I've done a lot of work since the last time I posted about this project, including refinements to character movement and animation as well as camera movement.

I also have improved on the design of the first level, which can be seen in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFLSDNVuBEI

My next goal is to make an intro/tutorial level that teaches the controls and helps set up the plot. After that I am going to begin recording the music tracks I've written to replace the Metroid/Kirby/Final Fantasy music I've been using!

you are really making great progress. good luck!

It's great! .

Great progess

You could just try to find someone to code a more smoother camera !

Yes, I am planning to implement simple obstacle-avoidance AI to make the camera follow Supercat more smoothly without flying through walls (if it doesn't have to). I'm hoping to achieve cinematic-style camera angles while maintaining user control over the view; like what Super Mario 64 would be if translated to WASD + Mouse controls!

Nice indeed...
The robot movement is a bit too natural I guess... Theyre suppossed to be more awkward in my opinion

For the camera i meant, to avoid the FPS camera and make a fast progressive acceleration when it rotates, not a direct rotation at key press.

Well for the robot it's movement is not smooth , so yes it is more mechanical and not natural at all already.
But they are robots like cyborgs that moves anutrally also

Good level design! I like the sound effects.

Looks even cooler.
Can't wait for the demo!!

My next goals are to write the code necessary to have cutscenes (rendered in the engine, not as a video file) and then to make a tutorial level.

Once I do these I'll upload a demo version; hopefully I'll have time to do it this week!
