Hello everyone! This week has been mainly working out some bugs. I had made some problems with the character camera, it does work; but the it isn't fixated perfectly onto the character themselves. It is a minor bug for now, but it will be problematic later on.  

Level design has been going along well. I have come to the decision of 3 rooms in GameMaker per level. It will be a good distribution of challenge and the mechanics are also laid out well that way. The 50% milestone will include one room per level (a total of 3 sketches for the levels)

I figured out how to implement animations manually in GameMaker, and it has been simple. I added a coin placeholder and it worked out flawlessly.

I plan to create a settings screen for graphics, sound, and control settings and brainstorm ideas for a main menu.

Playtesting has been pretty good, apart from the camera problems. The control is smooth, the character only does a single jump for now, but I plan to change that soon! 

That's all for now, see ya next week! Stay safe out there.
