An Actual Guide to Making Platformers

Wow. Another platforming guide. Seems generic, doesn’t it? Well, I’ve been searching through platformer related guides here, and noticed that most of them are either for something very specific or not actual guides. Sooooo since I’m insane, I decided to write my own! Gameplay 1. Start Simple All platformer maps should start relatively simple or “easy.” If the very first jump of your map is very complex or difficult, people will be less likely to continue playing. 2. Scale Difficulty Properl…

Wiki Catalog for Types of Platforming Jumps

Check this when editing. Make sure to uncheck when finished: (Do not check for fun ) | Introduction: Never (gonna) Give Up Platformer Gameplay | Many games in discovery these days are platformers. 99% of them have horrible, repetitive gameplay. Some of them are just visual, but come on, that doesn’t give the player’s ATTENTION SPAN much to work with. Most of the jumps are just distance jumps, two props or pieces of terrain that you jump from and land on. BORING. If you’re going to make …

Welcome to the forums!

1. Like the others said search before you post!
2. The Drawing tool? That is most likely the “Custom Shapes” Device.

[Gaming-Phoenix]

Now lets see theme.. What kind of theme you going for? Spooky? Snowy?

[TamSong]

I actually have been looking just could not find anything

[ImAgimkitFan]

I think they said they don’t know what theme they want, and they want us to think of us theme.

[TamSong]

I was thinking of doing spooky bc I really love Halloween!

[Gaming-Phoenix]

Spooky! Excellent choice! Halloween is just around the corner! Give me a few minutes.

@TamSong

OMG REALLY!!?! That’s so cool!!! I cant wait for book 11. It needs to come out sooner

Not to be rude or anything bc I know your new, but in the future, try not to go off topic like that again! Make sure to read the rules!

[TamSong]

Alright! Thanks! Ill wait!

[ImAgimkitFan]

Maybe pumpkins everywhere and sentries which use certain Halloween Gims like, Focus, Raveena, Mummy, Ghostume, or something like that.
(Are any of those Gims options in the sentry menu?)

[TamSong]

Alright! I have the mythic gim from the Halloween pack so I just may use that!

[TamSong]

Yes sir! Sorry about that! I get carried away sometimes… lol

Skull Here is how you can make a skull, and I will add optional steps to turn it into a skull with crossbones.

So before I add more, I just want to know if this is just a regular calm platformer or is it different.

[TamSong]

What does that mean? Like Celeste (hard) vs OG Mario (easy) energy?

@Gaming-Phoenix

What? I meant if its gonna be like dld or a battle.

Oh whoops I thought way too hard there.
(Silly times like these are also part of the good GKC culture)

[Gaming-Phoenix]

I recommend something that will pull the players in! Something that will interest the players and make them say “Wow! This looks cool!” But you also have to make sure its within your realistic range to do. So what do I suggest? I suggest a tower of Halloween themed decorations and traps, with bosses (Multiplayer or not) that the player(s) Have to defeat!

@TamSong

Ill look at those links you sent me and if its fine with you,

Of Course! Go Right Ahead!
