Jump mechanic

One of my main contributions would be the jump. We wanted to have a Bouncing Jump for our character. I made multiple iterations which mainly had to do with the pattern in which you would be allowed to jump.

Early prototype with infinitely increased jump height based on the previous jump

Another Prototype that would alternate between a low and a high jump

The final version which is a mix between alternating the jump but also increasing the jump height based on the last jump

Glide Mechanic

I focused on was the gilding mechanic. Our character is also capable of gliding around the world to move over big gaps. I again made three different prototypes. These prototypes have slightly different turning controls and have different ways of accelerating and deaccelerating. the final video is the prototype we continued and I polished out further
