First time with WebGL


So, for this new game, one of my biggest inspirations were these crisp platformers that would make playing the game feel really good. However, platforming in and of itself became boring so in order to make this more exciting, I decided to look into adding more things for the player to do to kind of "overwhelm" them into learning and adopting the necessary skillset and then excelling at the game.



Some of my initial sketches of the idea with Figma


In order to start on this project, something I needed to get right from the get-go was the movement and that led me to GMTK's amazing video about platformer dynamics and using this as a baseline project, set out to create a concept MVP. This current iteration is then the first vertical slice that (albeit not super polished) shows two different drawing modes where one is just a single block at a time whereas the other is a pen with which you can draw with your mouse button held down. The gameplay of the current state can be seen below
