Downtime & Holidays

I've been sick and unable to work on the game, so I don't have much to post this time.
Merry belated Christmas and a happy New Year. I'm going to take the time to sort out the problems I've run into before getting too sick to work on things, and now that I can function, will be trying to move things farther along...

The adventure begins

Hi. I'm Richard Marks and I'm going to be writing about game programming on this little blog here. More importantly, I'm going to be writing tutorials and stuff to teach you, how to make a game. The first tutorial/course can be found here https://richardmarks.github.io/gpa-box-avoider/ The mini game project that the course was based on can be found here http://play-box-avoider.surge.sh/ and the full source code for the game may be found here https://github.com/RichardMarks/gp-course-example-game-box-avoider

We're going to dive in with both feet and build a 2D side-scrolling beat em up game next. Different from the last approach, I'm going to incrementally build up the project and share it's development here. I'm working first on the game's assets and I've got a few things to show. The game will take place in a single simple urban alley environment at night. I could have spent a lot more time refining this environment, adding more objects, clutter, and making it feel alive, but then I remembered the purpose here is to teach how to make a game, not make the next big hit. So I'm stopping here. It's good enough for the needs of the project. Seen in the image above are a few crates and garbage cans which the player will eventually be able to destroy by punching or kicking them. Looking at it as I write this, I think the scene is slightly too dark, so I may go adjust the brightness of the assets at some point... The next step was making the character...
