A 2D platformer game, inspired by Metroid and Castlevania, which creates levels using procedural generation.
Jetblade is a 2D platforming game in the vein of Metroid and Castlevania series. The game includes procedurally-generated maps, and it is written using Python and PyGame. The project is an open-source initiative, and developers around the world can contribute to it.
The game is still deep in development, and while you can create interesting maps and explore them with the player avatar, there is no real goal to gameplay yet. The core development team welcomes contributions and is eager to hear ideas from developers who are passionate about 2D platformers.
The Jetblade project is divided into three broad categories:
* Large-scale procedural map generation: This involves the creation of a selection of tunnels, their interconnections, different types of regions, generalized accessibility, and the creation of specific roadblocks to add meaning to exploration.
* Small-scale procedural map generation: This involves the definition of what a region of the map is like and the creation of interesting features at the scale of an individual tunnel or room.
* Platforming gameplay: Developers implement 2D physics and introduce abilities to the player, and create new creatures for the player to encounter and potentially battle in the game.
Jetblade is a promising project for fans of 2D platformers. It is ideal for developers who are passionate about game design and want to contribute to an open-source project that promises to deliver a unique gaming experience.
