Oxygen Bar and Flare Count
The past week I decided to focus on the player’s HUD (Heads-Up Display) which is key to displaying information to the player, something which has proven itself an issue as we tested the game. Being unaware of their ammunition’s limit has repeatedly caused players waste away shots, something I believe will be resolved when there is and easy and clear visual display of their ammunition.
The HUD also contains several bubbles with represents the player’s current oxygen. The oxygen slowly decreases […]

Reiterate means reinvigorate
After many ups and downs our group finally decided that enoughs enough and opted to redesign the game Dragon’s Song into a more traditional shooter. The reason for this was an issue with player input response being delayed due to sound playback latency. Simply put, it wasn’t possible to make the sound effects from the dragon to play at the same moment as the player hits the fire key, instead there was a hefty delay making syncing playing with the […]

1. Walking Animation
2. Digdown transition ( this animation […]

Update #5 On Project Mole Munch
Since we last week managed to get all features and objects implemented in the game, this week have mostly been about cramming sounds and general bug fixing. I’ve been struggling a bit with finding some artifact interesting enough to write about, so I decided to describe two of the things I’ve coded this week that could potentially be useful for other programmers.
If you would like to read more detailed posts, here is what I have previously written about:
