Working Title: Kung Funk

I recently decided to create my very own solo project! My idea for the game is to create a side-scrolling beat-’em-up game set to hip hop music for mobile. Let’s hope it gets to the point where I can start making phat beatsies for it. So, after having gathered the inspiration from GCAP ‘17, I decided to start prototyping. I immediately got halted with touch controls. It took a little over a week but I finally got touch controls working!

It’s nothing but functional. It leaves me satisfied knowing that I finally got it to work, so I’m happy.

Angles? What are those?

Been working on getting player movement...working. The intent is to allow the player to swipe in the direction of a node and then move to that node. As this game will be played on mobile, I want player movement to be through gestures rather than UI. I feel like UI on mobile can be pretty clunky; Especially for people with smaller screens.

Although, that being said, it currently isn’t working. Apparently, all that time back in high school learning about angles was useful! Who-would’ve-thunk that high school math was important? I guess I’ve reached that point in my life where I regret not paying enough attention in school. Hopefully by the end of this week, I’ll have it up and running and the swiping can commence!
