I finished writing the second lesson this evening. I will spend a day or so polishing it before I release it.
I have built the game up to lesson 4 but planned well beyond that. And have started working on gathering screenshots and writing up a draft for lesson 3.
So what I will do is release lesson 2 very soon, lesson 3 likely next week.
It's taken me around 30 hours to complete lesson 2 (including creating the assets and building the game in a way that will suit the lessons) though.
Depending on the size of each lesson and how detailed I go into various aspects of game development, the course may take quite a few months to complete in full.
But I will attempt to make a big push to get the earlier lessons out asap. That way, we can get beyond the basics and move into the more meatier aspects of creating a platformer sooner rather than later.
That is amazing. I’m really excited for the more meatier parts.
This is why I asked in the first place.
I really appreciate your time and work you’re pouring into this.

Do you have a timeline in mind for the next 2?

I love your platformers. I'm thrilled for this.
Can't wait to get my teeth into this series and hopefully learn some good practices!
Super Dassal Land was a feast of quality platform tricks and implementation. Hope this shows off some of those principles!!
Cheers! I'll cover more or less everything that was implemented in Super Dassalo Land, yep.
Merci pour cette initiative !
J'espère avoir le temps dans les prochains mois de suivre votre cours car j'adorerais faire un petit jeu de plateforme sur Gameboy 🙂
Bonne journée !
Pleasure. I'll do my best to release lessons quickly. Certainly for the first few lessons so beginners can get some momentum going as they learn.
the rom playing in the web browser works? i cannot pass the options menu XD
It does, the browser version represents the project up to the most recently released lesson. At this point, lesson 1.
As the course is developed and subsequent lessons are released, the browser game will be updated accordingly.
so.... up to the title screen? XD
Correct - lesson 1.
