Finding Xavier is a short high precision platformer in which you are trying to find your cat, Xavier.
The techniques used in this video to create Finding Xavier are 'perfect' for this game. With this I mean that these things are exactly the way I wanted them to be. These aren't specifically guidelines on how to make a perfect platformer, as opinions per person vary. Feel free to take these tips as you'd like.
Inspired by amazing games like Celeste, Hollow Knight and Ori (and the blind forest/and the will of the wisps).
Software used:
▶ Unity - Game engine
▶ Aseprite - Art
▶ Bosca Ceoil - Background music
▶ Audacity - Sound effects

Background music: Zelda & Chill III by Mikel - gamechops.com/zelda-and-chill...

To those who do end up getting the game on Steam, make sure to leave a positive review, as that helps out the visibility for the game a lot!!!

celeste and hollow knight both feel like the level design is built around the movement of your character (moreso than any other modern platformer), and i think that contributes to making a platformer great. your character's movement is effectively the game's "unit of measurement". that's probably why on hollow knight there are certain parts of levels that are just a smidge too far to reach with just your basic jump.

That movement looks snappy and juicy!!! Congrats and well done :D Just grabbed my copy xD Your pixel art is so amazing and that track you made sounds great!

i like the video, but the audio isn't clear enough for me and the background music is too loud compared to it.. or rather the way you speak is more "soft" and then the volume is increased

@davidagiel8130

Level design is by far the hardest part of making a game

how to do a ledge hop?

@nobodyhome3753

I can't play Hollow Knight specifically because of the jumping problem at the edge of platforms.

@franxd323

I NEED a variable jump height tutorial, I tried many times

I just started making my game project for study last night and I love this conversation because this helped me make strategies and it allowed me to organize my thoughts through out the process. I am so interested in pushing stuff forward and it felt crazy fun to build such things all over. Thank you so much!
