Added platforms that you can jump onto from the bottom, but proper collision detection still needs to be worked on.

#gamedev #SFML

Added spikes.

#gamedev #SFML

Level resets when you fall off screen.

#gamedev #SFML

Engine now supports multiple levels.

#gamedev #SFML

Implemented a level format and a scrolling camera.

#gamedev #SFML

Added platforms. To stand on. There are also platforms offscreen to prevent the character from falling in the "transition zone" between wrapping to the other side of the screen. Something to keep in mind when implementing an actual level format and level editor.

So, writing a Metal Storm clone is just way to complex for me right now, so I'm working on a vertically scrolling platformer instead (something like Kid Icarus). This is what I got so far. You can disappear from one side and reappear from another.

#gamedev #SFML

I'm probably going to scrap this project and work on something simpler. The whole changing gravity mechanic became way to complex. I only got the idea because @binkle suggested a VVVVVV clone and @ItsSkyDragonz suggested a MegaMan style game. I thought I could combine both, but it just got confusing writing code for both gravitational states.

I though instead I could just make a vertically scrolling platformer, kind of like Kid Icarus, but maybe without the RPG elements.

#gamedev #SFML

Inverted platforms have now been implemented.

#gamedev #SFML

Added platforms that you can jump onto from the bottom. Now, I need to implement an inverted version for when the gravity is inverted.

#gamedev #SFML

Added knockback and support for multiple levels.

#gamedev #SFML

I've been experimenting with jumping in addition to the changing gravity mechanic. I'm not sure if I'm going to include both though.

#gamedev #SFML

Added upside-down turrets.

#gamedev #SFML

Added turrets.

#gamedev #SFML

You can now shoot up (or down if gravity is inverted).

#gamedev #SFML

Upside down enemies have now been implemented.

#gamedev #SFML

Enemy now shoots when in line of sight of the player.

#gamedev #SFML

Levels are now loaded from a file.

#gamedev #SFML

Enemy now moves back and forth, and is animated.

#gamedev #SFML

Created the first enemy. It currently does nothing, but you can kill it.
