Thomas here!

I want to share something cool from the development of JKQ. Namely “One-way platforms”!

The point is to have platforms where you can enter through from one side and not another. You can’t land on top of a One-way that [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED], it acts as if you were jumping “in front of it” rather than “on it”. To get on top you have to [REDACTED][REDACTED]

How One-ways work

• You pass through them from all sides that are not [REDACTED]

• [REDACTED][REDACTED] One-way means you can not land on it in the [REDACTED](you have to [REDACTED])

• If you reach zero health which means you are [REDACTED][REDACTED] you will [REDACTED] the platform if you [REDACTED] on top of it instead of [REDACTED]

What they are for

• Creating a slight feeling of [REDACTED] between platforms

• New cool [REDACTED][REDACTED] that did not exist in the original Jump King

• New types of interesting dynamics for [REDACTED](it is pretty important that we can design that well)

• New dynamic and [REDACTED] paths (which allows for more open levels)

NOTE: This is Thomas’ interpretation and might not align with the original intentions of the level design team. -erkstock

Regarding health

If you run out of health and “die” you can [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED]. We want moments in JKQ where you have a chance to encounter enemies or even [REDACTED] and experience [REDACTED] on top of these platforms.

I have [REDACTED][REDACTED] I want to share in the future. If I can get them approved by the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. This is some [REDACTED] we are talking about!

See ya
