Romeo has died, but his love has not.
Even after death he is still after Juliet.
A sequel to Romeo and Juliet.
A Metroidvania in Metroidvania-Maker Pencil-Vania
5 years of idea collecting to make a masterpiece by a developer with 150,000 hours experience. 3 years into idea collecting 12/4/21.
I’m writing this game as the best I have to offer as a lifelong skill gamer, game designer, programmer, and lover of goodness and love. This underworld world of the dead will be very dark, but the moral is to not stop fighting for goodness and love ever! This game design helps me cope with a lost girlfriend because you never get over the good loves. I want people who never loved, got cheated on, got used, got abused, or despair, to play this fantasy game, and inside them get a righteous fury for the cause of good which wells up and forges a real indomitable spirit that the real devil can never break, and the real God can use for his purposes.
Just designing this game gives me solace. It may take 5-10 years or more, but this is my masterpiece attempt.
FEATURES:
Roguelite: Proceedural & Static levels.
Themes like original Castlevania 1.
Daily competitive speed runs on same seed. You get to watch ghost players on other shards as you play.
Health/Spirit(mana)/Stamina/Hunger/Thirst/Light/Sanity bars. 7 bars.
When sanity gets low, trippy things happen like hallucinated enemies that deal real damage.
Romeo and Juliet characters resolving, Biblical characters, Pop cultural characters.
Random ideas:
Dragula car, if get in, you fight every enemy & boss in entire game all at once.
Disease: Lemursy – If you contact Lemursy, you start spawning Lemurs.
Match 3 level. A level where the pieces are match 3 while you fight around em.
Brain slug enemy attaches to head and you have to jump against a ceiling/wall to bash it off.
Castlevania IV style whip throw around you and latch onto stuff.
Befriend a big fat dragon with small wings and he has to flap really fast to move, and obviously strains.
Fires do burn damage. Ice damage while burning reduces both ice damage and burn damage.
A labyrinth zone.
Feed animals to befriend em or placate them to get by.
NOW YOU MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND MY NOTES, but at least fathom they’re 5 years deep, the culmination of a man called a Renaissance developer 120,000 hrs game design, coding , gaming, CANCELLED UNPAID despite making games that made millions of dollars for the publishers.
Again… You may not understand my notes, but look how many from THE #1 Developer for many metrics, the #1 gamer of all time:
LOOK AT THE SHEER AMOUNT OF IDEAS!!!

You made me think of those trippy D&D rune pages… What if there was an orbit on them, and as the orbit went around, some got different biases of power… One mage could accelerate or decelerate the orbit… But the orbits themselves could mean stuff too, like the years and players age as they fight for magic advantage of runes, or one could change seasons, or the tide which could also alter the battle right there… Rapidly changing seasons as you fight a boss battle could get sick… Ok, this is going in After Juliet…

Creep guys in game like Shakespeare who do love wrong
Final stage before hell pits: Castlevania 2 kneel, or Strangelove ending or moordork ending
Thoreau and Longfellow.
Charles Algernon Swinburne.
Shakespeare (note spelling) is not gothic ( in style or period); he is not even of the Renaissance, which ended about the time of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. But Juliet is a case of a sort of Premature Burial, a theme well used by Poe. You might read Hugo’s ‘The Hunchback of Norte Dame,’ Hawthorne’s ‘Rappaccini’s Daughter,’ the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, perhaps Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula.’, the myth of Persephone and Hades, maybe read Macbeth and Hamlet for the supernatural elements. You might consider Dante’s’Inferno’ and Goethe’s ‘Faust.’
Dear God,
I love you.
I do not have idolatry of games.
I love you God.
I want to make money on games.
Then I will help the poor and my family.
I am not looking for a extravagant lifestyle, nor do I have the motive of more money will help me find a wife.
I do think video game girls would dig me making a game tho, but only to a small extent.
I like making video games even if money isn’t made. It is what I like to do.
Help Steve and I make a great game. Help us have friendship that grows. Help this be a master piece.
Help us design the story.
Help us design the game mechanics.
Help us design the stage.
This is a game about love and losing one’s life but not losing the love. I hope this stokes Jesus and isn’t offensive. This game is about staying pure when the world around you is going corrupt. The way to win is by faith, love, (skill video game of couse), and staying true to your original love.
God help us. We want you to live and breathe with us as we make this game. We can’t do anything with out you. Help us.
God help us all. We’ll help people once we can get things going in our own lives and our family’s lives.
Amen,
James

