I seriously can NOT wait for these games, I mean, Heat Signature, and This! and all the other stuff! You are a treasure trove of good ideas.

So you alternate the two players, swinging end over end. The first player grabs the ceiling, the second player swings under them and grabs the ceiling further on, then the first player releases and swings below, etc – it would feel kinda like the two hands of a monkey swinging from branch to branch. Controls could be as simple as ‘grab/release’, and you could add ‘extend/contract’ to finesse momentum by adjusting rope length.

Is the rope a LineRenderer?

You should play through at least a handful of lost vikings 2 (a childhood favorite of mine), I suspect that will help you a ton. Multispecialists hests also smacks of monaco, a game I’m sure you’re already familiar with.

Can’t wait to see the finish product, There is really a lot of potential here :)

Firstly, I loved all your articles on PCGamer(I fell down my chair laughing at the Hitman Absolution article), and will definitely play gunpoint some time. :) Also, I love grappling hooks. I was sadly disappointed by Bionic Commando Rearmed as there was no jump. You must have jump. That’ll give the player mobility and momentum with the grappling hook. Also, I think that the second character could be doing much more. Her mobility should not be restricted by the other player. Perhaps you could do something like mutual dependence? Also, please do make this game! I love the physics of the grappling hook! You could make this a stealth game more focused on mobility with the player(s) being chased by guards(some of which could have their own grappling hooks) after a theft and what not. Oh, the possibilities. I would be really delighted if you even consider any of my requests.

Can already see potential for a variety of levels in this.. Jailbreaks, bank robbing, jewel thieving. Awesome

Local coop would be pretty easy to do implement, but I’m not sure how good the grappling hook would work using a gamepad. But internet coop is still very doable. There’s a multiplayer tutorial here. http://www.youtube.com/user/quill18creates?feature=watch
Or you can ask me, I’d be happy to share some knowledge.

One thing that sounds a bit troublesome, is that with coop, puzzle design is quite different. You probably don’t want a player just hanging around waiting for others to do their thing untill it’s finally their turn.

Looking forward to the next iteration

Also, the fatness could be part of game mechanic. He is hard to haul upwards maybe or something.

Either way it looks great, I’m really looking forward to playing this.
