ParKour: The Art of Motion

''Parkour'' is a french word, literally meaning ''The Art of Motion''. It is an expression for going from point A to point B as fast as possible, using only your body. Parkour, otherwise known as Free Running, is invented and named by David Belle. In past few years, the number and the skill of Parkour athletes has grown more than ever. There are numerous competitions, organizations, groups, teams and individuals practicing The Art of Motion.

[TheWhiteWolf]

Thanks, mate.
I finished some of the most important systems, so all I need now is an animator to help me.

 

[magIc_seeKer]

waw, now that's a first

good luck and can't wait to see what happens

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Thanks, mate.

 

[sonofjay]

Nice, I'll keep track on this,

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Very unique & interesting! Good luck with ur project!

 

[RandomPogi]

Interesting....... Subscribing!

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Looks rather nice. But I suggest you set how all the parkour stuff is done.
You could make it like a side scroller/platformer type, where Up could mean jump and Down as slide.
Pressing Up twice and mashing some keys could mean like Double Jumps or something.

Lastly, if you dont want to make it a platformer, top down the cam but with same controls.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

U have some screenies of it Matija?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Not yet, but will post them soon. Also, I could post some videos of the systems I made.

Top down perspective?
That might mess with height-judging and all. Just saying. A side scroller seems more efficient. Or if it were a 3rd person type, oh, w00t.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I made a third person camera, but you can also edit it ingame as you wish.

 

[Graber]

The thing that u are asking is not that hard to do but is very time conusiming so that a problem and i have still 2 exams to do ...

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Okay, some screenies and perhaps a video coming soon :3

 

[Gekigengar]

Waiting for screenies!

 

[xorkatoss]

awesome!! can't w8 for it, subscribed

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Uploaded the map and some screenshots in the first post.
All suggestions and bug reports are extremely welcome.

While you test it, use only Jump, because other abilities don't work yet. Also, use arrow to move.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

The terrain could be better!

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

This is just the basic terrain, without a little bit of eye-candy, such as decorative doodads. I first want to make the systems fit perfectly with this terrain, then I will make the terrain look good.

 

[Gekigengar]

Why can't i jump over bench and blocks when its the art of motion ;_;

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Ok, thanks for bug report

Progress for the day:
Completely remade the jump and fall system, so now it is way more realistic and bugless. You can now jump over or on stuff if you want.

Things to work on next:
Character Customization - I have enough resources, but it is not too crucial for the gameplay, so it can wait.
Vault System - jumping over benches, boxes and stuff. It will be a really big part of the game, so I should work on that.
Terrain - Much, much decorating, but it also isn't too important for now, so it can also wait.


New version coming out soon.

 

[Gekigengar]

Can you jump on boxes and stand on them? <3

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Yes, well that's the point xD

 

[Catch_ya]

I think the long wall is too stretched, also maybe you should find another texture for the walls. But that is up to you of course.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I will find a new texture for sure. I suppose it will make it look it's made of wood, and will also change stone benches into wooden ones. I have one last exam today, so starting tomorrow, I will work more on this project.

 

[Catch_ya]

I only have one exam left as well. anyways I wish you the best of luck and I'm looking forward to see this being finished.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

The project is currently paused until Graber finishes the character model.

The project is currently paused until Graber finishes the character model.

oh that's bad but why pause it? wouldn't it be better to work on terrain?
the city isn't going to be created on it's own you know

Hi I am doing Parkour now for almost 5 years are you also doing Parkour or is it only your idea for your map ^^ when you train, where are you from?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

For about a year and a half now. I am 15 years old. I can do most of the vaults (speed, lazy, monkey, dash, kong, underbar), but I love climbing and jumping more. Defeating obstacles gives me some special satisfaction. I live in Belgrade, Serbia, and always train in Kalemegdan, also known as Singidunum, the Fortress of Belgrade. It has lots of old walls, bridges and towers which are ideal for my style. I have a friend who trains half year longer than me. He's just a few hours older, but he is way stronger, can do all vaults (including kash) on very high and long obstacles, extremely strong, especially upper body, so he is good at hand stands, hand walking and similar. He can also do palm spin, wall spin and frontflip.

 

[xorkatoss]

so how is the progress with this project? hope you are still working on it!

 

[stonneash]

Is This Dead???

 

[xorkatoss]

[ArkaBlader]

Reminds me of myself always parkouring through my school and then again bad idea to jump down about our 5 feet staircase,. (i already did it then OUCH! a small crack in the femur).
But keep this parkour map up....
