Introduction to Video Game Design

I got some really good feedback, players did like the Mirror’s Edge feel to the game with hard jumps and the enemy placement. The SFX was also good. But I needed a goal post so it doesn’t feel anticlimactic, as well as better positioning on some platforms.
Finished the first level of my Godot game, added some music and sfx that fit the theme I’m going for, as well as 2 more platforms to jump to from the crane, and adjusted the speed the character and enemy are going a little so it can feel a lot faster.

here is some gameplay of my game For week 2 i decided on adding an enemy and downloaded a 3d model of a crane that the player can jump on alwell as some more platforms
Here is my scene so far. I decided on making a game like Mirror’s Edge, where you are running on top of buildings with some platforming.
i got some great feedback for my project, a lot having to do with clarity of the game, whether it be with some people not knowing where to go or things not being visibly clear, like the sprites being difficult to see due to it blending with the background. Some also said that the game is difficult due to the movement speed while having single blocks. People liked the rotating skulls, but the enemy sprites needed more work to make it clear what exactly you are avoiding.
i got 2 fairly short levels done, with the first one being fairly simple and easy to complete, but the 2nd being a lot harder if you are trying to collect all the skulls. made it so some bats also move sideways in the air, so there is a little more enemy variety.

This week i made a lot more sprites and animations for the game decided to go with a spooky theme, which is why we have the character we play collecting skulls while we try to avoid rats and bats. i also started making the first part of the level, with it being somewhat challenging right off the bat.
This is my character sprite. I created a traveler with a large backpack to make it look unique. made some nice idle, walk, and jump/landing animations as well as a dark map

People enjoyed the story, but it could be longer. They also enjoyed the animated sprites alongside the spooky theme. One piece of feedback that’s really important was that dialogue didn’t change, so the 2 planned endings weren’t working as planned.
I decided on making my game about you having to do your job as a janitor, you’ll also be meeting some interesting characters as you attempt to figure out what’s going on in room 2b. for week 2 i added a bunch of rooms; only 5 are actually explorable and 2 characters will be adding more rooms and characters as i continue working on it.
