Henry Hoffman's Game Art and Design

After years of creating artwork for games I decided to learn Python programming in my spare time. This is currently a sidescrolling platform game prototype using the Blender Game Engine. It's at a very early stage and is slightly buggy though I'll be working on this for several weeks to ensure it's suitably polished.

Features:

• Left and right movement
• Single and double jump
• Easing camera. Tilts in direction of play. Invisible square with no camera position change.
• Destroyable boxes from underneath
• Collectable coins with GUI counter
• Dynamic moving platforms. No IPO's. Physics objects stick.
• Dynamic enemies that move left and right. No IPO's. Detect obstacles and stop.
• Health GUI. Dynamic player vertex colour change on health deduction.
• Dynamic objects locked to X and Z axis'
• Water

Todo:

• Fix jump reset when play origin Zaxis not inline with floor
• Fix buggy platforms
• Create level beginning/end camera locks
• Change camera to place player in bottom third intersection furthest from direction of play
• Make objects not directly touching platform still affected (i.e. a box on a box)
• Make vertex colour changes fade in and out
• Health GUI counter dynamic vertex colour fade (green>red)
• Loads more cool stuff (springs, powerups, switches, doors, etc)
