I would prefer other textures, some others would prefer another character ... someone will prefer another gameplay ...

I realize that we should let Superku finish the game, and just suggest ideas at the end perhaps.

----------

I prefer the character like that compared to a robot.
It's somewhat cute and cool , more alive !

I may redo the player model but only to refine it and improve animations, I won't replace Superku. I don't think that a robot would be a good choice, too, thanks for the tip, though.


Some updates:
- The game has a new look. The whole setting is now a really old film, including a sepia color scheme, random film scratches (not so easy with post processing), subtle screen flickering and noise:



- There are now unlimited levels - parts of them repeat unless you go the right way.
- A reworked menu.
- Detailed statistics and best times.
- A ghost script: Complete a level successfully (with a new best time) and a ghost file will be saved. When you try the level again, the ghost will run along and show you how you got the best time.
Because the default transparency does not look good when it comes to overlaying faces, I've written my own "smooth" transparency effect:


(just noticed that bright model parts are too opaque)

Very impressive keep up the good work

ok well the robot wouldnt fit this style, plus i only suggestd robot because i had opened a screenshot of your game and i was wondering what level style would fit, then i noticed the star-like in the background and i got this space theme in my mind and figured a character with a whitish/grey/ black and white theme would look nice, hence i thought of some robot or atleast superku in a space suit with a bubble helmet...

you are the designer afterall, was only sharing my thoughts, see the thing is with the digital checkbox looking style, it looks like it was done to avoid doing alot of work in that area rather than to look simple, it looks simple but maybe its because i cant tell what each background is that it doesnt work well with me

am liking the newer screens though and hey if am the only one with this opinion then it doesnt mean much

Great , but just my taste :
Like in Mass Effect could we choose options for the post processing effect ?
I would like to play it with that color and grain effect only , but i wouldn't like to have :
- random film scratches
- subtle screen flickering and noise
Just my taste, i hope it will be on otpions.Perhaps also choose a color for the grain among 4 or more ?

Keep it up !

damn I want to play a demo version of that!

Absolutly superb work Felix ... Cant wait to play the Final Version.
Gameplay looks alot like New Super Mario Bros and you did a great work on that.

I would stick with the simplistic art style. Perhaps add coder style effects and such, but I wouldn't worry too much about color.

The old film / sepia effect looks cool, but I'm not sure if the entire game should look like that.

So far so good. Keep up the progress and good work.

Yeah, a new video is here (3 levels, basic menu):
