It's been 3 months since I started the project, on a really LOW rate of work, but still, the game is getting done.

And I'm really happy that recently a close friend of mine offered to help! So now, the dev team has grown to 2!

I gave him the task of 3d rendering and animation(maybe modeling later). Sent him a model of one low level enemy of the game, and the render pictures so far look great.

(But before you start asking, the game is a 2d side scroller, but supports ANY resolution, so detail is a must on the sprites)

Look what he's been able to pull off:

{"name":"599613","src":"http:\/\/static.allegro.cc\/image\/cache\/d\/8\/d893bae561a24396f7a43a8b73cdebba.jpg","w":800,"h":600,"tn":"http:\/\/static.allegro.cc\/image\/cache\/d\/8\/d893bae561a24396f7a43a8b73cdebba"}

(Oh, the character has no body... I don't know if these liveforms will need one it's one of the main issues that we're discussing)

Also, a pretty impressive render of the shoes(though I doubt its usefullness in a 2d side scroller, but hell, it might work just nice in a cutscene video)

{"name":"599614","src":"http:\/\/static.allegro.cc\/image\/cache\/f\/6\/f6803578a5c74fd8309754677c8a55c4.jpg","w":1022,"h":764,"tn":"http:\/\/static.allegro.cc\/image\/cache\/f\/6\/f6803578a5c74fd8309754677c8a55c4"}

And of course, you're all waiting for a game screenshot... But sorry, the sprites are still the development ones and haven't implemented the renders.

{"name":"599615","src":"http:\/\/static.allegro.cc\/image\/cache\/8\/b\/8b108f0fc33293a11bfe414e6b67d53f.jpg","w":1026,"h":769,"tn":"http:\/\/static.allegro.cc\/image\/cache\/8\/b\/8b108f0fc33293a11bfe414e6b67d53f"}

In case you're wondering what's the weird aura about the character, it's its Telekinesis Range.

A short overview of the game's content: It's 2d Side Scroller Platformer with a really strong emphasis on Realistic(depends on the situation ) Physics Puzzle, including lots of eye-candy effects, going from realistic particles, ragdoll animations, dark lighting engine and object shadows. Main character has the ability to use Telekinesis.

The main story... nah, I won't spoil it.. hell, there's no story still but we have some good ideas.

I think I might get working on this more often now that someone has offered help. I have PLENTY of free time(16 years old, hi-school is no problem) to get to it.
Now, I know in the past I've posted many projects here that died horribly(and I suppose many of you suffered the same), BUT, I think this one is the difference, because it's a game I really love, and had much fun with it(I played once for about an hour just tossing a ragdoll in the air).

If you've read all of my rants, then thanks for reading

EDIT: Oh, and before you start wondering, I thought of the game idea myself. If anyone has ever created a really similar game, then it's a game I don't know about, so don't flame the entire topic because of that, ok?

From all that I've read, you have more of a physics engine rather than a game at this point. I think that's been done before.

But on a more related note, good job on getting some progress done! Having a passion for a project is a huge source of motivation, but the really problem is when you run into the drab stuff, liking putting in a user friendly UI. This will sap energy pretty quickly. Move as fast as you can while your riding the wave of high motivation, I say.

Congratulations. You've just left high school so you've got oodles of time.

Good luck!

Looks look like Prince of Persia, Out of this World. Its nice though, I guess you may enjoy the aesthetics of old school gaming.

Good job! The world wasn't seen a good side-scroller in a while! Keep up the good work!
