Feeling inspired by one of my all time favorites, Team Fortress 2, I decided to start prototyping a grenade jumpin’ side-scroller. Some greyboxing of the basic movement mechanics are shown below.


Alongside the grenade jumping, I threw in a slide mechanic akin to that of Apex Legends, where the character slides indefinitely on slopes and slows to a halt after a time on horizontals. There are some negative gravity wells in there too. Oh, and inclines of a certain slope aren’t climbable..


Working on some placeholder art and the motivation to complete it at the moment!
