Summary
As you have seen, developing a platform game is a pretty exciting task. Contrary to
previous genres, we learned in this topic, such games have less abstract action and
operate with more pictorial content. The game lets you create a universe and settles
it with characters, describing the rules of their behavior. This is a real gift for your ima-
gination! And it is not about realism. The game universe can be based on your own
principles and artistic taste. It can be cartoon like or gloomy and dark. It all depends
on the mood of the story you are going to tell the players. Now, you know how to cre-
ate a cute character and why you should be careful with real anatomical proportions.
If the animation does not look scary, you can easily animate the protagonist and other
characters.
In the next chapter, we will try to create projects with a more complex narrative and
plot and talk about adventure games. They are made of multivariate story, different
puzzles, and well-developed characters that can talk and even deceive the player.