Another bad 80s movie that I love. Im sorry, but I can watch this movie over and over and still have more fun than watching the Daniel Craig movies. I want the over the top Bond that loves what he does, not the dour Bond that hates his own existence.

The Moore movies are more fun and campy with gadgets and spy stuff. The Connery movies are better suspense type movies. Totally different but all good

With modern knowledge of psychology that Tolkien may have knew some, but not the whole picture, we can then see where he is directing the reader’s mind to.

Then hopefully take that and see if it is applicable beyond the written word.

Ok Jimmy. It has been a long time since I read The Hobbit, but I did take a minute to skim through this first chapter again. Tolkien, to me, is a master of incorporating literary devices with fantasy and reality. He makes up words I.e. flummoxed, confusticate, bebother, and estimable. But he does so in a way that the reader can understand the meaning from context – at least I could. His use of imagery abounds and so does his use of onomatopoeia, and through all of these delightful tactics, he presents a journey – a journey in which the characters will confront good and evil, and as he points out, may never return which to me is the journey of life. This right now is a most simplistic formula. As for a deeper more intense formula, I will have to read on. But actually I can see similarities with the adventures of Beowulf and Odysseus. I truly see this journey or struggle through life, but with no escape because no matter what we do, it all ends up in the same way leading to death- hence the existential philosophy as presented in Waiting for Godot.

Couple other things I might throw into this equation. I actually see Tolkien’s formula or pattern as more linear than circular. I certainly am not a math of science major, but many authors base their philosophical beliefs on mathematical theories. Thus Tolkien sees life as basically a line with occasional curves but ultimately leading to the same end while other writers see life as a more continuous circle. One other thing that leads me in this linear pattern is his symbolism. His reference to the # 13 is the ultimate symbol of death. So these are just a couple ideas to toss around. As far as his sentence structure and his combination of prose and poetry, I see that as his delightful play of words.
You sent
Heh, I think its funny, you can’t stop but go through the over arching meaning of his works. For that regard: Both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were staunch Christians and best personal friends. Mere Christianity til this day still converts many intellectuals.
You sent
Both Tolkien and C.S.Lewis present the downlow of human existence under a creator: You don’t know if you’ll succeed or fail, but fight on as if you have already won. Your battle is irrelevant, the war is won on the cross. The idea of bravery no matter what is great.
You sent
Yes, it is wise of you to see his word play.
You sent
Both CS Lewis and Tolkien would sit around and read amateur poetry of the day and have fun with it aka grill or roast it. Cuz they were poetic masters who though their prose elicited imagination through fanciful words, they did it by an underlying almost equation.
You sent
People who see things in life often confuse art with science. User interface is one of those. I had a talk with ebay where I helped em a lot. Some people see the art of like facebook interfaces or twitter or ebay and think it is an art domain, but really it is a science with window dressing.
You sent
When you look at a house, do you see the frame underneath, the wiring, plumbing, roof, foundation, or do you see the nice lattice and stone work on the outside.
You sent
So you actually in your round about way of talking, brought up the interesting idea, of Tolkien having a formula for not just making hard to understand words understandable, but maybe his very poetry has a ‘formula’. The problem is that word formula often is construed with the idea of predictability. Maybe instead of saying formulaic for his system, maybe guidelines.
You sent
For one to say that Tolkein’s writing was predictable or in a pattern is like a sin, because it is completely the opposite.
You sent
But like a fractal is a simple formula that produces great beauty, I was wondering maybe we could crack some code there. I mean definitely… Definitely if we could figure out how he makes big words seem understandable, that could be relevant to speaking and presenting new ideas, or even old ideas that people have not heard before(Gospel).
You sent
I’m not sure his entire poetry part and whimsical could be cracked, but it’s a nice bonus to maybe flirt with as we try and figure out how he makes big words sound easy to understand.
You sent
Man, I’m writing a book right here, lol.
You sent
I think how we maybe approach this is just skim for big words and see if he contextualizes em

