What types are there and which mechanics do you like best?
>Full realism - instakill on contact and heat damage in proximity. No games i can think of >Partial realism - instakill on contact, no heat damage in proximity. e.g. Spelunky 2 >Minimal realism - significant damage on contact, equipment degradation on contact - Dark souls 2 >Full arcade - You take heat damage on contact but can actually enter and exit lava without dying if fast enough - e.g. Quake (pic related) >Ridiculous - Lava doesn't harm you at all. e.g. Super metroid (with appropriate upgrade) >Completely ridiculous - Lava actually heals you. e.g. several RPGs that give over 100% fire resists, or fire absorb traits >Bananas - You are lava - e.g. Cinder from Killer Instinct
Full realism, but it always depends on what type of game you're making.
Leo Foster
Full arcade cuz, you know, videogames
Brandon Wood
Full realism with an upgrade that makes it partial realism.

Why is your lava made of pizza?
Jonathan Morales
>instakill on contact and heat damage in proximity. Subnautica.
Benjamin Mitchell
>He doesn't eat ultra hot pizza
Are you a homo or something?
Jeremiah Phillips
Pizza tastes better cold.
Angel Ward
Twilight Princess kinda had heat damage + instakill on lava but then you teleport straight back onto the platform with a heart missing
Gavin Brooks
metroid is heat damage in proximity with significant damage on contact and doesn't harm you with the right upgrade
Isaac Taylor
Monster Hunter almost does Full realism (standing next to a lava pool damages you, even with heat resistance) but the lava is just invisible walls so you can't fall in
Anthony Campbell
>realism Assuming you go feet first you wouldn't die on contact. People float for a short while on lava from the layer of steam created by the melting skin/clothes.
Carson Davis
Full realism has also ocarina of time, for example excessive heat inside the vulcano of the fire temple will hurt you till death if you don't have the red tunic
Caleb Mitchell
>Wearing a red tunic to withstand blistering heat is full realism
Gotta love you autists.
Juan Hernandez
>Metroid games with upgrades in ridiculous Yeah but without gravity suit it goes between "partial" and "minimal realism". Heat damage from proximity and significant damage from contact.
Cooper Gonzalez
The only correct lava mechanics are: fps: >falling in lava gives huge damages for every second you're staying there platformer: >instant death
Wyatt Collins
>Somewhat Realistic: >on contact with lava, take some damage and fly really high in the air. The character shouts "MAMA! Ooh hah hoo, wahoo!" then runs around for a while with a burning ass.

It's a magic equip built to help the hero for that purpose, in the Zelda world ihmo is normal.
