I have 3 different ideas for SKETCHED
1: The game will play just like the WIP i submitted here (run left/right and jump, control pencil with mouse)2: the character will automatically be running rightwards and control the pencil w/the mouse (always drawing) and click to jump3: surf the pencil line on a little pencil (not in control of the pencil, surf the line and stuff)IM NOT COMBINING ANYWHICH DO U LIKE BEST? if you have a different idea, TELL METHANX!!! I NEED INPUT
The second one seems to be the one with most control.
I choose 2Here are some thoughts on each:
1) Too hard to control. This may be less of a problem if the player's acceleration was altered, but as is, it's a bit akward trying to coordinate between the two. Probably interesting once you're used to it, but alot of people would probably be turned off by the steep learning curve.2) Sounds good. It would allow new players to have better control, but could still be made more complicated as the game progresses. This sounds the best of the three, giving adequate control to the user, but not so much that they become frustrated trying to manage everything.3) Meh. Unless I'm missing something here, this one sounds like it would take away most of what makes Sketched stand out.The first one will make it easier to say draw lines to reach secret areas, or put a barrier on enemies. So I choose 1. It's original enough, does not need to be a scroller like 2; number 3 is just lousy.
I say one is this best, no doubt.
I WAS going to pick 2, but Rhys put up a really good argument about possibilities. I'm torn between 1 & 2.
#2 reminds me too much of yoshi's touch and go. #1 sounds best
GOD DAMN!!! i was working on 3 and GM FROZE AND I LOST ALL OF IT!!! 3 was the COOLEST SO FAR TOO!!!!
haha dispite the imput im working on 3 for now. trust me, its the better choice for now
i wont forget the original concept tho w/the secrets and stuff… ill find a way to put it in… OHH and i just got the idea lol
inspiration on demand, bitch. (thats a song btw, by Shadows Fall)I like #1.
The acceleration does need a lot of work though.Make the keys wasd, and press ctrl to run. It gives you control, and lets you have some fun running across wide open areas with the pen.
