So this was a fun one. I was not able to work on my game on Monday and all, also ended up only being able to work on it for a few hours on Sunday. I got a lot\u00a0further\u00a0than I thought I would and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.<\/p>\n
This was one of the themes I saw on the list that I did not want to do, so it took me awhile to come up with an idea I liked. I ended up with the stealth based 3d platformer mainly because I had never tried to do a stealth game before.<\/p>\n
What Went Right<\/p>\n
The Level Creation went well. Unity makes it easy for one man teams to make larger levels and get collision working<\/p>\n
Enemy patrols and detection- They are alittle jerky when turning around, but in all I like how the enemies move around. People seemed to understand right away that they needed to stay out of the red light in front of them<\/p>\n
The Camera- about half way through the day on Saturday I threw out my camera script and re-wrote it. Giving the player full control over the camera has its drawbacks but since you play as such a small character the player needed to be able to look up and around them to find their way around.<\/p>\n
What Went Wrong<\/p>\n
Player movement- This is the big one. I made my movement and camera together at first, so when I got rid of my camera my movement suffered for it. I was not able to redo it in time. Because of this the player moves too quickly at times and can be hard to control.<\/p>\n
The Map- Just play the game and you can see how this went wrong….<\/p>\n
The Tutorial- I waited too long to do the tutorial and because of that it is not very good.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What I wanted to add<\/p>\n
A real map<\/p>\n
In game dialog, some witty remarks from the bug bot and stuff<\/p>\n
better lighting, me and unity still don’t get along when it comes to light<\/p>\n
better controls<\/p>\n
More toys, I had lots of different gadgets I wanted the player to be able to use, but I never could add them in<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All in all I am happy with how far I got. Hopefully next time I will have my full team to help me<\/p>\n \n
