grapplePack Game Dev

Posted by Greg-Anims - April 24th, 2011


Development is going great, It used to be this game like mirrors edge, with focus on fluid movement through a level, it is super fun swinging through these skyscrapers in the sky and the sense of momentum is spot on, sam is a great coder.

However, its not good enough! Im making games i wanna play and i want danger and threat in the levels. We are changing the engine to a tile engine too, so players can put together epic levels in half the time, they look great and can be huge. Im faking a lot of the lighting/clouds in the background so that it still runs full speed on old computers.

Heres a mockup prototype of some tiles, final game will look somewhat like this, only waaay more badass. You can read more on the blog, and il be blogging regularly here too. Cheers newgrounds!

( ps- who else has MK9? im loving it. Smoke or kitana are my favorite so far just for their speed and trolling moves :p 360GamerTag is: gregserg if anyone wants to play )

looks great

Looks great, good luck Greg

I'm liking the style :)

Have you heard of the game Give Up Robot 2?

yeah ive played it, its great! That guy makes a lot of platformers, he made jumper which i like too, i really dig how the hook interacts with coins/levers. Our game is a lot more fast paced, you wont have to aim the hook as much as time your swings/walljumps/jetpack boosts..

hey man, i remember you from msm.

ah yeah, that place was awesome. Has it completely died now?

I want to play!!! Need beta tester? message me :P

yeah, it has. Though it was a slow death, most people left when it got quiet.
