Mechanics

How Absence of Color plays: color channels, combat, controls, HUD and level assembly.

• Color channels

  Red, green and blue as the three channels of progress, and which color needs which channels.

• Light vs. darkness

  Fighting means bringing light back: enemies are turned white, and the color of weapon and armor counts per channel.

• Controls

  Gamepad first: the planned button layout and what already works in the prototype.

• HUD: Light, crystals and color wheels

  Light bar, color crystals and the two color wheels for weapon and armor.

• Level assembly with crates and gnomes

  Crates, gnomes and a loading bar with silly lines instead of a loading screen.
