A particular piece of feedback I asked from playtesters were ideas for any new enemy types, as this presented the most potential for introducing variation in play style as well as content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A suggestion that stood out was adding “mines” to the game, that would have the potential to wipe out several members of the player’s crowd. I also realised this could be used by the player to destroy enemies, too. More options for skilful play was something I noticed was lacking in the current build of the game, so this was an addition I had to implement and test as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with a simple Line2D sprite, I then added code to detect the player entering and start a 3 beat countdown using my dynamic music\/beat system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The explosion itself is a separate scene that emits a particle effect and contains a hitbox that deals damage to any object with a hurtbox. This includes the player, enemies and any ravers you currently have in your crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
