Daizo's Journey (Cancelled Build) - W2-5 - The Jimmy Express!
22024 revealed the release of "Daizo's Journey ~ Chapter 1: To Rise Above All" and a few people were curious what will happen to the original Daizo's Journey build I started back at around 2011/2012. So I'm releasing videos of what is now going to be known as the "Cancelled Build" which I'll release as a hack at some point in the future. This will document every single finished level I made.
The "castle" level of World 2 that takes place on a train. I designed the level mainly because at the time, train levels weren't that common...and debatably they still aren't. Besides the aesthetic, there's not a lot to this level outside of a fairly heavy use of the level.
The boss starts out as a chasing sequence followed with a boss, but since the boss's code was never finished it, the chase sequence just ends in death. You're meant to walljump onto the train, but with hindsight that doesn't make a lot of sense? There's actually another unfinished boss in the future that kinda combines this chase scene but as an actual fight.
Plan for the future -
I have some wild ideas on how to make the level aesthetically more interesting which takes cues from more modern games. Making actual coal enemies would also be neat. Also, Jimmy being coded from scratch by me is going to be REALLY fun to do for the redo.
