How I made an Excellent Platformer

To those who do end up getting the game on Steam, make sure to leave a positive review, as that helps out the visibility for the game a lot!!!

nice to see your evolution!

I really want this type of video talking about this specific topic but it's so rare this was the only video i could find about it.

Well done! I'll play this on stream sometime

Where are you from? Your accent is like, exactly like the sunfire elves in The Dragon Prince— somehow so pleasant to listen to!

The "feel" can make or break a game for me and just by how it looks in your game, I am itching to play it! I'm playing 2d platformers since I wanna make my own eventually.

Please tell me how you did those post processing effects, it almost looks like shaders it looks gorgeous!

The game turned out so good. I loved the movement a ton, would love to see another platformer from you, maybe something more like mario this time

sir, you are a legend! any way I can get my hands on the code of your game? or do you have a course for that game that emulated the celeste movements quite fine IMO? my game is currently on hold but when I get back to working on it again, I'd like to update the movement, slopes and moving platforms ^^

how to do a ledge hop?

I buy this game and it very cool

Good video

Nice progress looks really good!

i remember when ken uplaoded content

idk if it's me but you sound like you have a french accent
ce serait cool

Never been a fan of platformer, I just think they're boring since it's pretty much the same gameplay for every game.
However, to start game dev it's fairly good because it's one of the easiest genres you can start with.

You got that wrong, for most platformers especially metroidvanian ones, the jump should be fast and the fall should be slow (kind of floaty).

I bought your game.
Cool concept with being able to change movement abilities on the fly.
Movement feels alright but not Celeste level.
Game is extremely short. I finished it in 30 minutes.
But not bad at all.

I'm trying this myself lately and it's really, really hard to get the movement just right.

can you please make a tutorial for the end lighting and effects

It looks very polished. I love the art style. I have to buy and try it later. Well done.

Xavier Naidoo the cat!

How you coded the own rigidbody and physics? Is there a tut for it? :)

Broos "r"s💀

Great insight! Can't wait to see more!

Bro you have a great ton of potential

I want a tutorial course to this jumps :)

Not checking the game purely because of the title of this video. Who tf are you to decide what is excellent and what is not. Loser.

I wonder when the number of platform games released will surpass the one trillion mark

good share

I wish this was a Wii U game

very very cool, i really loved the post-processing? you did with the graphics to make the lights glow and shadows and stuff im very curious how that is done

69k views nice.

I just started making my game project for study last night and I love this conversation because this helped me make strategies and it allowed me to organize my thoughts through out the process. I am so interested in pushing stuff forward and it felt crazy fun to build such things all over. Thank you so much!

Xavier is not a name i will choose for a cat, just saying. Keep it up doing more levels or making the game look prettier. The base seems perfect for me, maybe the game feeling kinetics will not be my type. But congratulations for all of your effort you deserve all succes you would get. And probably more

Your art looks really similar to Celeste. (But please don't take this as a criticism, it looks really good.)

Wonderin if you tried pizza tower before, that game is wario land 4 and sonic mania on crack

your character looks like Madeline

Fr ?

your accent screams dutch

dude, that seed planting for abilities idea is absolute gold

Your game looks great! Love the lighting effects. I'll have to try it this weekend :)

making your player fall faster than they when they jump isn't a good design. unless you're trying to make every jump feel oppressively heavy and effort intensive, that is. in real life the trajectory of a jump is obviously a parabola, but some games use different curves. no matter what kind of jump trajectory you implement, it should generally be a symmetrical curve.

Ori's platforming is not that good tbh

i like the video, but the audio isn't clear enough for me and the background music is too loud compared to it.. or rather the way you speak is more "soft" and then the volume is increased

loved the menu
