Coral Craze I downloaded some asset packs from sketchfab which I’ll attribute here. All menus have been finished; they use the main menu as a template with small changes to functionality as needed. I’ve made sure to comment every section of code so that it’s easy to keep track of everything later. Asset Packs Used…

Game Project I made a major blunder trying to add water to the game – I accidentally made a 32000 object landscape instead of an 8 object one, but cancelled it in time and only had to delete 1000 objects which took about an hour. Packs Used Fan Coral Med – Valery.Li

A World Without Project On Monday I finished the first playable iteration of the game: upon completing 5 levels, the player wins and is sent to the victory menu which either returns them to the main menu or exits the game. This can be refined later with an appealing redesign and a story ending that…

Tutorial On Friday I had a useful 1:1 tutorial with Thom where we discussed the progress of the game and goals moving forward. My notes were a bit hasty so that I could get info down in time: World Without See the environment change based on research Make sure to note down original inspiration from…

A World Without Project On Monday I successfully implemented the main menu, pause menu and settings menu.

Since I was able to complete my sound design before and after this time, I don’t think it strongly affected my work. For…

Industry Brief Gameplay Programming My first task in the industry brief project was to design a minigame where the player has to input A/D repeatedly 8 times to knock something out of a vending machine. I used a boolean to track their last input and incremented a “hits” variable based on the total amount of…

Special Enemy Implementation I used a simple isRed variable to generate a random number and apply red to the enemies to mark them as special if it rolls 2. When the enemies move offscreen, I added a check for whether they’re special or not that either adds score or removes a life, then deletes them.…
