  Hey, need a bit of help! I was wondering to what you all think about taking the need of magic? I found the game is more challenging with the need to pick up magic, but if you give the player no limits the game becomes more entertaining and I can make the game more difficult by having hard enemies and more of them?

  Yeah, I have every mechanic already implemented in to the game now. Now I am just building the levels around what I have done. I have an artist called Ailish working on all the assets now. She is coming out with some really impressive work, so I am confident the game will have lovely visuals to keep the players eyes focused.

  I started a couple of project to, but dropped them for being to ambitious. So I started this game, it started out to be a simple platformer. I just wanted a to create a full completed game. However it started pretty simple and the more I learnt, the more went in to the game haha, so I am pretty happy with how it plays at the moment.

  Not sure if you played to level two but, you learn a spell to recharge health with magic. Well on another level you learn a spell which lets you trade health for magic. I tried the energy recharge, but I found myself waiting for it to charge, which means I was sat there doing nothing was pretty boring. On the first six levels you get a new spell/item. Should have level three done in a day or two so I will upload an update.

  As for the feedback:

  1. i found the bullet/magic bolt very slow

  2. some knockback effect when hit by enemies would be cool

  Hey anheric! Thanks for the the feedback. You will unlock a new staff further in the game which increases the rate of fire and damage. As for knock back I think that would be pretty nice. Could have it so the lower your health the greater the knock back effect.

  Hello everybody :)

  Forbidden Forest (Working title I just made up <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle"> ) is a platformer I am currently making. I have done two levels now so I am pretty much getting in to the game, but really need so feedback before I carry on making more levels.

  The problem I have is that I have been building this game for about three weeks and have become very familiar with how it plays so I have no idea if what is easy for me in the game is to hard for other people!

  I am aiming for it to be a casual game so I don't want the game to be very challenging, but I still want to test the players at the same time. These are only a couple of mechanics that you have in the game, you will unlock lots of new spells and encounter more enemies as you progress through the game.

  Anyway this is my first project with C2, bloody loving the engine so far! Hope you enjoy what I have done so far :)Forbidden Forest(Update) 24/07/12

  Remember to press F11 <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle"> -

  Also credit goes out to Koori-kun for the awesome music in the game! Check him out!

  (Also bare in mind all the art you see in the game is 100% place holder!)

  Hey not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but another way to have more control over the "scroll to", is to have a separate object with the "scroll to" behaviour applied to it. Then use the "pin" behaviour to attach it to your player.

  You can place it where ever you like around your player to get the desired effect and then just change its opacity to 0 and bobs your uncle.

  Hope that helps or makes any sense.
