Playground Panic #5 – Aesthetic Stuff
Programming vs. designing. Up until recently we barely had anything that showed that the kids weren’t actually “killed off”, but rather cleaned. We have been really rushed with getting an actual “game” done and haven’t had as much time as we’d like left to spend on the fine-tuning, balancing and aesthetic feelings of the game. We don’t have much, but water-effects, UI, dirt and so on are things we either have added already or plan to add in a near […]

Artifact 5, AI states Idle, Scared and Hunting.
The last blog i wrote was kind of incomplete. To try and make up for it I will explain 3 of the AI states in our game.
We needed the enemy fishes to move around a bit in the level. So I started to make the Idle state. I remembered the way I tried to have an enemy to move in a rectangular pattern in the last project I made. I wasn’t really satisfied with that. Last time i made a […]

I want to be the best
This weeks artifact have been high score.
Our game is nearing it’s end stage and we are moving into a full feature freeze and going into balancing soon. Our group have almost finished a survival wave based top down shooter called at the moment -something something road-. You take control of a young woman named Ariana. A traveling saleswoman that have to defend herself from bandits during trips. Set in a spaghetti western steam punk world near India she defends from […]

Equip and collision
During this week I have worked on making a collision found and then removed. This process entailed me making a lot of things and finding out that some codes are not as easy as they sound.
Why I have done a collision is pretty obvious you have to be able to take a vector and rectangle, get the data and use it like loading the current weapon and then equip said item and ”removing” said item from the ground. I pretty […]

Haunted Light – Buttons and Menus!
Hello readers! This week I’ve been working on getting buttons into the menus and assign what they are going to do. After creating the button class it felt natural for me to take the task of putting them into the game and it’s menus, since I was the one that, probably and hopefully, knew the most about how they were made and how they work. If you don’t know how the buttons work, I’ll cover it shortly but I recommend […]

Downtime
This Monday we had a play testing where we got very much and good feedback. But one thing we have been discussing in the group is the downtime in our game – the time where there isn’t much to do in the game. For example when you have killed a boss and have to run all the way back to the beginning and you probably have killed all the enemies on your way to the boss already. Or if you […]

Code files and assistance
In the previous blog post I promised that I would update on what I did last week with the coding part, so I will get into that a bit further now. Note that I will write and do write about the last week’s work, and not the current one. Anyway as I’ve said I tried to code some sort of highscore list, but before doing that you’ll need to implement a way to write from file and read to file. […]

Artifact : Level with Layers
What?
The artifact of this week is the Level, or more specifically the Load function of the level. It is based on the platformer code with some small modifications around layers and colliders, creating possiblilities to choose if these should be active or not.
The Level is used for easily drawing out the game level from a txt file, and therefore allows you to work with the level inside an Excel document. This makes it much easier to create the level, rather […]

Popups or notifications and finally some text that tells you how much things cost.
Once again I haven’t worked enough on one artifact to really write about it enough to fill a blog of 400 words. So once again I’ll just write a bit of what I’ve done this week.
I haven’t really done anything very complicated this week either, but I can start with the one that I worked the most on, a popup box, or a notification-box if you will. That is a small box that pops up in a corner of the […]

Sound effects
This week I’ve been continuing the work on the different sound effects such as a sound for doors and when the baton hits a enemy. I’ll begin by talking about the choices I’ve made with the sounds for the baton and why the sound is not by any means perfect but it will suffice. It’s really hard to make it sound as if some thing is hitting flesh and bone so I made it sound more like it’s the baton […]
