Brief look into environmental obstacles and the stuff ;)


Environmental obstacles

1. Exhibits

Spikes

Once triggered when the player lands on them, it takes only a split second for spikes to shot upwards. Get away from these platforms as soon as possible!

Sushi Monsters (slow, fast variations)

Simple, fodder-type enemies that paces back and forth. No one knows what they are, but they do sort-of look like sentient sushi. Landing on their shells kills them instantly!

Fire platforms (slow, fast variations)

Make sure to pay attention to the direction of the fire orbs before landing on these platforms!

Flying Sushi Monsters (idle, swaying variations)

Much like their grounded counterpart, these monsters can be taken out with a well-placed stomp to the shell - just be sure to look out for a safe place to land after that!

Turrets

Turrets attached to the underside of a platform that's sure to drive up blood pressure. These appears later in the game.

2. Procedural Generation

No 2 play-throughs are the same - obstacles and platforms are created procedurally while bound by several rules to keep the levels from becoming impossible. Said rules are then tweaked for individual levels to ensure more variety in design (and proper difficulty progression)! Levels with loads of spikes? Check! Levels where you just bounce from one monster to the next constantly? Double check!

Hope you've enjoyed this brief look into Serious Scramblers - stay tuned for more!

How goes your day? Here's a rough sketch of Nin Nin done by my friend, Victoria.

Fiddling around with the flocking algorithm. I reckon I’d need to rewrite the separation rule at some point.

SUBMITTED. TO THE JAM. ON TIME. NOW I SLEEP. https://gamejolt.com/games/tinyshipsfromouterspace/639068

I've been working on a new game and am happy to announce that it's coming to mobile devices on Jan 11! It's a game about dodging sawblades - if you like what you see, please consider pre-registering :D! Link: https://sawblades.chinykian.com/

Serious Scramblers post-mortem! Enough time has passed for me to talk about the development and launch in detail~ (video was originally uploaded to youtube but I thought I'll share it here as well)

Serious Scramblers is now LIVE! For the price of less than a cup of coffee you can partake in a mad scramble into the abyss. (macOS build will be uploaded once I fixed some issues)
