Movable Blocks & Collectible Decorations

Movable blocks: Movable blocks are moved by push either by the smiley or by other movement sources.

▼ Settings, Mechanics, Features:

Mechanics:
- Those are able to use conveyors, mobility action tools such as arrows and boosts and go through open doors and certain action tools that has no solid hitbox, sawblade hazards, portals e.g.
- Movable blocks falls in smiley speed in case of being on a "cliff" (those move only 1 block towards the cliff)
- In case of a movable block is on top of a pressure plate, it will be active for the while the movable block is on it.
- Press E (or customized keybind) to spend the collected decorative items to be able to move the movable block.

Settings:
- ID to interact with the resetter movable block.
- Face expression. (Plenty of different expressions to choice).

▼Concepts:

- Request item: On/Off
If selected ON, the builder sets the item and the amount required to unlock the movable the block. (Able to request multiple items at once).

Features:
- Movable blocks: The smiley can jump and move them (unless the block request someting so open, a decorative item collected for example).
- Reset blocks position: Reset block position of same ID. (If select -1, resets all of then).
- Movable block gate: Allow the block to step on it if active.
- Movable block resetter: For the feature above.

Details:
- The smiley can go through the movable block gates, those don´t not collide with the smiley.

Situation:
- In case the smiley is under a moving block falling, the smiley would die if stomped by it.
- Only able to trigger pressure plates, no other type of key or switch.

Collectible decorations: The player is able to collect decorations, those specific decorations has a number of amount.

▼Quote from the EE Discord server:

Filipwoj: Alternatively couldn't it be coins instead of cherries?
Answer:
The cosmetic feature allows to use any cosmetic in replace of using IDs (allowing to requiring only to show one number on screen instead of two (number and ID to just number).
It could use coins in case there is cosmetic coins (decorative doors has all the features the coin had in EE plus some extra more)
It can use any cosmetic as a currency for gameplay

▼Settings, Features, Details:

Settings:
- Decoration item: Work as the ID of the collectible, differentiated from other IDs (Able to request multiple items at once).
- Amount required to open: 1-999.

Setting only for collectible (decoration, not the door):
- Max stack: Max amount of collectibles the smiley can carry for that item.
- Spawn time: Amount of time per collectible spawn: (-1 Does not spawn again / 0 Spawn instantly / 1-999 Spawn in that amount of seconds)
- Positive/Negative: If it is a positive collectible, the player gains collectible, if it is a negative collectible, the player loses collectible.
- Amount collected: 1-999: The player gets this amount when collecting the collectible.

Features:
- Collectible holder bag (inventory): holds the decoration item being collectible. (On player "building" tab, with a scrollbar  for further inventory).
- Collectible door: Opens when the collectible amount is met.

Details:
- Press E (or customized keybind) to spend the collected decorative items.

How do you make these animations? Is that an actual playable prototype you use in your posts?

The process is very extensive and time consuming:
- While the day I think on concepts and ideas, and write them down and do quick draws as memento.
- Create various prototype designs and polish the preferred graphics using Photoshop
- Make a minigame able to display central features and mechanics of the suggestion. (EEO)
- Use Pyxel Edit to switch graphics for the minigame made in EEO with new ones (blocks, hazards, backgrounds).
- Send the assets from Pyxeledit and Photoshop to Aseprite and order them with layers.
- Animate the frames manually one per one (reusing animations when possible) (this one has 200 frames)

▼Aseprite layer order for the animation above

Took one night (like 12 hours) to make the animation above, and I would LOVE to use an actual playable prototype to do these animations lol

Re: Movable Blocks & Collectible Decorations

honestly i mean i think it might be worth your time to learn actual programming and make a game instead of spending your time doing animations for no one

I wouldn't implement this in ee-like game because this is a bit of a diversion from the main concept of the game, it's too complex
making your own game with these mechanics might be cool

Re: Movable Blocks & Collectible Decorations

After I finish with the pending suggestions:
- Liquid new mechanics.
- Grabbing effect action tool.
- Death and Jump visual cosmetics
- Cinematic camera tools
I would be done with the suggestion crusade (might do some extra ones if anyone request for so)
Then I would stop doing graphics and start learning a programming game engine, although as I am illiterate on programming, the success rate of learning is not yet determined. If successful, I would actually make my own games with the features I have been suggesting and some additional ones. (envisioning potential). (Graphics would be changed for new ones).
Downloaded Visual Studio and I have no clue what to do next lol, gonna see where it takes.
