Hey Guys,
So to celebrate Me and sim's partnership for this game we thought we'd open a {wip} thread.. We hope to post updates and art!,
Here's a video that sim put together so take a look and we appreciate any thoughts!,
We'll treat this like a blog and update every so often!



(Bare in mind this is a VERY early version and this probably won't be the menu and stuff... We hope to make this into a full blown plat former with lots of levels!,

(As always I appreciate the community and would really appreciate if they're were no negative comments.. If you've got nothing to say don't say it!, We really only want productive and constructive comments! )

If you'd like to view the story behind the game sim has set up a comic.. So look here :)

Oh and here are some previews of the Game art and what the game is about;

Cheers,
@LeonardDeveloper & @simtastic

    Beautiful art style! My suggestions would be to:
    - Create more depth, its hard to tell where in 3d space the player is

    - Change the UI , not sure why the number counting number of bubbles you collect is in the middle of the screen

    - Make sure to build a compelling story / background to the game and add more compelling gameplay beyond basic platforming. Maybe let the player change forms / size?

    Can't wait to see where this goes!

    Take that forest silhouette and make it parallax. It already looks slick, but that'd add some polish.

    So far so good! I just noticed that there's a glitch at 0:34 where the character is actually halfway inside the platform. Other than that the game looks nice and with added parallax, enemies and unique controls/style it could be wonderful!

    Best of luck,
    Henry Abrams

    I don't think that's a glitch... looks like the character is "behind" the tall grass.
