This is just going to be a quick lil update! :)
I presented my game prototype to my class and other college folks the other day!
It went well! I even got a "wow" from the audience! ...I think so anyway, I was a bit distracted trying to demo the game so maybe it was just the narcissistic part of my brain playing tricks on me again...
I also finally got to see what my classmates were up to and in detail.
There was a lot of us to get through so it was a long day, but it was incredibly interesting to see the sheer variety on display. Despite us all getting the same brief!
Also I have officially finished my second year of college now! Woo!
Here's a list of changes to the game since the last update :
- The doors toggles between open and closed.
- Fixed door issue, where it was able to be opened and closed from everywhere.
- Added a 4 door system to the Man Made Facility.
- I've added a particle system.
- Changed the Controls.
- Added Control Menu before the game starts & it is toggle-able during the game.
- Added Player death animation.
- Player begins to float away into space when they die.
- My physics material disappeared mysteriously so I had to replace it on everything that is supposed to have a slippy surface... quite a lot of things...
- Fixed jumping bug to a degree. Still happens but not nearly as much anymore.
- Adjusted the level's length and the player's metrics.
- Added interior to Man Made Facility but it doesn't quite do the job that well because it is a layer above everything else as opposed to being behind everything... long story, compromises had to be made...
- Added Tether Shields.
- Added an Exploded Planet in the Background!
So, whats the story with the game? Well I'd really like to share it! I must still figure out how I'm going to do that and how far I want to take this game.
I really like the ideas I have in this game which is why I would like to add some polish to it and maybe redo a few parts. At the same time I learned a lot from this journey and I figure, with all the knowledge I picked up, I could do something new that would be much better!
So I'm not too sure when I will be ready to share it but I'd like to wrap it up soon enough.
I am always coming up with new ideas that excite me!
hmm, that was much longer "quick lil update" then I thought it was going to be... :P
We shall 'shlaters',
Richard.
