Week 9 brought walk cycles and sprite sheets. I was tasked to choose between being a character designer or an environment designer. I chose to be an environment designer, requiring me to make 2 environmental hazards, an exploding effect, a projectile item and a selection of collectables (minimum 2 collectibles). For my first environmental hazard, […]

I took the idea […]

https://blazing-hydra.itch.io/horse-skateboards Above is the link to my platformer prototype; horse skateboards. This is the fourth and final prototype I was tasked to make.

This would be one of the more difficult games for me to make as it contains lots of elements I had not used yet. As usual, the first thing to […]
