Will glow the wisp is a physics based abstract platformer, with a unique theme and movement mechanics. You play as a Will o the wisp and try to maneuver around an ever-changing abstract world, which tries to harm you. The movement is physics based and you have to experience it to fully understand it, it is best described as a mix of Super Meat Boy and Flappy Bird. The game is currently in development and it might change a lot, everyone who wants to help me develop the game is more than welcome.

In this Episode i talk about how I am planning on implementing the different difficulty settings and go over all the other things on my ToDo list of the second Alpha.

Posted by on

This episode is pretty game design heavy, and here is the ToDo list i am going over in this episode:

Alpha V2 ToDo

  • Add 3 Player Avatars to have a way for different difficulties
  • Give people the opportunity to change color of an avatar
  • Add a way to change the avatars
  • Add a narrator to guide people through the experience
  • Go deeper then the beginning with the narrator, Do that funny?
  • Add stops at the beginning of levels with a lot of explanation
  • Add stop after a player died without user input
  • Add new levels and restructure existing ones (change them if needed), goal is to have the player feel some sort of mastery before learning something new [current thinking is, to let player learn how to play in a certain way and afterwards let them experience their freshly learned mastery, afterwards add a new mechanic]
  • Reward should be new avatars (probably needed for alpha)
  • Just for alpha v2 add really hard levels at the end to give good people something to do
  • Add pause in the game
  • Refactor UI (currently performance problem)

Optional stuff

  • Add /change music
  • Add High score for Youtubers
