Hey Constructers;
this is my first time here, although I've been thinking very hard lately about a game idea. I have art, music, almost everything, so I need to get this thing working.
Basically, I just need directions to tutorials or if it only takes a short answer, than please somebody elaborate here. :)
Now, I sort of figured out some of the simple elements, but where I need help:
- How to make doors and correspondent switches / levers? I would have also some hidden switches, maybe a puzzle where a switch opens one door but closes two at the same time. By door I mean an obstruction into which the avatar bumps into horizontally.
- How to create readable signs? Like in Lost Vikings: you approach a terminal / sign, press the "use" button and a text pops up.
- Collecting keys, optional treasures, I want to keep the player interested.
- Building a set of levels instead of one long scrolling screen, with an exit and points of no return.
These are the first I'd like to implement, but I have many more features in mind. But first I want to learn these basic things.
Thank you!
