I'm always asking myself "how can this reinforce my theme?"
In art, in writing, in mechanics, everything
I want to create a sense of dread and doom
My opponent is clearly very talented, and cocky, and that creates dread

The Scarcrow boss fights are simple
Avoid him, and some simple traversal challenge
But it shows that simple mechanics can be memorable if you have great visuals
and in this case... the enemy is MASSIVE
Simple changes, memorable experience

The United Strand wouldn't be as popular if he DIDN'T have an afro
The uniqueness is important
It's why others doing this challenge don't hit the same
His afro looks cool, which is why it works

My gamejam game uses randomisation
Randomness is an OP system for gamejam games because it creates dynamic experiences
Each player will have a slightly different experience
and that can lead to discussion (free marketing)
What tricks do you use?

The main mechanic is complete, I could post it now
Or I could dedicate the next week to building in more mechanics no one will ever play but will be good lessons for me
What to do, what to do...

Why is the Warden so terrifying?
He spawns due to your failure
The player will sneak through his lair trying not to summon him
But if they fail, they’ll likely be deep in the lair
Meaning just running away is a HARD task
Creating a memorable moment

I can now add more worldbuilding, character depth, and quest giving

The gulag creates a memorable moment of high tension
Fights in the game are sudden and frantic
But the gulag is a 1v1, you wait for it, you watch others fight, and death is the end
It turns simply dying into a moment you don’t forget

Lowdown is a fascinating map
The underwater sections allow for almost invisible traversal but leave you open to attack
Leading to a trade off between surprise attacks (that need to work) or a more traditional firefight with fallback options

One of my goals for this weekend is to overhaul my dialogue system
I want to make it more like Morrowinds, with various one off questions you can ask, and a lot more backstory
Opens the doors to deeper characters and world building

Why is Nuketown a fast paced map?
Each "area" has a minimum of 3 possible routes enemies can come from
Meaning that you're always running around, always watching your back, and always at risk

This one behaviour makes random gang members interesting to fight in Cyberpunk 2077
Gangsters will stand on street corners in small groups...
But they SPREAD out when attacked
This means you can get flanked, rushed, and out manoeuvred

Enemies can be powerful as long as they're fair
Mr X chases you relentlessly
But his attack only takes half your health and the player is faster than him
So he's scary, but it's fair
This is key for powerful enemies

Want to create better hand to hand combat in your game?
Allow "knockdowns" during fights
It's realistic and changes the dynamic of the fight
The player can be winning, but then be knocked down by a lucky punch, putting them on the back foot

How to make gun fights more interesting:
1. Use elevation (high ground vs low ground advantages)
2. Enemies "appear" suddenly (immediate threat, changes player behaviour)
3. Aggressive enemies (organically changes fight dynamics)
Any others?
