I wanted to update last week, but because i didn't receive the last characters fixes from our artist I didn't.

Hopefully tomorrow we start the levels...

Meanwhile, I have been playing some platform 2d action games, old and new. This is in order to see where enhancements can be added to Shadow Gangs.

I already found a lot of enhancements, and I am compiling them. Things like sound for jump, and when Dan does the double jump, he makes another sound, like "haaaaa". Things like this.
Also if he falls from a big height, it will take time for to recover while on ground. (but not if he does the jump down move).

I also thought about the levels, I have now the full list of levels. Would like to thank the forumers for the nice contribution!.

Here is the list of levels, all 15 normal levels, and the 5 boss levels discussion, with the "final" list on my last post.

On the music side, our composer took a lot of time with the Chinese style music, because it's not his style. But should have it done this weekend hopefully.

Stay tuned!.

We are near the end of the sprite fixes phase, and will start the levels hopefully by the end of next week.

Regarding music, a new great music track is being worked on, which will have traditional Chinese music influence!

For level ideas, here is the discussion thread:

We are now in the last sprites fix phase, and we'll start the levels in 2 weeks time!

I have already started sketching level 1 (New York).
It will be a long level, same length or more as the level you may have seen in the demo.

Shadow Gangs will be an action + exploration type of game, there is no time limit to finish a level and areas cleared do not respawn.

I have opened a new thread to talk about the levels, what in them and if anyone want to suggest a level setting or sceneario that would be great!

Above an example of the revised/fixed Dan ninja sprites.
Now looking badass and worth the transformation from Dan fighter to Dan ninja!.

With muscle definition, larger shoulders, grey arm webbing instead of red.

Down is the original Dan ninja.

I have been working on optimising the game code, doing this while waiting for the levels to start, hopefully we start them this October.
Now we are still in the sprites fix phase.
