3701 Two Dusks Week 3

 Week 3 - (2/7/22)


Work began in Unity with a tutorial package that we found online.  It matched our aesthetic for a pop-up book visual style while offering some 3D elements as well.  I was now tasked with building out the map in Unity using this package.



The above is a very early concept of building using the Unity package.  Since all off the bounding terrain are 2D sprites on 3D objects they must be duplicated and aligned correctly to give a sense of natural curves to the bounding area.  Rock sprites were used until the artists finished their tree and shrubbery assets.



 

The gate would be the final part of the safe area until the player ventured out into the forest.  I began shaping the pathway in accordance with my sketch from last week before handing the project file off to my teammates to continue the map building.

 Week 4 - (2/14/22) After sending the map to Thurston for him to continue working on the level we had group discussions about ambience and design.  We agreed that there should be some natural elements like fog and falling leaves to give a bit more life to the forest.  We also talked about the idea of having ledges that can only be accessed from one side and blocked from another.  This was all to give the map a more permanent change after the player triggered the scene change.  We used Pokemon screenshots to discuss what these changes might look like.           Following our decision to implement fog and not implement ledges I was tasked with scripting the scene change following the player picking up the ingredient.  The player needs to collect this ingredient for the townspeople to make a potion to cure their curse.  I interpreted it as a magical flower.  When the player enters the final part of the forest it triggers...

 Week 8 (3/21/22) Following the audio components I implemented last week I was tasked with a new gameplay system.  Collected ingredients for the potion that would be received following interacting with specific points of interest.  The four ingredients would need their own sprites and a HUD canvas so they player knows they have collected an ingredient.   Once I had canvas for the UI implemented I needed to write a new script and edit existing ones so that this UI script would update upon interacting with the POI.  I found that the best way to implement my idea was to change the source image for each element in the UI canvas.

Week 10 (4/4/22) Finally at the home stretch.  A lot of this weeks work involved polishing up the dialogue and filling in any placeholder assets that still exist in the game.  The placeholder music was completely replaced with new copyright free themes.  We all voted on a few themes and decided upon the soundtrack for the game. The rest of the week involved finishing the website and getting all of our unfinished assets into the game.
