Hi Guys,



Early days (4-5 days in) but wanted to show you what we're working on.

Nightmare (wip title) is a none stop level based runner where the player finds themselves inside his own nightmare and needs to collect all the lanterns of light and reach the end to wake himself up.

If you die the reusable levels become harder and the nightmare becomes worse.

I used some new tricks which means we have no constrain or magnitude and only have things like particles going off when needed and even though we have 4 layers of parallax scrolling and a lot going on it still runs really fast on older devices so overall really pleased with how its coming along.

Hope you enjoy the video.

We should have this ready in under 4 weeks.

Darren.

    It looks really great. The colors you picked look great together, and the gameplay looks fun. Can't wait to see this one once it's finished.

    Very nice, looks awesome. On the other hand, "the more you fail the harder it gets", might turn off people, so watch out with that.

    Thanks guys... We are having fun doing it and it's growing as we proceed... It will be interesting where this project will end (my head is filled with cool nightmare monsters and effects - something to torture coders with by throwing more art at Darren every day...)

    RKS - it's going to be a full game (for a change :) )...

    Did you use the code from Running Wild? Kind of reminds me of it!

    No i coded it from scratch as this reuses the scene, if you don't collect all the lanterns you go back to the start of the level.