Unlosable fight begins.
Doggo ok, wake everyone up.
Playable characters when get—-
Marylyn Mundane, If flirted with, still win game, but Juliet says,”I can read you Romeo. Was there something going on with you an Marylyn?”
Romeo,”No” same time as
Maryln says,”No.”
Next linek
Marylyn,”We come from two different worlds. We could never be together. I like what is beautiful and he likes ugly things…”
Marylyn,”Oh… I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to sound rude Juliet.”
Juliet looks to Romeo out of shock and he goes for a kiss.

->CANNOT EVER GO BACK! It can never travel to the same place it has been on Earth ever.
->Can stop tho
->A munster falls off, and you gotta save em.

->ALSO Since it cant go back, you have to freaking tron some levels, and the only way out is freaking turbo boosting
off a cliff.
->Herman,”OH NO! We traveled the same place on Earth.”

Herman,”You know… Mutiny is not something our evil masters will ever forgive us for eternity?” ->Mostly hard punches
…When frustrated (often), he tends to stamp like a child having a tantrum causing plaster to shower down from the ceiling.
->In Dragula may start this and Lily will say,”Herman, stop that,etc” And he’ll be like,”You’re right, that’s the wrong way to focus my anger.” and turn gleaming red.
Grandpa,”So lets not screw this up.” ->Flame thrower [Burn through the witches]“born 1367–2021 and running”
Eddie,”Sha, like an eternity with only actual evil people around you wouldn’t suck anyway.” ->All kinds of ninja weapons, bites the crap out of stuff later.
Marilyn Mundane,”Yeah, I never thought of it that way. You know I always stick with you fam! Time to rally round the family and kick some ass!”->Shot gun girl, combs her hair sometimes after taking stuff out.
Lily,”I knew my daughter was a normal all along, but I still loved her despite her inadequcies.”
Grandpa,”Wait, you don’t want to do this now Lily?”
Herman,”Yeah, it like. Doesn’t seem like a great idea. Boss said I’d rule in a castle when all is said in done. I really don’t want to risk that to be stuck in the dog house of the dungeon. Where’s Spotticus going to live?”

Try it man. It’d be easy to put up some theatre backdrops like Castlevania 2 or Google: Theatre Backdrop.
Then put people who hang out of windows and drop stuff on you, or roll balls down steps, etc. You already have it all there, just slap some reskin, hell just take the google images for a prototype and send em through a gimp filter in case they go retail, lol.
[–]goodnewsjimdotcomProgrammer 1 point just now
Normally some cool patterns you gotta learn, multi forums that come with some attitude sayings, grunts, etc. Tell a story with the Boss. Maybe even have the boss say all sorts of stuff at you as you fight him. The patterns/Weakpoints, having to have to have skill to defeat it even knowing patterns and stuff is good.
Now that you talk about this, I might have a boss battle like Zoo Keeper from the Arcade(Still holds up as a bad ass video game today), and the part where you jump ledges to the top could be part of the fight. Maybe one fight is fleeing a building flooding, or burning up and you have to constantly be doing some Wizards and Warriors level jumping as you escape. Another might be just that the power is at the top, but after it is got, the sconce you get it from bursts into light so you both have to drop down and bear the consequences of who got it first. Great stuff, I’ll add it to my idea compilation on /r/afterjuliet
Bad dudes stage with background funk rythym

