and popped back into Unity and it's already looking like a different setting. I'm currently modelling a little ladder and I also want to change the switch textures. Okay, done! Now they look like a retired version of their former selves Quite happy. Another quick ninja update... The game on my other monitor looks a lot darker and I realised how dim the whole thing was so I put a directional light in there and it helps, I also turned on shadows, I think I'm liking that.

Update #2:Made a new puzzle mechanic which I can't wait to see people try. When player 1 stands on the green tiles, the yellow platform mimics the player (and snaps to a 1x1 grid for ease) while the other player has to try and stay on the platform No gif of it in action yet but I'll keep the updates coming!

Update #3:Made some water drops and a water flow thing, I feel like something's missing in them at the moment but they're coming along. I've also been thinking about a single player version. Probably wouldn't be as expanded as the multiplayer content but I'll add some anyway.

I really like the art as well. I know you said you're mainly a programmer but I think you've done a good job with it.
Your game has a really cool and interesting idea I can't wait to see what more you add to it!

Update #4: So I have a good standing in core programming of the games gameplay. It's taking me around a few hours to build a level though and I've been thinking about a level editor which I could also release with the game which in turn would be extremely fun to see what people come up with. This will have to be really in depth but here's a start! You can select blocks, now I need to make it so you can add blocks, should be fun.

You could build everything in basic blocks and combine them to complex blocks later, for example holding ctrl key and select two blocks.

Holy .. that's an amazing idea. I have to give this a shot at least. Also another quick update: (Sorry about the amount of gifs on this page..)

Update #4:Okay so I've been working pretty hard on this and this is the first time I've ever truly attempted a fully fledged level editor, feels like I'm getting somewhere. I've added player spawns which you can move around. Selecting a block will now bring up its position and rotation which you can change and.. you can now add a trigger! So when you add a trigger, it becomes a "Wired" block. You can give it either a switch or a button trigger and set its offset when that selected trigger is on. The "None" bit drops down with all the current switches in the level you've made. Pretty neat. Oh you can also add blocks and scroll to change which block you're adding. Apart from that, I've actually made a lot of progress on saving and loading levels. I plan for people to be able to publish their level to a server that holds all of them and for players to browse and download levels (automatically, of course). Good progress today, I need to make some UI elements but I'm getting excited to use this level editor!
