-
Grapple mechanic
-
Simple enemies
NPCs and Dialogues
For this project I worked on simple NPCs that in the game serve several roles:
-
Each new NPC that you meet rewards you with a new mechanic (Double jump, Grapple, Wall climb etc.).
-
NPCs act as traders and sell you new collectibles and cosmetics (Hats).
-
They also allow you to change your currently equipped cosmetics.
-
When interacting the player is often offered multiple choices, NPCs will remember the player's choices.
Grapple hook
To make traversal more dynamic and fun, I worked on a grapple hook:
-
Grapple hook can be chained with jumps, dashes and wall climbs to overcome many obstacles.
-
To make grapple hook easy to use and help player focus on the game, the game automatically picks a grapple point in a direction where the player is aiming.
-
Grapple can also be used to pull specific objects towards the player.
Simple enemies
To add more variety to obstacles in our game, I created simple enemies:
-
Enemies detect the player in front of them.
-
After detecting the player they charge towards them.
-
Enemies can be stunned by grappling them or they will be stunned if they miss their charge attack.
-
Jumping on top of a stunned enemy will launch the player upwards.
