Hello everybody! I'm going by Widget Kitty - the name I intend to release games under. Mostly I work on RPGs, and their graphics and soundtracks, but have always dreamed of making a decent platformer - just never found a decent program. Then I found and tried out Platform Builder back in Spring, thought it had a lot of promise. The other day I saw the trailer for v10, went back and updated, and after a few hours of tinkering I was convinced to buy the Pro version and put some serious effort into a new game.
I've got four levels done now, along with a bunch of custom blocks and enemies, slowly editing the sprite sheets to my own designs. I've got four enemy types done so far - the skeletons were the most work! Anyway, I'll post some screenshots below to show what I've got done - I should probably make a thread for this game and its updates?
I have enough ready for a demo, so maybe I should put one up through the publisher? I noticed though, when I extract to an EXE, the game crashes after level 1 with a long error code. That I'll have to figure out, but I emailed it as a bug report already. Anyway, hope you like my screenshots! For context, this game stars a spy girl on a mission to infiltrate a mad doctor's island base, but her boat is shot by cannons, and she's left stranded on a beach with no equipment - so, her sprite will update as you get her spy gear back.
