Hello, David and Donnacha team up to make a magic-type platformer.

We decide to look at the genre of games we made before. He has a magic card game in progress while I'm good with platformers and shooting.

My question is can I make a teleport/portal spell? Sadly I only got the portal part and not how to shoot it. We might change it to a click and teleport.

On the other Hand, my question was Can I use a combat system that can also act as movement for the player? Been rather successful in my endeavors, able to use a dash that gives the player a boost forward, along with a secondary ability that allows the player to launch themselves backwards with varying power depending on if they are standing on the ground or not. There is also a final combat ability that more acts as a basic attack method.

Some ironing out of the mechanics I've been working on will be required but I'm certain going forward I'll be able to smooth out the rougher edges.

We're still deciding whether it's going to be combat base or platform base, this question will be answered at later points during development.
