After taking a break for a few months after completing GunGirl 2, I have decided to create my next project. It will be a 100% kid-friendly Metroidvania / Adventure Platformer with lots of RPG elements and more retro styled graphics. Why again a Metroidvania? Because I like them and I still think there are not enough good ones out there. So hopefully, some day this game will be one of them 
Right after GG2 was finished, I had a lot of ideas for a next game and started right away on PandaGame. But after a few days of work I had the feeling that I have to rest my mind a bit, so I took a break for a while to think out the rest of my ideas for this game. I wanted to be sure that this game will be entertaining and fresh and not feel like some copy&paste game from a guy that has no new ideas anymore. The story this time will also be very simple, but it will be more and more complex as the player progresses in the game. The simple start of the story has been layed out and can be read in the description ;D
This game will focus more on the adventure and exploration part of a Metroidvania and it will have less enemies, but they will be more "intelligent" than the zombies in GunGirl 2. I will reveal more about the new enemy ai and the combat in the game at a later point, because I want to back up my arguments with animations and actual gameplay footage. But right now it's more or less only in my head so far
On development side, this game will be 100% fresh. I will not copy&paste ANYTHING from GunGirl 2. This means 100% new engine, setup, enemy ai, graphics, spells, dialogue, combat etc etc.
What has been finished so far is:
- new setup program with better joypad detection and functionality
- panda can run, jump, climb, attack and swim
- almost every panda animation finished
- panda has 5 armor sets and swords that you can find throughout the game (graphics done)
- all abilities are thought out to make gameplay interesting
- enemy ai will be a lot more interesting to fight compared to GG2 zombies
Not much so far, but this is only the work of a few days and I have a lot of time to waste, so let's see what this will turn out to be...