Steve,
After Juliet is inspired by Castlevania 1 with equipment and leveling.
You fight through some static and some procedural zones.
Bosses are fallen Biblical characters, famous historical characrs or people from Romeo and Juliet.
You are presented with choices: Gaining power by picking a corruped choice is a repeated theme. Choosing a love who is not Juliet, maybe. Eventually players will understand that they need to stay righteous and pure which might make battling more difficult, but it is the only way to win and get the good ending of reuniting with Juliet and going to Heaven from God.
It is our duty as game designers to make the battling feel crisp, not have Romeo feel super over powered or underpowered in his progression so combat takes tactics. This is an extension of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet where Romeo can get redemption. It harnesses the core feelings one should have in a battle between good and evil, almost makes you tear up as you play if we do dialogue right in his righteous choices.
So we need crisp reflex battling as our core design though players will level up differently.
Speed Running will determine if you get certain powerup(s).
For speech, all we need is a nice dialogue bubble.
Every two hours is a speed running competition(server sends out random number seed). Ghost players are seen with their place above their heads. 4pm pst is the offical one that records are kept on.
There is a beginning and end, but with some proceedural in between, it is never the same game twice. It is a reflex player’s dream game. And with the story being super gripping, it might inspire some people to walk pure and like a hero, maybe even follow Jesus. We can quote the Bible a lot.

A stage where you clone yourself and metal plays, timed tho.
Power up at loss of spirit is not a good trade.

Dark and lesson is no matter how dark, keep the fight for the cause of good.
Epilogue heavy heavy Biblical

Prophecy says if that cemetery gets opened, then we will be buried there forever. So we must oppose its opening.
Well to conquer the evil one in charge, IT MUST BE OPENED.

Real life part, come back to life talk with family.
But you can think good thoughts about Juliet, love and such, so when you return, you just smash face.
This is where your character faces a characture of the devil, who’s accusing you.
But your thoughts of pure action and deed, help you win the battle.
Something you place on Juliet’s Tomb you can take with you.
One would be a weapon of choice, another one of her keepsakes to unlock the zone where she’s at.
To return to your zone: God calls you,”Romeo, you must return to the world of the dead to save Juliet, but do not take your own life for that is a sin. Do not return to your grave, fight to the top of mount x. There angels will guard you and bear you rest for the next battle.”

Good Morning, Jimmy!!! Actually when you told me about thinking of various encounters, several popped into my mind. You mentioned Poe, and The Tell Tale Heart has a good encounter when the narrator is talking to the guy that committed the murder and then gave himself away by hearing his own heartbeat and thought it was the beating of his victim’s heart. Also in The Fall of the House of Usher when Madeline is buried alive – I think you could make some kind of weird.correlation with Juliet using your creativity.
Then in The Odyssey, Odysseus encounter with the Herpies would be a good one. Also in the Bible, you could use the escape from King Herod, and I really would love to see you incorporate something from the story of The Prodigal Son. Those are just a few ideas I thought of yesterday. I actually keep a notebook by my bed because some of my best thoughts come to me right before I go to sleep and if I don’t write them down, I will forget them the next morning.
Maybe after my project ends, we can have coffee at Panera’s and you can give me more details of your endeavors. You have yourself a good day!

You can’t turn creativity off. You can only choose not to remember what you came up with.
The secret to making great plots today is not sitting down and trying. In fact this will make terrible hokey 80s comedy plots. Just write down during the day your wonderful thoughts, jokes people say, jokes you think, revelations of double entendres we talked about in class.
If you TRY and be creative, it doesn’t work well… Just write down stuff that is cool!
Eventually you’ll have hundreds of cool events, then you just chain them together and you have the next hit movie!
Please choose to remember your creativity. Have a college ruled notebook or pro notebook to write it down if you while you score tests. :)

