One Way Wall - Katherine "Kezmet" Laczin

Game mechanic: "One Way Wall/Floor/Ceiling" ( = 1WW)

Katherine "Kez" Laczin

Summary:

Like many 2D platformers, players can jump up through a floor, and land on top of it. This mechanic takes the idea further to include walls, ceilings, catwalks, etc,. set to change between collisions / no collisions based on triggers (and soon, toggleable) within a 3D world.

Here's the basic Kismet outline for a 1WW:

The mechanic concept can be taken farther than that, of course.

Here's the Kismet for a series of floating platforms that start out with No_Collisions. Obviously, if a player wants to get across the platforms, they'll need to trigger them to have collisions. (click to enlarge image)

More screenshots and info will be here soon!
