Popups or notifications and finally some text that tells you how much things cost.
Once again I haven’t worked enough on one artifact to really write about it enough to fill a blog of 400 words. So once again I’ll just write a bit of what I’ve done this week.
I haven’t really done anything very complicated this week either, but I can start with the one that I worked the most on, a popup box, or a notification-box if you will. That is a small box that pops up in a corner of the […]

Sound effects
This week I’ve been continuing the work on the different sound effects such as a sound for doors and when the baton hits a enemy. I’ll begin by talking about the choices I’ve made with the sounds for the baton and why the sound is not by any means perfect but it will suffice. It’s really hard to make it sound as if some thing is hitting flesh and bone so I made it sound more like it’s the baton […]

Levels och Gui
Denna vecka har jag mestadels suttit och pillat med levels. Vi tyckte att det var hög tid att lägga in detta i och med att betan är nu imorgon. Så det första jag gjorde var att skriva en level klass. Den håller koll på vilken dag och vilken vecka det är, vilket tillsammans utgör levels. Den håller även koll på hur många barn som ska finnas på varje nivå. Efter varje nivå kommer man till uppgraderings skärmen där man ska […]

Soon…. and more Couches
We have BETA tomorrow and here I am writing a blog post, I don’t have time to both do this and be ridiculously nervous at the same time!
My artist work this month has mostly been to rework some of the old props into more variants of the same things. This includes re-arranging some desks with different things on them such as typewriters, telephones, radios and stacks of paper. This was quite easy since it was mostly dragging around older artifacts […]

Almost done for the beta!
Well hello there!
It’s been a long week. This work I was going to work on the sound manager. But you know, other things come up and steals you time. Well I am finally done with the parent UI (read more about it in the earlier posts). Now the parent balls are moving and have different colors. I had some trouble getting them move, but I got help from Fabian in our group and now it works fine. So now that […]

Artifact 5, AI states Idle, Scared and Hunting.
The last blog i wrote was kind of incomplete. To try and make up for it I will explain 3 of the AI states in our game.
We needed the enemy fishes to move around a bit in the level. So I started to make the Idle state. I remembered the way I tried to have an enemy to move in a rectangular pattern in the last project I made. I wasn’t really satisfied with that. Last time i made a […]

Game Development- Introduction. Blog Post – 5
This week, there has not been much coding, but i have continued to work slightly with the soundmanager and soundeffects for the game. The parts that i had put more time on this week are level design and a tutorial for the game.
As the Final presentation is about 2 weeks from now, we needed to start build several levels to the game. In our design document, we had written that the game will contain 4 floors/ 4 levels. But probably we […]

ARTIFACT BLOG #5 COLLECTIBLES
Stars!
This week all three of us sat down and did our tasks together, so that we wouldn’t have someone get stuck on a task just before beta. One of the things we’ve done is collecting stars when enemies dies. You collect the stars to get a better score.
The stars themselves work almost exactly like the enemy bullets, only they get added when the enemy’s life has hit zero rather than when they’re in attack range of the player.
When the star […]

Artifact : Level with Layers
What?
The artifact of this week is the Level, or more specifically the Load function of the level. It is based on the platformer code with some small modifications around layers and colliders, creating possiblilities to choose if these should be active or not.
The Level is used for easily drawing out the game level from a txt file, and therefore allows you to work with the level inside an Excel document. This makes it much easier to create the level, rather […]

A comfortable place to rest
This week I have mostly been continuing my work with furniture and other things in the environment.
Since the first level is supposed to be in the “backgrounds” of the airport, where the administrative staff works, and where all employees have their locker rooms and lunch area for example, we wanted it to look a bit like the typical workplace. But until now there hasn’t been any where to actually do some work.
One thing I made this week was some computers. […]

Game dev, Suit’em up – New polish features
We have recently had our second playtesting session, the pre-beta one. We got a lot of great feedback to work with. The one thing I think we need to add desperately at this point is player feedback. Another thing that needed to be added, which came up during the playtesting was that playtesters thought that it was boring running long distances across the world.
I’ve been working hard on the second point, the “boring long distances” these past few days and […]

Haunted Light 2014-03-13 Sounds and things that’s going to be cut
This week (Monday-Thursday) I’ve been implementing all the sounds I have created during the past week. It was a relatively simple to add the sounds. I added them into our system source file by using a sound manager and sfml’s own method “addSoundBuffer”. For the music you do not actually load them in because it would take too long so they are streamed in, by streaming the music we can set it to looping which led me to changing a […]
