Joy of Games: Assignment #4 Marble Madness

 

Inspired by Anni Alber’s weavings and patterns for level design. How to have the restricted color palette objects cast into a theme for the level. Ex: Sandy tone = a sand physics material or to have the yellow be construction barriers that when collided bring you back to the start. Would like to comb back through and add some collisions & triggers, as well as more complex gameObjects like hinge movements.

Design Choices: 

• Yellow blocks as kill / restart zones 
  • for a signifier added stripes to look more like construction barriers
• Dark purple blocks
  • added physics material of bouncy to some
  • would like to make some hinges
• Light purple blocks 
  • visual misdirection (could use as a powerup strip and add sound fx) /
• White planes 
  • start & end
    • would like to add an onCollision or trigger
• Tan platform
  • physics material of sandy
    • slower zone
• White platform
  • physics material of icy
    • faster zone
