№1 Knows [Simple Platformer, From Lua with Löve]

[nUMBRA]

Welcome to nUMBRA's first public project!

I'm working on this again, because I haven't touched it in ages! (And my RPG trip took a huge detour...Huge...)

Title :
№1 Knows

Description :
№1 Knows is a simple platformer built around YellowAfterlife's engine. (This is moreso a simple, do-in-my-boredom-so-I-can-learn-lua-and-love-project than anything. )
What I'm attempting to do is make a puzzle platformer that has some fun, random features...

Other Programmer's Files in-use :
YellowAfterlife's engine
nsmurf's image to level conversion script
Nikolai Resokav (Kenny Shields)'s Löveframes GUI Library

Controls :
Horizontal Movement - Left and right arrow keys
Jumping - z
Air Jump (only if playing as Vex) - x
Menu Navigation - Mouse

Misc. Functions :
Quit to main menu - q
Access music menu - y (to escape this, since I forgot to add the escape, just press q then select no)

To add your own stage, simply add a .png to the levels/stage2 folder.

Features (that are currently implemented) :
(Slightly) Easy-to-add-to level system
Water
Fake Lava
Stage Selection
Characters with personal abilities
Volume Control via menu slider
Music
Sound Effects
Baddies (1 type, doesn't do anything, yet...)
Object layer for adding objects underwater
Parallax (It's coded, but the graphic...Work in progress, really...)
Camera movement (FINALLY!)

Features (to be implemented) :
Splash Screen
Store
More Characters
More Blocks/Objects
Easier-to-add-to level system
More levels
More stages
An actual (quick) tutorial in-game
(Cleaner code...)

Screenshots :
Not quite yet...

Now available on GameJolt!

I like it but have a few suggestions:

• - slow the movement speed to give the player more control
  - make the jumps less floaty and maybe have an animation to make it feel more responsive
  - increase the size - maybe have a smaller window and scale everything 2x?

Still nice overall, good luck!

Thanks a lot, litearc!

Those first two were things I was just finishing, oddly enough!
The third one I'm looking into right now. I had planned on doing that in the first place, however, for some reason I could not get a camera module to function along side the engine. So, to compromise so I could have larger maps, I used a 16x16 tileset as opposed to the typical 32x32.

I just now got the camera to work so that I can ditch the smaller graphics (I'm simply going to scale them).

Wow, this is pretty entertaining.

Jumped back on to this project! (A little bit easier to work with than the RPG or Lolo-like at the moment...)

Updated with a couple small features.

Just updated in regards to the project being placed on GameJolt, allowing for easier downloading as well as soon to be added high score, trophy, and cloud data storage!
