Better colliders. Artifact 3

I repaired the CollisionManager. It was broke. I dont want to talk about it.
From yesterday though:
When the player fish and an enemy collides, two things will happen in this game right now:
1. The player receives experience points. These are what will make the Player grow and level up though out the game.
2. The enemy will be eaten. In other words both the enemy collider and the enemy object, carrying a sprite and some functions get deleted.
(Enemy object are not discussed in […]

ARTIFACT BLOG #3 Our second enemy

Greetings!
Chosen artifact of the week is the ranged enemy for our game. The behaviour we wanted for it was that it should be passive until attacked by the player (You *have* to kill all enemies to win so they’re not skippable) and when it’s in its attack state it should start to zig-zag rather fast while shooting at the player. And as of tonight we’ve pretty much nailed the behaviour.
We started off by making the enemy shoot against the player […]

Project – Week 4

It’s already been a month since the start of the project, and there’s a lot going on at the                 moment. I’ve been working on several different things, and it has mostly been making                   adjustments/editing and getting things together.
I’ve spent most of the week editing the sprites that I made and working together with the other artists to pin down the graphical style for the […]

Still Working.

So this week I was supposed to do the animations but I was still not pleased with the sprites and I was also told that the spy should not have a hat any more. This was decided because there was people that did not understand the hat or something like that. I heard that some thought that it looked like a bicycle helmet and that I can agree with that. The down bumps in the hat looked like the holes […]

AI for the bosses

Even though I have been home with a fever this week I have tried to do some work from home. I have been drawing some sort of flowcharts over the three bosses AI. The boss I am going to start with when it comes to code is the final boss, Mothgomery. This because if we run out of time we think this is the most important one for the game. He is the “emperor of the suit” who started the […]

The Morker

Originally we planned to have two types of ranged enemies in our game. The first, labeled “the Workers” were supposed to stand faced against the wall, not noticing the player until they were attacked. When this happens, they would swarm the player and try to shoot her down. The second type of enemy was to be a flying moth character, that would fly around in random patterns, making him a difficult target, while at the same time firing down at […]

Project Terminal – Developing a Style

Good evening! We’re on week six now and the project is going well. I spend most of my time making the different animations for our guard. Though this week I’ve mostly been revamping the already existing animations due to our change in style. So this week I’ll rather write about our process in developing a distinct style for our game.
The primary critique that we received from our playtest had to do with the style of our game. We got several […]

Escape – Group 4 – Week 6 – Audio Options & Credits

Progress on the main menu is going surprisingly smoothly. Not only did I finish visual functionality in one day, but practical functionality is almost finished as well.Both music and sound can now be muted and the slider for lowering sound works like a charm. This however has been tested with only one sound file. There’s still a lot of work to make this work for every sound file in the game.Music and sound has to be dealt with individually, since […]

Music and Sound Effects

This Week
I’ve been continuing my work on Level Design and the creation of Music for our project. I’ve also added some code that keeps track of amounts of bullets from a weapon and then adds ricochete soundeffects to add a bit of variation to the shooting. I’ve also started working a bit on the AI and their detection (or lack thereof) through sound.
One of my goals for the levels is for the player not to be aware of the […]
