Blog Entry

I added some of the final assets to the level a few days back. I added a grave model that I created as well as a texture, skulls, and an axe. I originality planed to have a center grave revealing the main characters name thus revealing to the character that they were dead. I thought this would be cool for the narrative but we did not have enough time to flesh out events. The level has been getting better and better every week. I am pleased with our work so far.

UPDATE

Well I've finally gotten the AI path finding working flawlessly and the enemy firing, now we just need to tweak it.
The only thing that I worry about is the amount of work that I have left. All that is left is tweaking and duplicating what is there.
For the AI, I have a damage system in place but it is not fully implemented as of yet. I shouldn't be too hard to do and I need to set the transform position of the enemies AI attack as the previous position of the player yet which won't be too difficult as I already have the data stored I just need to reference it so it all looks good.
I am quite proud of my timing on this I feel that i maximized my deadlines perfectly, I finished what I promised my team would be done with approximately 8 minutes and 35 seconds to go before class. I should get a cookie for that (or at least a set of IP addresses unprotected by any sort of firewall).

The game is near completion. We have to add some things here and there but we are almost there. The AI is the big goal. Without AI then our game is a haunted house simulation. I am continuing tinkering with sounds and playing with the design of the level to add more tension.

final stretch.

Final stretch I guess. Things are going fine. There's enough in place to get it all finished up just in time.
Unfortunately I don't have the time required to put into a project like this, so Ill get done what I can get done.
I am working on finishing up the AI and working around the bugs so that i don't have to rewrite it every time I work on the project. Issues such as this really make me not want to do anything with Unity.
So this week I will work on coding the sounds and finishing up the attack/AI things.

Down the final stretch we go. We got a lot of usefull feedback during our playtest in class on Tuesday. Right after the class, I went and tweaked a handful of minor things that we were taking for granted since we had run through the level so often, and had no trouble manuevering it. Small things like opening the gate up a little bit more at the start of the level. Guding the player a llittle more with lighting. Amother common concern was the user control. The players were raving about the enviornment and sounds, but they just want to be able to interact with the AI, and be able to feel even more threatened. At this point, that is our number one goal. Once we have an attack and AI system in the game, we will be essentially finished. After that, some last minute play tests to fix some of the smaller things, and we should have a pretty solid 10 week mod on our hands.
