Roland & A.I.1 - 2018 Projects
Two projects from 2018 I never blogged about: Roland, a rolling-ball platformer made with Andre of Venturous Games, and A.I.1, a friend's PlayMaker Metroidvania I helped on.
2018 was a weird year. Made a couple things, posted them to Discord, never wrote about them here.
Roland
A cute 3D platformer about an orange ball that rolls around. A collaboration between me and Andre of Venturous Games. It never shipped, but it was a good year of platformer feel, camera and level work.
A.I.1
This one wasn’t mine - I wanted to document it anyway because I was slightly involved. A.I.1 was 99.9% the work of a friend I know as FomeDome. He was making a Descent/Metroidvania clone using Playmaker.
FomeDome was more artist than coder, which is why Playmaker was involved. At the time I was super into C# but also happened to be making Playmaker custom actions and felt I could help out. We both burned out though. Real life happens I guess.
Roland taught me things. A.I.1 taught me collaboration is hard. Neither shipped. Such is life.
