New Beginnings

It's time to put everything I learnt last semester to good use. In the last post I mentioned it's a new semester, which means a new game. At the moment I am working on a side-scrolling run 'n gun style game.

Basically the player plays as Agent Hank Malone and he is out to rescue Secret Agent Princess. The story will be your typical shoot up the bad guys and save the pretty lady(who doesn't like saving her) from the evil villain. The player will have a large assortment of weapons to use to create havoc and kill anyone standing in the way. The player will be able to run, jump and shoot, for now that is all the actions that can be performed.

Currently we have two levels in mind. The first starts out in a train yard where the player has to work their way through the hordes of enemy attacks to get to the next level. At the end of the level there will be a Boss Battle (still to be decided) and then on to the next level. The second level will be a little trickier. The player climbs aboard a moving train and has to make their way to the front of the train without being killed by enemies or falling off the train. There will be carriages the player will have to jump onto roof by roof or climb into and walk through the carriage. Once the player gets to the end, there will be another boss battle. Defeat this boss and save the girl.

That's the new game in a nutshell. Really looking forward to working on this game. Hoping I'll get to do more animation that last semester, which I think I will. I'll keep you posted on our work through-out the semester.
