Project Echoes

Project Overview

This is an ongoing project to create a 2D platformer capable of adapting and evolving with you.

We want you to discover your gameplay style while playing, helping you uncover your personality and see if it evolves during the game. The game will adjust itself to match your abilities. Love finding hidden flames? The game will place more in challenging spots. Struggling with jumps? The platforms will move closer, and you'll be able to jump further.

Our Vision

We aim to offer:

• A nearly classic 2D pixel art platformer experience.
• A chance to discover your preferred exploration style.
• A world that evolves around you.

The Adventure

You control a young robot exploring a mysterious forest, always motivated to find an end. 

As you explore, the robot collects little flames, though their purpose remains unclear. Perhaps they power him, or maybe he just likes collecting them.    

    

But beware! This peaceful forest is home to golems who don't appreciate being disturbed. Our robot has much to learn about moving efficiently, collecting items, and avoiding harm.

Controls

• Move: Arrow keys
• Jump: Spacebar

How We Train Our AI

Curious about how we use artificial intelligence ?

Our AI focuses solely on your gameplay information to fine-tune its learning algorithms.

What exactly does it observe? Nothing beyond the essential gameplay elements:

• Your Movements: Tracks how you navigate through the game, be it leaping over obstacles, eliminating threats, or collecting flames.
• Overall Level Navigation: Analyzes your journey through the levels. We observe how and where you might face challenges or even fail, which helps in understanding different player approaches.

Rest assured, our AI is trained using purely the inputs from your keyboard during your gameplay; there’s nothing invasive or worrisome about it. So have fun!

Your Input Matters

If you have ideas about gameplay elements, personality styles, or level generation modifications, please share them in our comment section.

Note

We are in the initial stages of development. Expect some bugs, and understand that we're still training our AI. This is a temporary version, and we appreciate your patience.
