To begin, you need a brand new Sprite Kit Xcode project. The result will be a complex, hybrid physics manipulation, as you both apply forces to the player node and also directly change its velocity. The accelerometer will handle the player’s left and right movement (x-axis). Collecting stars along the way will propel the player further on their journey upward, taking care of the up and down (y-axis) portion of the player’s movement (miss too many stars and you fall down though!). Uber Jump will take the same model, initially thrusting your player character upward and continuously applying gravity to pull them down. Collecting coins boosts the player upward while platforms provide temporary respite along the way. The game hurls the player character up the screen and from that point the player must fight against gravity to get as high as they can. As everyone knows, “uber” is better than “mega,” so let’s call your game “Uber Jump.” ]Īt its heart, a game like Mega Jump is a physics game. Yours will obviously be a truly amazing game and so it needs a truly amazing title. You are going to create a game similar to Mega Jump. That means you’ll need a paid developer account and a device to test on to get the most out of this tutorial. Like the book and film, the game could be a commentary on the state of the game industry, using video game toon actors as a stand in for the treatment of voice actors and video game developers, discuss video game tropes and cliches, use Jessica as a way to make commentary on sexualization of women in video games etc.Note: The game you’ll build will eventually use the accelerometer to control horizontal movement. ![]() Roger hires Eddie to find out why the publisher won't let him out of his contract and why his wife, Jessica, left him to get back with the CEO of the publisher but things go haywire when the CEO and (BIG SPOILERS for the book) Roger are murdered and Roger is seemingly framed for the murder of the CEO leaving Eddie and Roger or Roger's Doppelgänger to figure out who censored him. Noire and mystery games like Ace Attorney.Įddie Valiant, a private detective who hates video games and video game toons is hired by Roger a down on your luck video game toon actor who was a popular Mascot platformer in the 90s/early 00s but has struggled to get much success afterwards and is stuck in a horrible contract with a publisher who is using his likeness for nostalgia bait and profit while Roger himself sees very little of the money. I also think it would make the basis for a very good video game in the vein of games like L.A. I won't spoil it here but it's way more cynical with very few "good" characters. It's a play on pulp mystery paperbacks of the 40s and 50s, playing into many of those tropes and is VERY different from the movie (the book for example is more focused on comic strips like Dick Tracy and Hägar the Horrible for example that cartoons), both in terms of plot and tone. When I was in South Africa, I was listening to Who Censored Roger Rabbit, the book that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is based on and I found it very interesting. ![]()
