One of the side projects I have going right now is a Side Scroller inspired by Duke Nukem Manhatten Project. I am helping out with is designing and lighting up the game. The idea is going trough concept phase right now, and we have given ourselves 60 days to complete the project, due to other commitments all of us have the first 30 days of August. The purpose is to learn together with a group of other people, looking to improve their skills.
So far I am brainstorming and pitching some mechanics which are poorly sketched, here are some examples.
As you can see there are some core feedback loop going on using movement mechanics, and additionally I have suggested the use of a Speed Injection, which is meant to slow the players time, to make it easier to tackle more complex scenarios featuring more of above obstacles and challenges.
Of course, this is all very early stages and people might drop out, including me, for various of reasons but I thought I would give it a try.
Besides that we have set up a preforce using amazon services and connected it directly in to Unreal Engine, which is what we will be using for this particular project.
Stick around for future updates regarding this project.
