Develop story

• Characters
• Overall setting & plot
• In-game events * cutscenes

Story systems

• Dialogue system * Profile pictures for the person talking * Different fonts for each speaker to express their personality * Support pauses, bold/italics for flavor * Different text scroll noises for each character?
• Cutscenes * Dialogue system + events that display different art as a scene progresses
• Variable to keep track of story progress & change triggers in the "home" room

Level Editor

• Define level file format (probably YAML)
• Grid snapping & object placement
• Develop interface good for both desktop and mobile
  * Something like Mario maker, click on a category then drag to elements of the category
• Add basic objects * Gravity blocks * Screen wrap blocks with movable indicators for where the screen will snap and where its limits will be * Player * Basic ground blocks * Key & Lock blocks * Goal block
• As soon as the basic version is done, open it up to supporters (they'll have to share the files directly until the sharing system is done)

Art

• Decide on new art style (leaning towards greyscale for the main game but color pixel art for real scenes)
• Find a pixel artist that I like & get a quote (fiverr probably)

Level design

• 20 levels in base game
• May use levels of supporters in the main game if any good ones get made

New game mechanics to be used in levels

• Bubbles, can only be jumped on once
• etc.

Level sharing system

• Log in via Oauth Steam for PC and Google Play for mobile
• AWS database for level, creator, ratings, difficulty
• Community approval system * When submitted, a level can only be played by community volunteers that screen profanity, rate difficulty etc. * After it's been approved by several volunteers it can be downloaded by anybody
• Random level button
• Search by any of the fields above (creator, ratings, etc.)
• Local storage of which levels have already been played & completed, avoid these on random
