Dev. Diary One Project brawler Con

Project brawler Con is the working title of my next game. It will be a old school Beat 'em up in the spirit of older games like golden ax, river city ransom, and even some newer ones like castle crashers. So were am I development wise? Pretty good actually. I started with the movement which is 8 way directional and allows for wall sliding so it feels smooth. In addition you can jump and land on platforms with a different height than the ground.
Deciding this was a good point to stop I played some games for reference. I'm glad I did.
 Coming back I shifted the perspective to be near isometric (2:1) and cut the players vertical speed in half to mach the shift. I also added the ability to sprint and some very basic game pad support.

 Next time I should have some fighting in there but this is all for now.

Little big planet 2 levels


I'm a big fan of little big planet 1 & 2 and have been creating levels for some time.
One thing I try to always remember when I'm making a level is to try and do something different every time.
I've created many levels but I have only published three levels to date:
Based on the story "At the mountains of madness" by h. p. lovecraft this beautiful and unsettling level will take you up the mountains and beyond.Queen Bee's Honey RaveSack boy is invited to queen bee's honey rave but will you make to the party before it's to late? find your way through a truly beautiful level inside an amazing bee hive to find out in this fanciful multi-stage adventure from sonicrumpets!
