Game objectives thoughts - woopsie


The minimum it needs to be called a game is almost there, with the exception of an actual objective. Today I caught myself saying “ok, what’s the objective again?”… And I realized I didn’t think about it. That’s some professional game designing right there!

Anyway, I did have a vague idea about making it the standard level based system, and in each level you had to go from point A to point B. But now that I can play with it I realize how volatile the whole game is with the map turning upside down all the time, it might not be a good idea to follow that formula so commom in platform games.

Thus I’m thinking in making each level a set of objectives the player can choose from or choose the order of completion. Example: Save all hostages and kill all bad guys. In this example the player has to be careful not to blow up the map before the hostages are rescued but can release hell after that. And it has a open world flavor to it, allowing the player to chose where to go from first. Then there could be a leaderboard for time records :)

Any comments or suggestions…?

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!
