Just a little update
Posted 13th Aug 09, by Hayo  
I am now one week into this project and still didn't give up, which means there is a chance I will finish this. I have been coding some movement features, most of them are pretty standard but they do give some variation to the game. Some of these features are abilities Fishhead will learn on his adventure. He may also come back to earlier levels to reach new locations he could not reach before.

Features coded so far:
- Ladders
- Running (double-tap)
- Double jump
- (multiple)Wall jump
- Swimming

Features to code in the days to come:
- Ducking
- Sliding
- Horizontal ropes
- Gun modules (more about that soon)

Also have been working on getting Fishheads voice right. In the previous Fishhead games he had too much of a standard Worms-esque voice to my liking. He now has more of a hoarse oddball voice, still a little bit high-pitched.

Love this! The colourful backdrops remind me of Rayman, which ironically was discussed in the forums recently.

Would love to take a sneaky peek!

This is epic stuff right here. I like the second screenshot with the water, looks nice to swim in.

Super looking forward to this.

Looks to be a lot more open than previous Fishhead games.
That certainly is a detailed background which is nice to see. I see a lot of people prefer using silhouettes just in case it interferes with the foreground.

Yeah, I went to using a different palette for the backgrounds, bit brighter and less saturated so it doesn't get in the way.

And yeah, Rayman is a big inspiration to me

This looks gooooooooood! The Rayman inspiration is a good one and shows!

I remember Blackgaze sending me those enemy drawings YEARS ago. HE drew about 10 pages of them lol.
Then he went mental and blocked me.
