A Thing!

Glimmer (wip)

Simple platformer as practice and transition to the more difficult ones I keep coming up with. Because I am crazy.

This one is about a little girl made of light in a land of shadows. She must progress through the levels, pacifying or hiding from the inhabitants to find her way back home.

The circle of light in her health, it shrinks when damaged by enemies. When it depletes, she is transported to a room of doors. It will save the progress of completed levels, but she'll have to redo the one she was in when she died.

So far I just have the shadows and movement, sort of. It's coming along though.

For those interested, to prove I am doing things, what I have is in the image caption. Ready to play, but not much to actually do.

Her abilities are not in yet, but she will be able to charge her light to damage enemies and snuff her light to hide (turning her three-hit health to one until she turns her light back up).

The enemy only moves back and forth, but touching him will damage her. I have a lot more to do, but the graphics will be monotone and basically what you see here. Only nicer, hopefully. She'll be all white with black eyes (inverted while hiding) and enemies will be black with white eyes (inverted while pacified). There will be more to the background too.

Not sure how to handle the tips for controls yet, and what the intro will be, but it's a start. And in-engine, at that. = )
