Untitled Grapple Game - Devlog No.1

Hello Qbizh here,

This is the first devlog of a game me and @KryyxPlayz are working on. I will be taking care of all the programming aspects of the game while Kryyx will focusing on the building. The title is still undecided (suggestions are appreciated :wink:).

Concept

A competitive swinging racing game set in a dense city. Players can compete against each other in different game modes such as tag and racing in an open map. The swinging mechanics are designed to require a good amount of mechanical skill to master.

Progress

So far, I only have a test place to present, with the first version of the swinging/grapple mechanics implemented.

Here is some gameplay from the test place

Any and all constructive feedback or support is appreciated.

If you would like to check out the test place to try the game out for yourself it can be found here. I will update the test place and make the next devlog once we make some significant progress.

Next DevLog ā†’ (Coming Soon)

Hm, okay I have a few thoughtsā€¦

So itā€™s a grapple game where exactly is the grapple?

Iā€™m sorry but it looks like your trying to recreate spiderman web swinging which youve done pretty decently to be honest

iā€™ll be honest it looks like a spider man game, i donā€™t remember that a grapple works like that. maybe you should take your time to read this:

I didnā€™t want to just call it another spider man swinging game. I am just using the term ā€œgrappling hookā€ here as an alternative. Even though it may seem like spiderman swinging, rather than just swinging around a point like spiderman, in my game the user is constantly being pulled towards their target while also being able to swing. That is why I didnā€™t want to chalk it up as another spiderman type game.
