C, let's call it 'the Croc' is a crawling, climbing creature that can't jump, and is somewhat less mobile than the bear. This is the player avatar in the game world. B, let's call it 'the Bear' because of its ears, is a running and jumping creature, with medium mobility and probably also access to most of the map, as maps will be designed mainly from this creature's perspective. A is a flying creature, that can move quickly and reach every part of the map. B, the player, is in the middle of this food chain, and the gameplay will consist of trying to hunt while at the same time avoiding to be eaten. Together the creatures will form a little eco system, where creature B eats creature A and creature C eats creature B.

I won't go in to detail on how I plan to design them visually, that's not entirely worked out yet and will hopefully be an exciting surprise. The game will have three types of creatures in it. The core of the game is the movement of the player character in the environment. More moves are to be added, such as balancing on poles, maybe some gripping mechanics, stuff like that. More on that to be found in the old thread. The Game Try out the prototype to get a feel for what kind of basic mechanics I'm working with.

I work at the game at a low but steady pace, and will hopefully be able to post updates every so often. I decided to start a dev log to keep track of my progress and keep myself motivated. I haven't started on the visuals yet, and the game will probably look very different from this screen shot, but the movement of the player will be mostly the same. Since then I have worked some more on the project, starting to turn it into a game. A while ago I posted a movement prototype in the feedback section. Thanks for your time! Rain World is now Kickstarting! Hi! Maze Runner is of course a working title. For those of you who are interested in technical stuff, feel free to plough through the devlog! Below follows the original first devlog entry from 2012.

If you find the project interesting, please feel free to ask, suggest, comment or otherwise contribute. For the music and soundscape of Rain World, I have the excellent James to rely on.
