Bits and Glitches: So why the snake?

So, I'm answering an unanswered question: Why am I using Python and Debug to make a game and not something sensible like... say...

Unity or Unreal.

For a while I've been contemplating doing a project in a different engine, such as Godot or Unreal. It's not too much of a daunting task to take on these challenges. However, this is more of a language learning exercise rather then a gameplay exercise.

THAT BEING SAID!
I've implemented a few rooms and methods to get around. On top of this, I've placed a few commands in that aren't told to the player (let alone, I don't think they should be, but should be explored).

I'll have more cool things for you next week.

It's been a while...

It's been about a month or so since I've updated here. No, I'm not dead. Currently, I've been assigning my personal resources to build a new game, and thus have not been building any one month builds. Progress with this next project is coming along quite well... Minus some issues here and there. So let's talk about "Project Mech"shall we? Project Mech is an extension from a prior prototype that I've built which was designed around the hacking mini-game from Nier:Automata. Inside this game, you play in a mech shooting up aliens that are hell bent on destroying you. Yes, small story premise, but the story of this game is supposed to be simple and corny so I can experiment with game-play instead. Ideally, I'd like to experiment more with video game narrative, though that is a different long form project. This project will NOT support building a controller, though I'd like to implement that some other time. I'll add some screenshots later

Motion Check: The intro

Oh boy, here we go again. Another one month build and this time I've decided to handy cap myself big time. Let's start those rules up! Create a movement system in Unreal Engine 4 Allow for sliding, long jumping, sprinting and crouching Allow for sliding, wall running, and wall hopping (Akin to Titanfall 2)  And now for the BONUS ROUND Let's start it up with better guns, allowing weapon swapping an ammo create a melee attack that works So far, I've got the running, walking, crouching and aiming done. First trick: using a basic UE4 FPS project and learning how to use the Blueprint system in UE. This makes my life five times easier due to my memory of C++ being terrible. I'm going to need to repair my computer and get this laptop I'm currently using UE4. That's right, the running and crouching were put in before my machine decided to flip me the middle finger before the motherboard decided to scream for a new battery. Oh boy, I'm looking f

Puzzzling Motion - The next 1 month build intoduction

How do you design a puzzle game? What kind of puzzles do you put in a puzzle game? Is Physics involved? Complicated mathematics? or the ability to think outside the box in such a way that you are playing Antechamber? Or maybe you disguise your puzzles by utilising the world design like in Mirror's Edge and Portal games? hehe... Oh gods why (Antechamber) So where do you begin? I'm going to take this one month project to build a puzzle game based on motion. Let's start with everyone's favourite, baseline goals: Players must be able to move around to get to an objective The puzzles must be based on movement, pressing a button, flipping a switch, and then moving to the next puzzle  There must be materialistically, one level As always, we have our bonus round: up to 5 levels Parkour based movement An "open" area for testing out motions to better grasp motion mechanics. Now, where are where are we at the start? The first person characte
