Games that are similar to my own 1

terraria is a game that is in the 2D pixel artstyle. it is mostly known as 2D Minecraft but with a lot more to do, and I really like it. the selling point for this game is the amount of items and enemies to this game, there is a whole gear progression and a whole variety of bosses that you can fight and some bosses that you have to fight all in the 2D side scrolling map, and I think that is really good to make art for.

I chose this game because of the amount of things to do, and the buildings that can be made with the blocks and the amo0unt of things that you can just do that are optional is amazing. here is a gameplay video

Super Mario Maker is a strange take on a game, where you make the game and can share levels to other people all around the world. I think game is a really good idea and would do well if a third one was made for a new console, adding new items and enemies to build with. I think this game is a really good idea for how a game can be made, with the amount of themes and enemies that are able to be built with is great. the unique selling point is surprisingly the fact that you can make your own game as the game.

this game was chosen because I think this is a very different way to play game, as you make the game and can play other levels as much as you want, and I think this game is a really good idea. there has also been a goal to make an 'impossible' level, that nobody has actually been able to make.

Making A (slightly weird looking) cookie

I made this cookie in magical voxel but I'm not sure if I like it or not because I think it looks slightly odd, i think i should either use the old one to heal or change up the colors of this one

the red spot is my cursor not a dead pixel or anything

Creating a Basic Mapping

here i have made a small, yet basic test bench of a level, used for testing out the special features of this game, things like sprinting and dashing, the black area is the corrupt part that will have enemies spawning around there

the block is hidden in game and stops the player from falling of the edge.

New Blog

Win and Lose Screen?

upon winning, you are thrown into a black void that shows that text and then, after a specific delay the game restarts

the you lose screen is unimplemented, as you just restart upon death, starting an endless loop but here it is anyway. Very similar to the you win screen

here is the HUD for chrono trigger, i like the simplicity and i have used this in my final game showing only a bar and a heart

not specifically a hud, but the equip card in cuphead is nice as you can clearly see the weapons super and charm at the bottom. generally i love cupheads old timey art style.

the HUD for paper mario is intersting, i have never played the game so i dont know much about the flower or the koopa but i know of the coins and marios health displayed neatly with a little symbol showing their head, i could have done this with stuart.

here is a link to my video for game play of Stuarts cookie run

creating the UI

here is the HUD in action showing the heart and the cookie bar, used to show how many cookies you have collected

here is the code for the HUD showing that it will lock to the character and then returns the value of the cookie bar being full or not

what is a widget?

an intractable GUI element on your screen that serves only one purpose this can be a health bar, going down when you take damage or a goal bar that shows what you have to do to beat the game

[thon717-2d]

here is the HUD for dead cells, i like how its is very clear and concise an i like that it is small so it doesn't cover up the game, i used this to add a fairly small cookie bar and a heart to show you only have 1 life.

other pixel games

terraria, 2d game that is full of adventure i love it a lot im using terraria to base my little green enemy on as it seems similar to the enemy's in terraria

stardew valley, not a game that im going to base any this off of but i wanted to put it here because its really good. i love the characters the weapons the farming everything and it would be a good game to base something of as it was designed of terraria and harvest moon.

neon abyss, a fast paced 2d shooter with many upgrades to customize your fella with changing up the game with every run. i could have added some randomization to my game, but i didn't have enough time to make the green guys randomly spawn working

video research

this video is on level making, i wont use this that much because my level is just a big area as i focused on the enemy and the player, and the cookies

mega mans levels are fairly simple making use of many different things to use as the same but i love them i am using this to create my game

[thon717-2d]

i made another enemy, that is hidden inside a cone. he doesn't move when inside the cone and requires the cone to be shot to kill him. when the cone is destroyed the little red guy is a small spider like enemy that is fairly fast.
