There’s no footage of this stage unfortunately (and I wasn’t branching off for each version so can’t re-capture it!)

A lot of work went into understanding engine features, and learning pixel art using Acesprite.

I was going through a lot of different ideas before settling on one, and lots of experimentation and learning took place here

• Added tilemaps to create platforms for player to stand on
• Added basic save system
• Added stamina bar, health bar - and linked player sprinting to draining stamina
• Added clock system, and UI
• Created basic player sprite animations
• Added old man sprite
• Added basic warpgate sprites and logic
• Added parallax background which shifts with player at a reduced rate
• Camera soft zoom in / out in certain areas
