Retro Jam 2021
Within a span of a week, my task was to take a game and redesign it for a retro console. One of the first ideas that came to my head was to "demake" the Sega Genesis title Bonanza Bros.™ Of course, it did come with its set of challenges. But the one thing I am proud of learning within that week was messing around, and creating something with the artificial intelligence (Retro Jam 2021 submission).
Recent Updates
- The finishing touches, the player can shoot, look at him go!
- Logic was created in order to handle the animation changes when the player's state changed (example: jumping -> moving, moving -> shooting and vice versa).
- Artificial Intelligence was created for the guard. They will turn left/right and if the player is in view, they will move towards them.
- Creation of the guard. Using the Game Boy Tile Designer, each sprite which are 8x8 pixels are created. Then they are combined together in order to create a bigger sprite, or meta-sprite in this case.
- The player has been created using 4 sprites, thus, turing into a meta-sprite. When the player moves for example, each individual sprite will have to be moved at the same time.