Major famous bosses literature
DarkRaven moon
The Transcendental Orbit of the Dark Raven Moon
Drawings on primitive walls have a moon that rises with a face down between two pillars. From the iron age, images on shields of the raven moon hailed the histories biggest empire. Tales from the dark ages invoke the dawning of the night that saved us from the laissez-faire attitude towards slackers wasting their lives on paltry non-productive endevours such as scribbling, inventing new noises and making a show of themselves. Even 500 years past they were able to know that it that eclipses the sun for the quinquennial years.
But all of these are just fanciful fairy tales for a phenomena quite boring and explained by scientists in the modern times. Opposite of orbit of the planet lies an invisible portal, a dimensional rift, a wormhole of such, that the moon passes through with its antithetical brother from another reality temporarily cuckoo-doppelganging it’s position until it cycles back through the moongate. It’s all quite basic and uninteresting when you really look at it on paper unlike the imaginative times of old. Yes, there are better things to do than ponder what the burning ravens of black fire do when they disembark the dark moon and descend upon our land. These are things science has already classified then declared base, boring and not worth further study. Resume work.

Phase1) Art collection
Go everywhere for free and cheap
art, and maybe even find artists
Phase2) Art compliation
Make sure our art looks good together. Find out what art goes with what stages, and construct some stages and proceedural modules.
Art has to be pristine, and the same style. Google: Symphony of the Night. Actually even buy it for your Xbox or PS, forget which.
Phase3) Easier-Find good music.
Castlevania/Bach/Symphany/techno/etc
I have a ton of musicians I am talking with now! This won’t be difficult to find amazing musicians. We can even inspire some as we close in on a finished product.
I have 25 gig of sound effects I downloaded last week. One of us has to go through it to find good stuff.
Phase 4) Design the World of the Dead.
There will be some proceedural. There will be some static levels.
The idea is that the World of the Dead is trying to corrupt you and change your desires, but you need to stay true to your love Juliet, wherever she is.
Intro stage would be static, an angel will say,”No matter how bad it gets down there, you can be restored to this point.”
So by default it will be perma death, but they can pay like 5 cents for continues
Some of the bosses are Montagues who died in Romeo and Juliet. :)
I have very creative, maybe twisted at first glance stuff, but really it is tame and the player has to make the right choices to not get corrupted by the World of the Dead. I was gonna spend 5-8 years compiling these stage feelings, but I can rush design and do a pretty good job once we get to this point.
Cool Feature: Since it is proceedurally generated, every 2 hours, a random seed gets sent out via server to all players. You can compete with all other players to speed run, and see ghost players on your screen where they are. The player who gets the furthest is winner of that Speed Run Royale. 4 pm PST every day, the daily Speed Run Royale is done, and records are kept for it.

