Ok, so 3 hours and 10 minutes in, and I already have an idea and a prototype.

The game is called “The Adventures of Master Bad Guy”, and I already have a sprite and an object-oriented semi-platforming  engine down.

I say semi because it doesn’t work yet. This is my first time attempting a platformer, and I am ok with that. I’m not exactly looking forward to winning (at all) as much as I am looking forward to learning new things. And that’s good because that’s all I’ve been doing.
