My Fifth Game Design Blog Post – Creating Damage Feedback on Players Health.

In this post, I will write about my damage feedback on player’s health. One of my tasks this week was to create a damage feedback on the player’s health. I tried to make the health bar blink but it didn’t fully work out so instead I made it to change to red color for a second and go back to white again.

(Health bar normally.)

(Health bar after taking damage.)
Whenever the enemy deals damage to the player the health bar of the […]

My Fourth Game Design Blog Post –Handling The Scenes.

(The Player is facing right, not flipped.)

(The Player is facing left, flipped.)
Flipping itself can be done on any sprite in the Unity engine, in our game we […]

You can do that in plenty of ways for example you can create a knockback effect that pushes away the Player from the source of damage after touching it, you can create a text above the Player that the damage was dealt or as I did here, colour […]

My First Game Design Blog Post

My group Shadhavar has chosen the Selfisch game as its project. My role is a lead programmer for this game and as a first blog post I will write about something quite simple but needed in almost any game out there which is movement.
There are many ways to make a character move, you can make it so the player moves by mouse buttons or just mouse movement, different keyboard keys and controllers. But let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk […]
