District Court Discussion

At the moment, I am on the fence of whether or not to have the gavel be a wall, or have the desks be walls.

Also for the sake of this topic,
simple=small, with few platforms. There CAN be a gimmick, but not a major one.
Simple=/=Battlefield.

Discuss.

I like this.

I say have Apollo, Klavier and the Judge in the background. After some time they discuss about a character, and when they hit the desk the stage shakes and deals damage to standing players. The stage also shakes if the judge uses his hammer.

I say only their respective desk should shake if they hit them, but the whole stage shakes when he Judge uses his gavel.

How can you stand on the desks and under the desks? Not sure how that makes sense from a design standpoint. But if they were solid, it'd be a weird layout where you'd get caught in the gaps...

I suppose it's fine as it is. But just throwing out another idea: What if there is a 3rd platform that moves back and forth between the 2 desks as they argue, but gets smashed by the gavel when the judge intervenes?

This is a good idea. also I think they should discuss the character when he/she lands on the middle platform. But if other character steps it while they're discussing someone nothing happens.
