3701 Two Dusks Week 9

 Week 9 (3/28/22)


Following the ingredient system that I implemented last week I was now tasked to linking the ingredients to different ending screens if the player escaped the monster in World 2.  There would be 3 different endings for the player, discounting the Game Over ending:

  • 0-1 ingredients - ending 1
  • 2-3 ingredients - ending 2
  • all 4 ingredients - ending 3


These endings all required their own canvases that needed to rigged up to static Booleans from World 1 scripts.  It took a bit of trial and error to get them all working correctly. 

I also helped Thurston in troubleshooting some of the dialogue prompts not working correctly.  We had to edit a couple of scripts so that the "visited" flags worked correctly when the player began World 2.  This way the correct dialogue will be prompted when the player interacts with the points of interest after seeing or not seeing them in World 1.

 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.
