Do you want to learn more about the combat system and master unruly martial art? Well, our designers Damien and Simon will explain you everything. Take notes and warm up your fingers.
The Journey to the West tale is a mythological story about the Monkey King fighting against a different big demon at each new story. This is why the first influence we had was God of War, since it's a blend of exploration, fights and some light puzzles.
When we designed the battle system at the beginning, it was a bit confusing. There were two combos: the light and the heavy. But people didn't seem to catch the difference between the two of them. Also, the heavy combos tended to have really amazing animations but since it was so slow, it was hard to see it in the game.
Which is why we balanced the way we did: Each combo had a different "finisher" (taken from the old heavy combos). So instead, we used the Y button to put "special attacks", a bit like in Smash Bros. The idea was that the players could build their own combos if they wanted: launching the enemy in the air, making a float attack, dashing on the ground to immediately doing an anti-air attack etc. That kind of cool stuff.
It was a delicate balance... We wanted the game to be not only for core gamers so we couldn't make those moves too mandatory to progress in the game but some of them are quite useful:
- the Heavy Attack ( Down + Special ) which generally sends all enemies flying and makes a significant alternative finisher that extend combos,
- the Anti Air attack in order to clean some bullets from enemies,
- the Distance Attack (Special) for some special cases like if you want to hit those tiny crocodiles when you are on your boat in TaoistTemple .
The "Super Attack" was always there but we also had some kind of "Charged Attack" which was.... Really hard to balance. The idea was to have a special button which the player could use to charge a very powerful attack: The more you charge, the more damage it could do. The thing is: We never forgot that we are a 4-players multiplayer game which means it can be messy really quick and it was quite easy to spam it during a fight and it wasn't all that fun in the end... Most players tended to forget it for more fun moves anyway so yeah, we cut it.
Once we decided what our battle system was, we put a lot of effort into each character's combos: they had to be impressive with a great sense of rhythm. Since we had 4 players, we designed 4 different rhythms in order to differentiate each heroes.
We saw that players play Wukong most of the time (hey, it's the Monkey King, right?). But, Sanzang is actually one of the best against big bosses since he is the only one who can use his power up in the air. He does also a more damage to overcome the fact that he is a bit slower than other heroes.
The problem now is to balance the enemies. There are different kinds of environments in the game. We couldn't use the same enemies over and over like other beat-em-all games. This balance was made by having more enemy types or having the enemies withstanding more hit before being stun (it makes a huge difference between the normal and hard difficulty). A big inspiration for that was Devil May Cry but since Unruly Heroes is a multiplayer game, we couldn't take the same 1v1 approach. So instead, we took some things like the launcher and adapted it to our gameplay: In the air, a normal enemy is basically dead but on the ground, they can still surprise the player by escaping, counter-attacking you or other stuff. That was the basic idea.
Finally, each hero has about 20 attacks/combos and players will encounter almost 50 enemies (regular ones, mini bosses, 5 controllable enemies) and 4 big bosses.
We decided to add a PvP mode so players can test their kung fu style against their friends and see who's the master (ok, also because we, devs, like to fight each other).

Blocktowhat? (not a Pokemon)
#Blocktober (initiated on Twitter by game designer Michael Barclay) celebrates the art of "blocking out" levels in video games.
“Blocking out/in” an area in a game is done to show the scale of an area and to plan how the player will move through it.
It's one of the earliest stages of the level design process where level designers visualize how players will interact in the map and move through. Everything is extremely rough. There is no art, texture work, lightning and other pretty nice details.
To celebrate the Blocktober 2019, Simon (level designer) shares with you the creative process of the 'lava to stone' mecanic (in the last levels of the Mountain of Fire world).
"This feature was initialy conceived a long time ago when pitching ideas for the levels. The idea was that the player could get the Iron Fan from King Bull’s wife (Princess Iron Fan), and that it was so powerfull that it could cool down lava. In the original story, Wukong uses it to cool down the whole mountain.
So it was rappidly prototyped as a mockup, without great precision. The idea was that it was a platform that you could activate when a lava jet was coming out of the lava, it stayed for a few seconds, then it cracked, and after a couple seconds more the lava jet was flowing again. And for some lava jets, the platform created was breakable blocks by blocks, so sometimes you had to break your way through to go high enough to reach the next platform or to open up a way. It was presented to the team who found it cool, but it wasn’t the priority to make this level at the time as it was one of the last levels of the game.
After that, at least 6 months passed until it was time to develop this level. Since 6 months had passed, we had even less time to code the thing and it was almost scrapped. The design team pushed it because we knew it was full of possibilities. So it was decided that we had to prototype the mecanic again but with a behavior that could be easily transposable in every way needed in one single object. And it had to be perfectly ready to be implemented in a finalized level until it was coded, and could be easily replaced by the final object without making changes to the level.
Then, a new prototype arrived, made with our visual scripting tool "Playmaker", but with cooler mecanics, like a physical behavior that made other blocks fall down, and you could break the lava column blocks by blocks but with smaller blocks than initially prototyped, respecting the size of the smallest hit of a player. You could also freeze the lava at any point from the beginning of its flow.
This prototype was rappiddly done as well. And it showed how much possibilities it really had. You could put it in all directions, you could make a wall through which you had to dig, you could wall jump between them, you could make timed challenges. A whole level was made using it in a lot of different ways, like all good GPEs.
But once it was given to the programmers, they said it would be a really complex object to make. It took much longer to code than to prototype, but of course, the coded object would be more optimized than the prototype. Because making every blocks of a column fall at once was costly on the CPU. So it was decided that the blocks would shake and then explode. This was cool because it allowed new variants in gameplay where you could stand on a rock floating in the air before it exploded.
Also, on the art side of the object, the lava flow was originally supposed to be organic. But since it would be made of blocks, it would have been even more complex to do it like it was originally thought. So it ended being lava blocks. And finally, since it respected LD rules, and was already put in the level as the prototype, once the object was coded, the prototype was easily replaced in the whole levels, and...it worked!"
With the Challenge Update, the Emerald Rank has been changed. Now you just need to do the best time (despite of getting all coins in the level as well as doing a perfect time) . But, don't forget you mustn't die more than 2 times. See what you can do! 💪⏱️
