6th blog post of 10 Week Project – Sounds for the Game

We did not yet have any sound in the game for the beta, and so this was one of our top priorities for the final. The required sounds for the game were all listed in our scrum document’s product backlog.
At first, we were to have different attack sounds and hit sounds for each enemy and the player, but instead we decided to have different attack and hit sounds for each elemental type. For example, the water enemy and the player […]

5th blog post of 10 Week Project – Implementing Altars

This week I have focused most of my work on updating the game design document as well as listen to possible sounds for our game. However, I also finished implementing the altars in our game, thus this blog post will be about the progress of implementing the altars!

The progress of implementing the altars is very similar to the progress of implementing the lost souls, which I […]

4th blog post of 10 Week Project – Designing The End Game Boss

Since the beta is next week, we have tried to finish the design of the end game boss.
The enemies of the game are made of three elemental types and it was decided that the boss would possess all of these elements. What element she is currently using will be shown by changing the color of the sprite and by having different projectiles/attacks for each element. The visual representation of our boss will be somewhat like the lost souls but wearing […]

3rd blog post of 10 Week Project – The Game Menu’s Code

Something I’ve been working on this week is implementing the menu for the game.
The states and state manager for our game had already been made, thus that was not a problem of mine. We had also gone through states in programming class, and therefore it was easy for me to know how they work and how to switch between them.
I have made a menu before, but as our game is controlled with the keyboard and no mouse, the menu for […]
