Trichromatic! (Now with level editor!)

Post by Blast!10 » Mon Jul 04, 2011 9:13 am

Three Colours is a game in development.

It is made of three colours.

Actually, more than three.

Red ball can only step on red platforms.
Green ball can only step on green platforms.
Blue ball can only step on blue platforms.

Skillfully change the color in mid-air to prevent the ball from falling.

And then, when does it get complicated?

Believe me, it does.

Maybe you can even guess how it works.

Maybe not.

We'll see.

I'm seeing yellow and purple blocks in the preview with arrows on them. It shows the ball was green when bouncing with the yellow arrow block.

Green and red mixed is yellow. So green and red can bounce when on a yellow block and not blue. The purple block can make red and blue bounce as purple is formed when those two colors are mixed and green does not bounce. Am I right?

It's actually a bit more complicated than that.
highlight to see what I wrote:Look carefully - it's not yellow but orange, and not exactly purple but more purple-bluish.

Orange consists of 100% red, 50% green and 0% blue. When the ball is red, it bounces to a certain height; when it's green it bounces lower, and when it's blue it falls through.

If the game gets long enough we might implement online saving... stay tuned.

I like it, neat idea.

I have an idea, why don't you make it that there are switches to change the ball's colour.

Then it will be a platform game and puzzle game mixed! :D

(just a suggestion)

The point is switching colours by pressing keys on your keyboard.

But it would be fun if a mask (?) suddenly changes the ball's colour.

I'm getting some ideas. See attachment.

And yes, at the top of the picture is a place where you constantly have to change color without jumping.

(Fun fact: I speak [mostly] American English, and yet I can't imagine this game being named "Three Colors", as opposed to "Three Colours". I'm weird.)

So we see a blinking killer wall and impenetrable white walls. This is getting more and more epic. Now all we need is a few insanely difficult color-changing upward climbs and we're all set.

Also, what happens if you change your color to red while inside a red wall?

There's probably a collision handler to just eject you upwards at ludicrous speed in times like that.

Too exploitable. You should either remain inside motionless until you change color again... or explode because two things cannot occupy one place at the same time.

Slightly not what I meant, but still awesome. I meant vertical corridors full of different tiles and you need to properly jump through tiles and then stay on them in order to ascend the corridor.

Nyrrrrrr.
I really hope you get to releasing this soon, even a demo, because you're teasing me with these screenshots. x3

Blasted cough you have there. x3

But really, I'm quite psyched to play this. It's so complex considering how simplistic the idea is.

Are those lasers? Awesome!

Do you have to turn it off with some button or can you pass through by color-changing?

You have to pass through by color changing – in this game, you don't need to think only about what color the ball is, but also about what color it isn't.

So the laser is cyan which is mixed with green and blue. Which is true?

- red cannot pass
- red can pass
- must be passed while blue is changing with green or vice versa