That one reddit forum

Normally some cool patterns you gotta learn, multi forums that come with some attitude sayings, grunts, etc. Tell a story with the Boss. Maybe even have the boss say all sorts of stuff at you as you fight him. The patterns/Weakpoints, having to have to have skill to defeat it even knowing patterns and stuff is good.
Now that you talk about this, I might have a boss battle like Zoo Keeper from the Arcade(Still holds up as a bad ass video game today), and the part where you jump ledges to the top could be part of the fight. Maybe one fight is fleeing a building flooding, or burning up and you have to constantly be doing some Wizards and Warriors level jumping as you escape. Another might be just that the power is at the top, but after it is got, the sconce you get it from bursts into light so you both have to drop down and bear the consequences of who got it first. Great stuff, I’ll add it to my idea compilation on /r/afterjuliet
This guy gave me an idea for a level that is like a Shakesphere Theatre with thin walls and such as obsticles (reddit.com)
Magnetism comes to mind (though may be because I just finished some gmtk videos 😁) do with that what you will!
Time manipulation is a great one. Pause, slow, reverse. Actually pretty easy to setup too, but animations can be harder to do depending on how they are set up.
Elemental shenanigans. One element at a time! Pick up a thunder stone and now you can zap doors. Pick up a water stone and you can swim. Etc.
Dimensional travel. Hit a button and you are in the shadow realm, a copy of this world but dark and spooky. Or any other realm really. Multiple realms?
Portals. Nuff said, but you would be competing with portal so an uphill climb if I’ve ever heard one.
Shape change. Turn into squirrels, dogs, bears, dragons, weasels, fish. Each one does something different. Basically Mario Odessy, but with your own spin on it. Pun intended.
Gravity. Similar to magnetism, change the direction of gravity.
Level manipulation. Pause the game but able to move certain things around in the level.
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyVisors — you can change what you can see/interact with, like in Metroid Prime. It could clue you into invisible hazards or invisible passages or something. You could even have visors that block some colors of light and can be combined, or that let you see in more or less detail, etc., if you can find a way to make that actually meaningfully change the world.
Interaction with some sort of hidden world or other side or something — you can access the portals to go into the Light World (assuming the dungeon is in the Dark World), or maybe you go while keeping your form like in Link to the Past.
Flight — you can just straight-up fly anywhere. A useful end-game ability; it could even consume some sort or mana so you can only do it for a limited time. A recent game does this, combined with turning the player into a cloud that can pass through certain objects, but it would be a spoiler to reveal which one so I won’t.
Jumping — you can actually leave the ground and be higher than several times your own height! Most people can only jump a foot or so off the ground, but with this upgrade, you can even touch the ceiling sometimes! Mario does this. You may think I’m being facetious, but I think Knytt Underground doesn’t give the player the ability to jump, only to climb on any surface. I could be misremembering. But jumping could be a great early-game upgrade, and if you implement it well, you could even have a later section where you lose that ability temporarily.
Climbing — you can just climb up walls and maybe even ceilings.
Ledge grab — you can grab ledges and pull yourself up. A good early-game upgrade.
Block spawning — spawn a block you can climb, push onto switches, etc., like in Alwa’s Awakening, Link to the Past, etc. Maybe you can even explode the block to get extra height in a jump or push it hard into something or throw it over a gap or whatever.
Grappling hook — self-explanatory.
Spawning things other than blocks — self explanatory.
Shapeshifting — change your form into a dragon or a fly or whatever, like in Aquaria.
Tools — maybe you can find a wrench that lets you turn bolts, a hammer to drive in nails, etc., and these can be used to fix some structure you can use to proceed. Maybe you have to actually do this mechanically, not automatically, which means you can have puzzles that involve these tools. This kind of falls under the lock/key principle, where you have a contrived obstacle that requires a particular item to pass and the item is only useful for that obstacle, but maybe you can create enough of a variety here to escape that problem. Golden Sun has an interesting way of doing this, where the magic spells you can learn also interact with the world, and you use this to solve puzzles.
I think that’s enough for now — my food is here! Good luck!

It does so much with a simple concept, and if you haven’t played it, you should. It’s a classic.
Edit: sorry bad link. Here’s a better one to an archive of the original page where you can still download the original game. The internet is a weird place.
permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive awardreplyAs many environmental interactions as possible, make lots of situations require the use of your surroundings
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyAnything device based comes to mind. Gear that can clear pathways, open doors, or reveal hidden paths.
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyLight as mechanic as well as mood. (Photosensitive plants and animals)
Swimming/Diving?
A bit more complex: AI companion that listens to simple commands
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyMan, so many great ideas already.
I had one idea for a game where you played a character that could level up strength, dexterity or magic individually. If you leveled up strength you could smash things, move rocks, alter the environment to your advantage pretty much. This ended up being the block-mover playstyle. The dex style could jump higher and longer which eventually turned into the full range of parkour gymnastics.The magic user actually used the power of shadows, so it started with manipulating shadows sort of like the strength style but with a twist, and ended up being able to build things out of shadows and even teleport from shadow to shadow.
Pretty much it’s a good idea to build a game around an interesting exploration mechanic rather than try and jam those mechanics into a copypaste metroidvania game. I like to start off with how the player feels when they play the game and what I want their core experience to be. Celeste is a GREAT medroidvania, and that went with super tight jumping puzzles. Ori and the Blind Forest is another great game, and is far more laid back. Spelunkey has a bit of combat, but mostly it’s about falling carefully and using found tools to overcome environmental hazards.
How do you want your game to feel besides “it’s just another metroidvania”? Like what do you want your game to bring to the table to stand apart from all the other games.
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyTricking the NPCs into fighting each other so you can sneak by them. Using mind control or persuasion or bribery or whatever.
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyPlay the following games, then think of a twist for each or something they haven’t done yet:
Myst
Maniac Mansion
Lemmings
The Incredible Machine
Portal
Portal 2
Talos Principle
Museum MadnessApply these puzzle like exploration game mechanics to a Metroidvania 2D setting could be fun. I feel like combat is what breaks up the puzzle aspects of the metroidvania games. Combining challenges into future puzzles becomes more difficult.
At the end of a game each puzzle exploring game should allow the player to acquire an ability or tool to help them find pieces that they didn’t find earlier. It doesn’t have to solve a puzzle but it’s be nice to see something say “you forgot this one in this general direction” when someone is missing those last few game secrets or collectibles, etc.
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyThis reminds me of this weird exploit on Morph Ball mechanics in Metroid Fusion.
Here’s one instance of it. Right after it is this one.
I’m not saying that you should copy it 1:1, but it’s a pretty quirky way of getting around. We could get some ideas out of it.
What if you had a weapon that has a slight recoil, so when you use it downwards, you get pushed up a tiny bit? What if you could make an animation cancel mechanic so that you could do two of these mini-jumps twice in quick succession? You could hide some areas really well with this.
permalinkembedsavereportgive awardreplyyou can make pillars pop from the ground allowing you to get better height or you can make it pop up under you and use the momentum to go higher.

