Hi, Color Swith a buildbox made game is able to create level unlock with different worlds, anyone knows how he is doing this?
The publisher of Color Switch partnered with a popular dev house (Eyebox Games) and they updated the app to use native code. So this update is not using Buildbox anymore. That said, with Buildbox 2.0 all of their updates in the game will be possible. The challenges section would be done with the new multiple worlds feature. Actually, it's more than "unlocking worlds" as it's simply unlocking a button. In other words, you could unlock a credits screen or special menu if you wanted too as well. For each buttons, we will have the following options for unlocking: In Game Currency Real Money Coin Amount Score Amount Rewarded Video Unlock Logic The last one, unlock logic, works like this: We are making a new logic piece that you can drag into your game field. When the character touches this logic piece, it will then unlock the button of your choice. For example, when they get to the end of World 1, you can have a huge Unlock Logic piece covering the final area. When they hit this area, it will unlock World 2. Then you can have another logic piece that warps them to the level select screen and they will see World 2 is open... or you could of course warp them straight to level 2 and bypass the menu. We will bring this functionality over to characters as well. So you can unlock special characters in game or by hitting certain score/coin amount.
It appears not. Via the Buildbox Blog. Update: It has come to our attention the publisher of Color Switch has recently teamed up with the popular development house Eyebox Games. Together they have submitted an update to Color Switch that is ported from Buildbox to native code so they could add custom features. This new version plays identical to the original in gameplay and we’re excited to announce that every custom feature they added will be available in Buildbox 2.0. Buildbox 2.0 will be officially released in Q1 2016 and can be tested now through our early access program.
Trey, you are awesome - the level unlock feature sounds perfect. One question, will each world/level have it's own score?
@TreySmith Thank you for the information! I need unlocking buttons for my game, I hope this is possibe on the next update
These unlocking features sound amazing @TreySmith Unlocking Logic - now that's got the old cerebral juices flowing Can't wait, thanks.
Hi there, Any chance that the unlock feature will work as an observer or maybe to have the observer to unlock levels? Eg: when user collects 5000 coins level 2 will have the option to be unlocked and not by touching the actual logic unlock piece? Perhaps to use observer to have set the coin amount and perhaps there can be another dropdown where there can be: level unlock, character unlock, power up unlock and so on? Regards, John
