New free knife tool

Posted by Jerome Blouin at 07:59 AM on November 27, 2009

Hi all,


the last weeks or last month have been really busy for me. My day job prevented me to progress on my game. Before this I had developed a new tool called the swap tool. It allowed to swap 2 blocks and was supposed to be used with hammer to remove used blocks. Well, this tool may seems fun but the design of levels for it is more difficult than planned. And the fact of switching tools with space bar doesn't fit very well the hand position in my opinion.


So I put the swap tool on hold and decided to go with a new one called the free knife. This tool is like the simple knife except that you're not penalized using it, but if you put blocks in the trash can then you lose 3 seconds (this is to discourage cheating with the trash can). I already have planned for 10 levels in which most of them will use the the free knife. So with this tool, you'll build much more detailed structures like a human face with multiple colors for example. This will open the gameplay for more detailed levels with more colors without making levels too difficult since you'll be able to move blocks without penalty. You can see this tool as a way to draw things in a funny and challenging way.


So stay tuned with the progress.
