Want to make your game jam characters more interesting?
You don’t need deep backstories or complex motivations
All you need is:
1 strong trait
and
1 point of friction that challenges it
Here’s an example using Cyborg

Microwave man is a simple platformer
But it's more interesting because it uses a microwave robot
lesson here: be a little weird, a little strange, a little different, and you can make simple into interesting

Ignore the blur, I'm not sure why it's like that
1 v 1 fighting is hard, but Wombat Combat had an interesting feature that makes it interesting
The enemy is constantly darting around, leading to moments where it's behind you, and can get hits in
That's neat

One of my goals for this month is to set up NPC routines
I have patrol routes already sorted, but I want them to stop at points and do an action
This then helps with levels like Kitchens where NPC workers can do work realistically

Fun day today finishing off a blog and why we never saw the nemesis system in other games
A great system, creating organic dynamic enemies, but I think it only works in certain settings...
Should be out tomorrow

The Hardland fight is great
He starts on the upper level, and runs between walkways
So you're looking up, but he's placed mines on the ground
A great example of using elevation to create gameplay moments

Will likely also be the Itch cover
Does it make you want to play?
Looking to improve my Itch cover skills to get more conversions

Fallout New Vegas is terrifying
The Repconn basement is cramped corridors with invisible enemies that attack with melee weapons
Cramped spaces, strong melee enemies, and a player disadvantage = memorable gameplay moment

Telltales Batman manipulates players PERFECTLY
We all know Harvey Dent in 2 face
So we do everything we can to prevent him from turning
Saving him instead of others etc
But he turns anyway
Which reinforces the question of "does Batman make a difference"

It's a completely unexpected jump scare, which shocks the player
That shock stays with you, and stays in your mind whenever you're grappling in case it happens again
