Another old feature that got scrapped: keys. Trying to design levels around carrying keys just really never worked out.

This was the first fully fleshed out level I designed. A bit basic, but it helped a lot seeing how levels would flow, what worked, what didn't, etc.
None of this made it to the final build, sadly

I'm always trying to find new uses for each of Volt's abilities. The ground pound wasn't getting enough love, so these pipes were a way to give it more function

This is one of my favorite mechanics I've added to the game. Get stuck in the snowball and you're safe from fire!

Of course things have improved a lot since I created first created that mechanic.

Just working on more game mechanics. And a bit of puzzle design as well. Learning the ins and outs of how this game works.

And now more sprite work. The spin animation really needed work, but the I still love the jump animation. This is the day things started clicking for this game. Going from silly project to a real game

This was a fun enemy to work on, though not much else to report here.

"Hey what happened to the sprites you were working on?"
Yeah so they weren't scrapped. I just didn't want people confused why the sprites weren't finished while playtesting, so I created temp art.
Also wall jumping!

After months, this is when I finally decided to give her real sprites! She'd still go through some updates as we know, but it's close to what we have now

Oh, did we mention our main characters are gay and get extra health when they kiss?

This was a proper attempt at real level design, finally! Learning how this game ticks, what makes it fun.

A lot more in this video:
Updrafts, which get reworked into something else.
Swings were scrapped for many reasons. I still miss them.
And gems which are retextured in the final game.

Here's the start of one of the core mechanics! Along with... an awful lava texture. This is also be the start of the spin attack.

Another mechanic test. This one went through a lot of iterations before it got to the version we have in game today.

Yeah, I didn't stick with the old jump animation that long. Added a bunch of new mechanics and movement options. The spin attack is finally here! I also toyed with the idea of stamina, but it never felt right.

Testing a bit more mechanics, including collecting gems for score. And a... less than stellar jump animation. Not everything you do in game dev is progress you know.
