Hello fellow GameDevs!
This is my very first post here, and i'm sorry, if i posted something wrong.
Prolog:
I made a plattformer with only jumping/climbing challenges and without any evil NPCs that could kill the Player. Just jumping around.
My 2 younger Brothers tried it yesterday and i observed, that this game is a bit harder for new Players, than i thought. Now i'm thinking about setting different difficulties (easy, medium, hard) or dynamic difficulty-change (change difficulty after 5-10deaths, changing back after level completed).
Question:
What do you think about slightly changing deep control variables, like jumpHeight/jumpDistance?
I fear that the controls could get “unauthentic” and confusing the players perception of the “feeling” from the controls.
I could not find anything on this kind of topic.
It would be very easy for me to implement this, but i dont want to destroy the players experience..
Sorry for my english und thanks in advance!
Dom
PS: many thanks for all the threads in this forum! they helped me a lot, in the past months! ?
Game Difficulties - OK to change "deep" control-variables?
For a platformer game, I would expect the jumps to be consistent regardless of difficulty. For difficulty I would expect things like duration of power ups, frequency of power ups, or amount of damage taken.
