Advanced Play Design - Week 7 - Character and Events

Method:

Construct 3

Context:

I used the game Kirby as a reference to work on this particular excercise. I kept trying to think about the way a character is affected by it's surrounding environemnt, and the way this might change it's structure. Kirby usually absorbs it's enemies, and his design changes, his skills change as well.

Response:

I generated a simple interactive piece in Construct 3, the Flame is affected by the objects oscillating around it. The player is able to drag the objects and change the colour of the Flame. I want to use a similar idea for my Studio projec. I think it about using objects or events that could be fed into the character to make it produce an especific emotion, or change it's state according to the object's properties. These can be treated as special events that appear from time to time and could help keep the character's emotions in check, or make it more complicated.
