Here is some early footage from PLANDER. In this clip, Plander is walking around some temp terrain.
The jumping feels pretty solid at this point, but now I need to start working on building in different level mechanics and artwork, to really flesh out the different worlds that he'll be exploring. In future updates expect to see some cool ways of getting around.
As stated in the summary of the game, there will be time for the player to take Plander outside and swim around through space. This is another early look at what that portion of the game will look like:
The current version of this has a few more features like the ability to switch tracks. Soon I'll be implementing more songs and some of the other EKO features. Once that happens you'll be able to open EKO up to ask him questions, get planet alerts, and commit him to repairs. If you're nice enough and create solid friendships with the aliens on the ship, they might join you for a swim one day.
In closing, I'd like to give you all some idea of what other kinds of music the game will have. I'll leave you with an early listen from the game's OST. This music is very different from the chip tune songs that I normally compose for my games, but it's been nice to take a break and play with different instruments and rhythms. Take a listen!
