Welcome to "Design The Game"!The idea with this adventure is to design a game by suggesting game mechanics, graphical additions, and story or lore.
Each Update will consist of an image to represent the additions to the game, a change log of the additions, and a link to the latest build (Which is currently going to be hosted on Google drive).
We begin with a tremendously simple looking character. What is the first thing that should be added/altered to this environment?
Name the character? Name the game? Zoom in the camera? Add movement? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated and will be added as soon as possible.
Latest Build: Version 0Change log: - First build, contains nothing but a sprite of the player character, and the camera facing them.

>Game name: Jumankee 2000  The game is promptly renamed. There are no visual differences (at least not until a title screen is made), but from now on each build will be JK2K instead of DTG. Give the Sprite fixed movement DIRECTIONS for fixed DURATIONS but give the user the ability to adjust the SPEED  The player now has the ability to move! Arrow keys move the character in the respective directions, and an additional feature is the speed system, press 1 for slow speed 2 for medium and 3 for fast.  Friend added! They currently have no functions and they look similar to the player, save for their bandana. Both the player and the friend are unnamed right now. Add grass, dirt and rock terrain tiles.  Grass, dirt, and stone tiles added. They all function the same, but maybe some tiles may prevent movement in the future.

Insert THREADSTUCK as a part of the lore.
Represent player health with a HEART icon.
Add SHALLOW WATER tiles that slow you down, DEEP WATER tiles you can't go in as of now, and SHORE TILES that function normally.
Give FRIEND a walking routine. Something simple, like walking back and forth between the shore tiles and their current position at speed 2.

Horses are rideable. Riding a horse lets speed go up to 5.

Pineapples will explode three seconds after placement, dealing damage to everyone within a three tile radius.

Player health is now added! The default value is 3. Insert THREADSTUCK as a part of the lore. Represent player health with a HEART icon. Add SHALLOW WATER tiles that slow you down, DEEP WATER tiles you can't go in as of now, and SHORE TILES that function normally. Give FRIEND a walking routine. Something simple, like walking back and forth between the shore tiles and their current position at speed 2. Jumankee 2000 is now a ThreadStuck fangame! That is to say, it is now intended to take place in the world of a ThreadStuck story. As a result, characters from previous stories will now be accessible! CHARACTER UNLOCKED: Asher Prime TRAITS: Clumsy Royalty in some horrible dystopia LIKES: Nice views Tap-dancing DISLIKES: Seafood CHARACTER UNLOCKED: McDeuce* TRAITS: Suspicious Gunslinger/Detective LIKES: Shooting Sleuthing DISLIKES: Waiting *Because his stats weren't unlocked in ThreadStuck, this is a fan idea about how they would be described, and will be changed if official stats are released. Health is now represented by 3 heart icons. When all your hearts are gone, it's game over! There is currently no way to restore hearts. Shallow, and deep water tiles added. Shore tiles also added, but unlike the water tiles, they do not affect your movement. FRIEND now walks back and forth between his 'home' and the shore. Nothing will stop FRIEND from completing this task over and over again. At least you're certain that nothing will stop them... >pickle the main character, like you would a cucumber. The main character is now pickled, looking comically green. >Implement respawn mechanic in case faulty game additions result in the premature death of the main character. We don't want bad decisions to render this game untestable. When you run out of health, the level reloads, so you may try again. A little vague, but we can start by adding mana points, and thinking up different spells- Magically remove magic before it gets added Magic is magically removed before it was even created. Maybe we should try to implement it again sometime later. > Add friendly mobs to the left: horses. A horse has been added to the world. Similar to FRIEND, the horse does nothing on its own. YET. Horses are rideable. Riding a horse lets speed go up to 5. The player can now walk into the horse and mount it, adding 2 more speeds to the speed system. >Insert pineapples as a useable item. Pineapples are now items that appear on the ground. When collided with, they will be added to the number of pineapples in your current inventory. Pineapples will explode three seconds after placement, dealing damage to everyone within a three tile radius. Pressing the space button while having at least 1 pineapple in your inventory will let you drop an explosive pineapple, creating a 3x3 explosion, only dealing one damage to the player. > Give the main character long purple hair. Make it as bad-ass as possible. The main character now has purple hair, and as badass as my poor art skills can do.  Here we see a glimpse of the changes we made. There is now a shore line, a horse, a pineapple, and FRIEND is away from where he began. I also tried to add textures to the tiles. Emphasis on tried.  Pineapples can be picked up and placed elsewhere, and after 3 seconds...  They explode!  Horses can be mounted simply by walking into them. They add 2 'gears' to speed: 4 and 5.

Add MEDIUM THIN WALLS that can be broken by EXPLODING PINEAPPLES. Put a HEART behind one such wall so you can regain some HEALTH.
Add DESCRIPTION to FRIEND that can be viewed by pressing the INTERACT button when near to them. "Your FRIEND wants to dip into the water but he's scared because he CAN'T SWIM. Neither can you."

Lock the screen size to a set number, probably something square and smaller than your screen.
Set the aspect ratio as well.
It looks like you are using the physics system, thus you should use .addforce rather than .velocity

Friend is clearly an Asher Prime, considering whether or not to uphold the legacy of "death by throne". Let's make it a little easier for him. Add the throne.