1) Pray. God help me push this game a long a little bit.
It will be nice to code in front of people and they see the game
progress. Most of my other games have security and stuff I don’t
want people to see. Help me help people enjoy life more.
Amen,
James
2) I need to collect art.
-> Missing the Hero’s art. I want him to look a lot like
Simon Belomont style dress… cuz like.. Romeo is about the
same time era as like the Dracula novel and Castlevania
3) Tier out the movement
4) Stages->Proceedural generation(random stages so they’re not boring)
Some statics.
One labrynth… so… My proceedural generation will have to be good.
Core Concept: Lots of reactionary moves. Like, something come in
react to it… Very very core video game stuff.
On top of a huge partially randomized(proceedure) world.
Levels proceedural, especially level 1.
Bosses Static
Vaults(AKA Angband static)
[Saved Progression hmmm]
Todo:
DONE1) get joystick in. I want XBOX 360 controllers to be the main
controller
2) Add in different moves like:
Bionic Commando hook.
Levitate [Uses Mana]Double jump
Any interesting I can think of..
Just start with plain plain Castlevania 1.
Add stuff as it seems like it could be cool.
I don’t need to make a giant procedural puzzle game
,but it could become that.
Controls:
A-Jump
X-Attack (Start out whip, hold it, latches on)
Up+X: Special attack
B-Another special
Y-Mana (spell chosen by direction)
Down, croutch
(consider a whip/Duck Tales pogo in one)
3) Skin the character to look cool like Romeo from the 1700s
*1:00 AM 7/8/2019 Contacted @Ansimuz on Twitter.
If he doesn’t get back to me, Ask on /r/gamedevclassifieds
*He got back to me: Maybe.
So what we’re looking at is if I prototype a cool game,
This guy will come on and draw my hero avatar.
So the to do will be to design/Develop around it!
4) Enable whip attack even if bad graphics
Have it register damage
5) Insert an enemy
6) Level design:
Proceedural/Boss Levels
[I want to get to procedural asap, but I want to do this one at atime
SO first Whip attack/ first Enemy]
6 bars: Health/Stamina(run/Jump)/Mana
Sanity/Hunger/Light
Health is health.
Stamina, run/jump
Mana, spells
Sanity, gets low, void creatures attack
Hunger, low, take damage over time
Light, low, vision goes out, and ambient light seen
6:59 PM 7/5/2019 Got gamepad and buttons in.
6:59 PM 7/5/2019 Grabbing snack, give me 2-3 min(took 6 min)
