Release of Feed me

Sorry for the delay. I write this a 3am, having kind of finished the game. The download link is here.

Once again, simple system. Players click to get food to survive. So that's one tick off the list. Most of the main goals for this game were completed quite quickly.

Oddly there is a bug where the food is not eaten. I'm looking into a fix for it. The player's speed was increased so they can move around faster. The point behind this project was to help formulate some issues I was having with developing A-RPG movement and interaction. Even now, I think I've found some problems that the NavMesh system has. One issue I noticed is creating terrain via cubes and blocks. When I say this, I'm not talking about walls. Those are easy to make by comparison. If I were to build ARPG tech in my spare time (might do that as my next project and make a free upload to the Asset store), I'd likely not use a terrain system and work with the Character Controller systems to make the movement. This would mean a slight amount of writing for the AI system as well.

Screenshots of fixed?
A last minute bug was the escape key failing to bring out a pause menu. I fixed the problem with a last second, clickable button.

I did have plans of using batteries at one stage for the pick-ups and refit the experience to sci-fi. However, an issues stated before kind of made me second guess it.

It's been a while...

It's been about a month or so since I've updated here. No, I'm not dead. Currently, I've been assigning my personal resources to build a new game, and thus have not been building any one month builds. Progress with this next project is coming along quite well... Minus some issues here and there. So let's talk about "Project Mech"shall we? Project Mech is an extension from a prior prototype that I've built which was designed around the hacking mini-game from Nier:Automata. Inside this game, you play in a mech shooting up aliens that are hell bent on destroying you. Yes, small story premise, but the story of this game is supposed to be simple and corny so I can experiment with game-play instead. Ideally, I'd like to experiment more with video game narrative, though that is a different long form project. This project will NOT support building a controller, though I'd like to implement that some other time. I'll add some screenshots later...

Puzzzling Motion - The next 1 month build intoduction

Image
How do you design a puzzle game? What kind of puzzles do you put in a puzzle game? Is Physics involved? Complicated mathematics? or the ability to think outside the box in such a way that you are playing Antechamber? Or maybe you disguise your puzzles by utilising the world design like in Mirror's Edge and Portal games? hehe... Oh gods why (Antechamber) So where do you begin? I'm going to take this one month project to build a puzzle game based on motion. Let's start with everyone's favourite, baseline goals: Players must be able to move around to get to an objective The puzzles must be based on movement, pressing a button, flipping a switch, and then moving to the next puzzle  There must be materialistically, one level As always, we have our bonus round: up to 5 levels Parkour based movement An "open" area for testing out motions to better grasp motion mechanics. Now, where are where are we at the start? The first person characte...

Bits and glitches: Rooms, exploration and command

So this week, I've built some new rooms and added codes for going about exploration and combat. After a bit of tinkering, I've got it nailed down to key words for certain actions. Example: Go north to go north. Initially, it was flawed. I would look at the string as a whole, rather then looking for keywords It looked something list this: if stageAction == f"Go North" :         print( "do action" ) what it now looks like is something like this: if f"go" in stageAction or f"Go" in stageAction:        if "north in stageAction or f"North" in stageAction:                  print("do action") This allows me to make better actions for movement and combat. Combat is kind of in the game right now with an "Attack" action. Next week, more rooms and I'll show a snippet of the game as it runs.
