Potatar, do games w Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?

You write a very very very deterministic and guessable AI for the knight.

Your princess sets the scene, then you watch helplessly as your knight fails or succeeds with the given help. So… a stop motion puzzle game

Head Over Heels. Somehow I eventually managed to complete it, after much trial and error.

Chrono Trigger had me looking up guides as several points just to find a way to progress.

This sounds similar to another game I’ve seen (never played) that you are trapped in a security closet and trying to assist another person in both freeing you and escaping the dungeon you both find yourselves in using the door locks and CCTV cameras and things of that nature that you have access to in your prison. I think it even came before Five Nights at Freddy’s, but I don’t remember the name of the game.

In a way, the game play ends up being like Lemmings or ICO, where you’re solving a puzzle indirectly for another character to get beyond.

I’ve never played it but ‘Pony Island’ seems to have a pink color scheme and I’m guessing it’s about ponies, so maybe?

Abiotic Factor, survival in a facility like Half-Life with crafting, survival and exploration. Really great game and it’s pretty hard understanding where to go

Ulrich, do gaming w I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought.

Q-OLED and kind of fell in love. Was ready to purchase one until, I was not. I found out it’s not a good match for productivity usage due to burn-in issue

This is an old view carrying over from old monitors. It wasn’t much of an issue before and definitely isn’t now. People have been trying to intentionally burn in OLED monitors to show how difficult it is. Like, leaving it on the same bright image on full brightness 24/7 and it takes months to generate any sort of noticeable burn-in.

Been playing Diablo 2 Resurrected again, so… Diablo 2. Especially on higher difficulties some of those areas (Durance of Hate, f.ex) are extremely maze-like and the only reliable way to navigate it is to just follow the left wall no matter what.

Otherwise, I played a demo for a game years ago that I can’t remember the name of anymore that was built around non-Euclidian geometry, so walking through a door in one direction would take you to one place, but walking back in the other would take you somewhere else instead of back to where you came from and such.

Even as a guy, I love the new Hello Kitty game.

My significant other loves it even more. Lmao

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is similar to a very relaxed cross between Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild. There are elements that depend on time passing in the real world such as socializing, holidays, and getting certain resources, and there are also a lot of very funny and cute storylines featuring all the Sanrio characters. You don’t need to be initiated into them to have a nice time (I sure wasn’t).

There’s no combat, but there are many other systems and areas to unlock that make the game feel deeper than it originally looks.

It also has multiplayer, if that’s something you’d use!

Sylvartas, (edited ) do games w Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?

You have to do some work for the tower’s master and/or you need to gather informations for the knight. That could be stuff like cleaning their orbs so they can ponder them later, preparing/finding magical critters to be used in their potions, putting away his stupid sentient magical artifacts that keep trying to escape or do some shenanigans… Whatever. And try to gather information/find escape routes etc. But imo if there is some knight gameplay, it should be a minor part of the experience, otherwise you will indeed feel like you’re just playing the knight.

Edit: I think you could still have a fair share of knight gameplay if you make the princess gameplay some sort of walking sim where you wander around the tower, possibly under time constraints, and when it’s over, your have a knight section. You can figure out tons of way to make these gameplay segments interact too. For example there could be roadblocks to the knights progression that require the princess to do/find something. That could be mixed with Libra’s idea of having the princess cast spells and do other stuff during the knight’s segments, by having the player find the spells/artifacts required during the princess segments

If you like puzzles, and greenery instead of pink:

Botany Manor, which is fundamentally about the feminine urge to go alone into a giant manor and grow some cool flowers

Terra Nil, which is about going to a desolate planet and using the power of technology to grow some cool flowers

I would suggest searching Steam for games.

I don’t be leave this is a pension but rather a bot collecting date.

And on the Mind Craft and Animalsers Cross.

No combat necessary.
