#Platypus full version code#

Everything in the game - from the enemies to the backgrounds and even the weapons fire - is made from plasticine. Platypus is a wonderfully unique side scrolling shooter created by Anthony Flack. Thwap Thwup Splat, Wheeee! The review of Platypus could end there, but in the interest of, you know, explaining things, I'll continue. Click here on our review of Celeste, a game that also deals with similar issues.Pew Pew Pew Thwak. You can also go here to try it out for yourself! For more information you can also follow them on Twitter. See the video in this article for a full playthrough of the original Rock Bottom by Joel Boucher. WeвЂ™ll keep you updated when we have a more solid idea of whatвЂ™s coming down the pipeline. We want to develop games that focus on storytelling, puzzles, and teaching players about a wide range of different topics. Q: Can you tell us what other future projects you may have in mind for your studio?ДЄ: We have a lot of ideas that weвЂ™ve been kicking around we would like to flesh out our first game jam entry, Frozen Dungeon Saga. Do you intend to make it available on Steam or consoles?ДЄ: Platypus Studios will be looking at a full release of Rock Bottom on consoles and Steam (and any other platform that will have us) sometime in 2020. Q: You all seem to be working so hard to get this game released, when can we expect the full version. Someone with much more artistic skill than is currently working on it. WeвЂ™ll also be changing the art design from pixel style to a much nicer animated style. WeвЂ™re also working with mental health professionals locally in Sudbury to include education about it as well as tools for coping with depression and anxiety.

The plan is to create a more engaging story with NPCs, focusing on exploration, puzzle solving and improving the platforming elements.

#Platypus full version code#

When we started making the new version of the game we had to toss out almost all of the code and assets and rebuild the game from the ground up. While I still love the 48 hr version of the game, it is not without flaws. Q: What are some of the differences we will be seeing in the bigger and better version of Rock Bottom?ДЄ: The team has a lot more planned for the full release of Rock Bottom. WeвЂ™ve really been digging deep into the research and talking with others to make sure that we do it right. Therefore, we wanted to emphasize the mental illness aspect in the full release of the game.

It was a really important issue for the team to do it justice. Unfortunately when youвЂ™re writing the story after a day or so of little sleep it doesnвЂ™t come across so clearly. Q: After creating a short game about the stages of grief, what made you decide to expand that game to instead tackle mental illnesses?ДЄ: While the character in the Northern Game Design version goes through the stages of grief it was always with the thought of someone coming to terms with their own mental illness, eventually reaching acceptance. Also, there was unlimited coffee at the event. We finished with only 30 minutes to spare. By 6 hours into the competition we were pretty well organized and had our game mapped out. A few times each day we had a group meeting to make sure things were on track and we were all happy with what the others were doing. However, my team (Jean Francois Poulin, Khris Finley, and Joel Boucher) developed a great schedule for keeping ourselves on track so we knew what milestones we had to hit at different points in the competition.ДЇor example, once the theme for the competition was announced and kicked off at 5:00 pm, we gave ourselves 2 hours to lock in the direction we wanted to take and rough out the game we wanted to make. Q: It sounds like the Northern Game Challenge would have been a grueling experience, how did you manage to stay sane during that ordeal?ДЄ: I wonвЂ™t lie it does help that IвЂ™m a new father to a rather rambunctious 3 year old, so IвЂ™m used to running on little to no sleep.
