Levels och Gui
Denna vecka har jag mestadels suttit och pillat med levels. Vi tyckte att det var hög tid att lägga in detta i och med att betan är nu imorgon. Så det första jag gjorde var att skriva en level klass. Den håller koll på vilken dag och vilken vecka det är, vilket tillsammans utgör levels. Den håller även koll på hur många barn som ska finnas på varje nivå. Efter varje nivå kommer man till uppgraderings skärmen där man ska […]

Almost done for the beta!
Well hello there!
It’s been a long week. This time I was going to work on the sound manager. But you know, other things come up and stole my time. Well I am finally done with the parent UI (read more about it in the earlier posts). Now the parent balls are moving and have different colors. I had some trouble getting them to move, but I got help from Fabian in our group and now it works fine. So now […]

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 […]

Game Development- Introduction. Blog Post – 5
This week, there has not been much coding, but i have continued to work slightly with the soundmanager and soundeffects for the game. The parts that i had put more time on this week are level design and a tutorial for the game.
As the Final presentation is about 2 weeks from now, we needed to start build several levels to the game. In our design document, we had written that the game will contain 4 floors/ 4 levels. But probably we […]

Week 7: Beta Presentation
Right now
I am getting ready for the Beta presentation we are having for tomorrow. The last time I held the presentation I didn’t get that much sleep because I was up crunching with two other members from our group, and I was one of the few who didn’t have a PowerPoint for it.
The critique I got was mostly that we needed to show some pictures of the icons we had; I didn’t think of that. We were going to show how our game worked right on […]

ARTIFACT BLOG #5 COLLECTIBLES
Stars!
This week all three of us sat down and did our tasks together, so that we wouldn’t have someone get stuck on a task just before beta. One of the things we’ve done is collecting stars when enemies dies. You collect the stars to get a better score.
The stars themselves work almost exactly like the enemy bullets, only they get added when the enemy’s life has hit zero rather than when they’re in attack range of the player.
When the star […]

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 […]

Escape – Group 4 – Week 8 – Apparent Issues
Still working with the level editor, since we underestimated just how time consuming the process could be.Another problem became apparent at the play-testing session last Monday. There was no way to test the actual levels. The lead programmer wasn’t able to generate the levels via the TXT’s until a few hours before the session. And so, testers would see weirdly placed furniture, empty rooms and run into invisible walls. Another problem was that if an object would be set so […]

Game dev, Suit’em up – New polish features
We have recently had our second playtesting session, the pre-beta one. We got a lot of great feedback to work with. The one thing I think we need to add desperately at this point is player feedback. Another thing that needed to be added, which came up during the playtesting was that playtesters thought that it was boring running long distances across the world.
I’ve been working hard on the second point, the “boring long distances” these past few days and […]
