Update #02
Started to work on the base gameplay. Implemented a character into Unity, Added run and jump animations, created a scrolling background, added layers to the game (Background, Mid/Main, Foreground). Using TK2D for level building, but that will start once I have all the gameplay elements implemented into the game.

If we fail to reach the entire goal, we will still create the base game and cut out extra features such as unique locations, animated cinematics and custom music/sfx so we can still tell the story we want to and create the game for people who are interested in it.
