Features

• Gauntlet Mechanic: A key feature of Jules is the use of a specialized glove for interacting with objects.Many objects in the game are designed to respond to the light. When players shine light on these objects, they collect and store the light energy. Each object has a specific light threshold it needs to reach. Once the required number of light interactions is achieved, the object activates and begins to perform its intended behavior or function.
• environmental progression : The continuous progression of the environment each time you complete a puzzle.
• Light Interactables : Different objects that are activated only through the reception of lights. Players can interact with objects by activating and deactivating their functions.
• Base Interaction: Inside the game there are sheets of paper where the player will discover parts of the narrative by interacting with them.

The House Scatter Tool combines real-time visualization, snapping mechanics, and optimized object placement to improve level design workflows. Its UI-based prefab selection and intuitive controls ensure a seamless experience. Below are the key mechanics that define how the tool functions.

• Light Interactables:Developed the light mechanic, including the creation and management of light. Light Creation: Implemented the functionality for the glove to take and give light onto various objects. Animations: Designed and integrated animations for light interactions, ensuring that light transitions and effects were visually appealing and integrated seamlessly into the gameplay. Added ring animations that allow the player to understand how many lights the object needs to function
• Object Behaviors with Light Interaction: Worked on defining and programming the different behaviors of interactive objects that respond to light. These include: Altar: Implemented an altar that serves as a repository for collected lights. This object accumulates light and plays a role in gameplay progression by storing and managing light resources. Light Door: Created a door that opens and closes based on the number of light interactions. The door’s movement is triggered when the required light threshold is met. Generator: Created a generator that activates additional light-interactive objects once it receives the correct amount of light. Moving Platform: Designed a platform that moves along a spline path once it receives the correct amount of light. Rotating Platform: Created a rotating platform that can rotate around any axis once it receives the correct amount of light. Sequence Altar: altars that must be activated with a specific sequence to activate their behavior
• Base Interactive System:Created a system of basic interactive objects that help players better understand the narrative.
• Gauntlet Power-Ups: Power-Up Design: Created various power-ups that provide temporary enhancements or new abilities for the gauntlet, such as the number of storing lights.
• Player Health:Managed the health system for the player, including: Health States: Implemented health status tracking, including the player's health, death state, and respawn mechanics. Death and Respawn: Developed the system to handle player death, including triggering respawn sequences and managing game states during these transitions.
