With our positives and negatives in mind, we formulated a set of core questions: With Shovel Knight: Showdown’s scope nailed down enough to begin creating an unlock system, we set to work. With all these potential pitfalls, we knew we had to take great care in designing our unlock system.

With no Save Data, I just want to play everything with my friends! Now my party is ruined!

Mode Mismatches – I can’t unlock stuff by playing what I enjoy! All I want to do is play multiplayer… I don’t want to play single player to unlock anything.

Looking through your trophy checklist, or having a particularly rare unlock that can be showed off.

Accomplishment – When presented well, unlocks provide a great sense of accomplishment and progression.Surprise – The surprise of unlocking something cool is fun (if you don’t know what you’re getting)!.There would be all sorts of characters, costumes, levels, modes, and who knows what else! But how would it all work? As we so often tend to do, we thought back to our favorite experiences with a feature, and tried to analyse why we thought it was fun.
