I am working on a custom tile map and file format, cause I wasnt really happy with what HaxeFlixel has. :P

3D arrays are pain. T-T

Hi everyone,

I've lately been working on a 2D platformer with movement similar to Celeste (you know, tight turns, low jump, all the good stuff!) using HaxeFlixel and well...the Haxe programming language. I've been really busy with life, namely exams but enough excuses, lets talk about the game!

==Nerd stuff==

So as I said, the game is made with HaxeFlixel and utilises its physics engine. However I've also written a layer of abstraction on top of that to make my life easier. Additionally, I wrote my own system to check if the player is grounded, and then got shell-shocked to learn that Flixel has a built in way to do that..don't be like me kids, read doccumentation first. I've also modified my own level editor to be able to export to .csv files so thats cool! The level editor is written in Python and Pygame and has some advanced features such as auto-tiling and some quality-of-life such as layers. I am really proud with how the game's movement is going and you can catch a glimpse of it below. :o

==Story==

I've wanted to write a story about..death. Its pretty morbid, however I dont want to treat it like some goth-emo crap but in a more subtle way. As in, its about a girl dying slowly from an illness and the player going through levels is a metaphor for her..well..passing on. I feel like its an original enough idea, and I think it would do for a pretty good plotwist!

==Music==

...yeah I have nothing here. Which is why, I am calling on YOU!

If you are a composer interested in working on a lil indie game, hit me up in DMs and we can talk about it. ^^

If you decide to do so, please do provide some of your work, something like a link on YouTube, SoundCloud, ect.

==Conclusion==

Thats all for today. I'll try to keep up a schedule but I cant promise anything..

So, wish me luck on exams, and yeah thats all! I hope to see you all guys later!
