Gold Bug

Finished the game and posted it to Game Jolt. The game is a puzzle platformer without a jump mechanic. I added some meaning to the game, and it now includes a boss battle. It is about 15 minutes of total play time. Hope you enjoy.

Video Game Week

We had another great video game design week at my school. Most students were quite successful. I made a platformer without a jump mechanic.

Platformer Engine

I am making a new platformer engine for my students to build off of. The art assets come from opengameart.org. Here is my progress so far.

Update #7

Added:

• New lighting system (maybe too dark)
• Asian themed levels (story about enlightenment)
• Water Mechanic
• Voice acting
