After reviewing my Google Analytics, I discovered that many people were visiting the Forest Rush page, which was my attempt at a platformer game. Unfortunately, because of a loss of interest in tutorials and decreased time, I never gave it a good go because I was working again. However, with my renewed vigour and enjoyment in writing tutorials, I thought it would be a good idea to start up again. This time, I have permission to use some professional assets from https://craftpix.net. Forest Rush will be based on my new game, Eyes of Inashti. I’m not married to the name. It is still early, but you can view what works in the video below. You can find the tutorial on my site’s Forest Rush 3.8.1 page. Also, you can use this direct link.

What’s Next?

The next tutorial will be on NPCs, either A Summoner’s Tale, Eyes of the Dragon, or both! It could be both because the code and writing will be virtually identical. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. That would give me three tutorials in one week, which I am aiming for. The other tutorial that I would like to cover this week is running and jumping in Forest Rush.

My Projects

I made good progress in Eyes of Inashti yesterday and a bit this morning. I did work more on the tutorial than on the game. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the progress I am making. There are some glaring bugs that need to be squashed, but I will get there. I will be sharing more videos as time goes on. Keep coming back if they interest you.

Final Thoughts

I know having three tutorial series on the go at once isn’t ideal. However, I feel strongly there is also interest in a good platformer series. So, I am going to work those into the mix. They will be based on a working game, making it easier to write. But it does still take time. Anyway, I am going to wrap this post up. I wish you good luck with your game programming adventures.
