Devlog#18: Introducing puzzle element - Fan
Welcome to the latest edition of our Toyzone devlogs. Today, we are delighted to introduce a captivating new feature: the Fan! This addition injects a breath of fresh air (quite literally) into the gameplay, enhancing the interactive elements and offering players exciting new challenges to conquer.
To enhance the gameplay mechanics, we have introduced a battery system to power the fan. Players now have the task of ensuring a reliable power supply in order to activate and control the fan's movement. By connecting the fan to a pressure button, players can easily activate it with a simple press, adding a satisfying tactile element to the gameplay.
From a visual standpoint, the Fan is designed to resemble a delightful toy-like pedestal fan. One of the standout visual features is a captivating ring-like element on its side view. When the battery is connected and the fan is powered, vibrant blue lines rotate within the ring, providing players with a clear visual cue of the fan's activation status. This subtle yet effective indicator enhances the overall immersion and engagement.
The mechanics behind the fan's movement were carefully developed, utilizing the concept of RPM (revolutions per minute) to accurately represent its circular motion. Through a meticulously crafted formula, we combine the RPM value with degrees per second, which indicates the extent of rotation within a second. Taking into account factors such as delta time and the fan's speed, we calculate the distance covered in revolutions per second. As players increase the speed of the fan, they will witness a greater rotational velocity, resulting in a more dynamic and captivating gameplay experience.
While the fan's introduction serves as a gentle introduction to the puzzle element in the initial levels, we have exciting challenges in store for subsequent levels. Our intention is to present players with intriguing scenarios that require not only activating the fan but also locating and properly positioning the battery within the container. This added complexity ensures that players must strategize and think critically to progress, offering a satisfying sense of achievement upon successfully overcoming each level.
Here’s a video to provide you with a comprehensive preview of the fan's mechanics and its impact on gameplay. Witness firsthand how the fan operates, from activation to varying speeds, and gain insight into the intriguing challenges it presents.
