Rotating & vanishing Guards

 
Okay! This week has been a very interesting one! I have been further working on our level design and have been adding in rotations to our stationary guards. I also had to remake all of the patrolling patterns for our guards since there was some issues with how the guards spawned in comparison to where they wanted to patrol. I solved the patrolling guard issue quite easily, it was just a bit of tedious work on it to get […]

This week’s artifact: Integrate GitHub to the group.
I begun yesterday by abandoning the old repository and creating a new one. It didn’t work so i tried to make another one. When that didn’t work either i realized that the Debug and Release folder weren’t the only ones who were not supposed to be in the repository. I realized i had been copying the Hidden folder Git as well so for the next repository (Number 4) i only added the other folders […]

Altars done!

Hello again! This week I’ve been working with the Altar and it took a lot longer than I thought. I had a early version of the altar ready that I was working with a bit last week, but it I later noticed this week that the whole perspective of the altar was wrong. This problem was not something that could be fixed with some tweaks, so I had to remake the whole thing.

The sketches I made of the altar.
