Build 2 is now complete and ready to be packaged and play-tested.
Everything on the Build 1 feedback to-do list has been done, meaning I have made tweaks to character speed, jumps, weight and gravity appropriately with the feedback I was given. All of the bugs have been fixed and new mechanics have been added, these mechanics being the wall jump and air dodge.
Players now have a small objective to complete if they wish to do so. There are 9 red gems hidden around the play-testing area that they can find.
A pause menu has also been added as an ease of access for players to quit the game more naturally and easier, rather than having to Alt + F4.
 |
| Double Jumping now has a separate tutorial message at the starting area. One player in particular didn't realise you could double jump, so this will be a nice placeholder to teach play-testers. When I have designed a level, double jumping will be shown to the player in a better, more natural and interactive way. |
 |
| The very same player thought the red section of the level was dangerous due to it's colour, even though there aren't any hazards yet. This section has been changed to a much more friendly green. |
 |
| This area is dedicated to letting the player know you can wall jump. When the player collides with a wall a particle effect will spawn, hopefully notifying the player they can do something with the wall they just jumped into. |
 |
| Simple pause menu for play-testers ease of access to quit the game after they are done. The placeholder music lowers when paused. No particular reason, I just like it when games do that. |
Play-testing will commence as soon as the game is packaged. I will collect feedback the same way as I did in the last play-test.
