Devlog#11: Introducing puzzle element - Bridge
In developing the Enchanted Forest area of Lost Twins, our team was tasked with incorporating puzzle elements that would enhance the forest ambiance. After several brainstorming sessions, we decided to include a bridge as one of the puzzles. The broken bridge would give the impression that it is fragile and could break at any moment, but in actuality, it can only collapse when both characters have stepped onto it.
To bring our idea to life, we first constructed each section of the bridge as individual meshes. We then imported them into the Unity Engine, where we merged them together. Initially, the bridge appears intact to the user, but when both characters step onto it, each mesh detaches from the others.
To achieve the effect of a dramatic bridge collapse, we applied various physics principles such as force, torque, and gravity to the individual pieces. This caused them to collapse and fall apart when the bridge was destroyed. We also added particle effects to enhance the visual impact of the collapsing bridge.

Our team tested the puzzle element several times to ensure that it was challenging but not impossible to solve. We also took feedback from beta testers to make adjustments where necessary. Overall, the broken bridge puzzle element was a success and has been a favorite among the team.The result is an engaging and visually impressive puzzle that complements the forest ambiance and adds to the overall immersive experience of the game.
