Unknown's Discovery Development

The first look at my game! We're starting another project now but I'm definitely going to develop this in the future. Admittedly, it is not very long and doesn't look like I've put too much work into it but that's because it took so long to just get the tile map.

This is my completed tile map. It includes a dragon statue that I will expand on once I figure out cutscenes. For now you just walk past it.

Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (I think) - Again, mostly simple. It fits with the game as the face of it is right there in the picture.

Not using this just using it as a tutorial for myself

I want a pixel font as my game is a pixel art game and I feel it would be out of place otherwise.

In the idle animation video, the animations are shown to be truly unique to the character and what their personality is. It truly shows how much of an importance animating based on the character is. In the evolution of jump animations about Sonic video, it shows how little effort gets put in over time. It mostly seemed to get worse and worse, with a few exceptions obviously. In the Crash Bandicoot death animation comparison video, it shows how in remakes you can really develop the original ideas. Having different death animations for different situations that are unique to the character AND still using those ideas in the remake really gives a feeling of nostalgia, as if you were playing the original game.

Here are three tile maps. Donkey Kong, Mega Man and Super Mario. Super Mario reuses certain assets like the bush to create the clouds. This saves a lot of time because you can just copy and paste and re color.

The three examples are Mario, Mega Man and Scott Pilgrim.

Crash Bandicoot. In Crash, there is no such thing as a health bar. You take one hit, you will die and restart.

Single Hit - Kirby. Kirby has no real distinct way to show health. It seems to change from game to game.

Collectables are what a protagonist in a game collects throughout it. In my game a good example of this would be the dragon scales or notebook pages. In other games, like Donkey Kong, Resident Evil 4, DOOM (2016), Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Fallout 3. In Donkey Kong Country 3, you can collect DK Coins throughout the level. This fits Donkey Kong because they're DK Coins and are named after the characters in the game themselves. In Resident Evil 4, you "collect" Blue Medallions. In my opinion these don't exactly fit the game as it is mostly supposed to be a dark survival horror but I can't complain about it. In DOOM (2016), you collect action figures of the Doom Slayer himself. Like DK Coins in Donkey Kong, this fits the theme perfectly as it is the exact character you play as. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has a Gold Bolt collectable. This fits the theme as a ratchet is a tool used to allow for turning in one direction only, for example used on spanners/wrenches, which can be used to tighten bolts. In Fallout 3 you collect bobble heads of I believe Vault Boy however I am unsure. This fits because it is one of the main attributes of the game, seeing this boy around everywhere, sometimes even on the face of the Fallout games themselves.

A few videos and an article about animation and how it works (I'll actually watch/read these when I get home today, I have difficulty concentrating on videos and it would be better if I took my time about it.)

Added my tile map into the game! I still need to add a few assets like some sort of damaging thing that isn't the void (I'll add the full tile map as an image once I have completed my other assets).
