Well met!

Well, actually this isn’t Hearthstone. But I do bring you another snippet from a pleasurable game I had previously worked on, Brink of Ruin. If you were a fan of how we broke down Seagulls, you might like a snippet of some of the images describing the level layouts for Brink of Ruin!

Here’s another cool snippet of the design to come on our Forest level copied from our Game Design Document:

Environmental Mechanics

• Falling Platforms (forest)- Tree-top leafs connected in hexagonal shapes may be knocked out by certain boss attacks, causing the player to take damage and fall outside of attack range to a lower layer.

Figure 2.0 – a design draft of the ‘falling leaves’ mechanic. Leafs function as platforms, collision based off of invisible connected hexagons, that when hit by certain boss attacks, fall to a lower level of the stage. Players make climb the ramp back up, or have allies break pods that contain ‘vines’ teammates can climb back up on for a limited time. Boss is located in the center of the stage.
