City of Serlon

Dive into this isolate world! Be quick to elude the malicious patrolling units, whilst you look for the missing parts to an escape craft. Can you find them all?

I have been working on adding some particle effects before out London show. This effect is meant to be wind, to visually support the hovering mechanic offered by the holes in the island.

Thank you to everyone that managed to make it to the WSA summer degree show! The arcade was great and we learned a lot from watching everyone play our game! 👍 We look forward to improving our game before our London Show in July! More info soon.

Some gameplay screenshots. We have 2 weeks left for hand-in. We are adding finishing touches to make our project a stand-alone experience. Anyone should be able to pick up the controller and play.

More testing + new tutorial! At this point, most of our work consists of optimising. We are also focussing on aesthetics more heavily now. It's coming together nicely!

In an attempt to make the wall jumps smoother, this crazy bug came up. Dont worry though...

[City of Serlon @OfSerlon]

Wall Jump it is! @YasinNosor has already upgraded it and made it a lot smoother! Not without issues though. Stay tuned to see the upgrades in our next posts!

4/4

Just as with the first two mechanics, we are asking questions to make sure we choose the optimal one to ameliorate our game experience. We are worried this one may be a bit choppy / awkward. Let us know what you think.

Similarly to Hover, Double Jump is dynamic and leaves the player in control. Is it too easy? Does it fit in our setting though? Does it feel right? Is it plausible in relation to our narrative? Does it look smooth? Let us know what you think!

2/4

Hover makes it easy to overcome any obstacle without need for precision or timing. This forgiving mechanic eliminates frustration from the experience. The challenge is to not make the game too easy by constraining the mechanic for balance.

1/4

Thanks everyone who voted on the previous post! The following 3 posts will showcase each of the mechanics mentioned. Hover, Multi-Jump and Wall Bounce. Let us know which you think looks best. This first one is the original CLIMB.

Which movement mechanic do you think would be the most compatible, enjoyable / smooth?

[City of Serlon @OfSerlon]

Right now jumping, climbing, and general movement around the city is too choppy. Here are some alternative solutions we came up with. Which would you choose? (poll on next tweet)

Here is some new footage of me explaining the change of the climbing mechanic within the game. We are progressing well!
