Final Update

Image
Avinash the Last Avocado Final Update Neil Update I added more art assets and advised on where the checkpoints should be based on user test feedback. Furthermore, I played around with the lighting decreasing the harshness as the bowls and action item's art assets were too bright. Eventually, I settled on a light yellow-orange tint that decreased the harshness and fit the kitchen vibe and overall aesthetic of the game Angel Update UI art and sound effects are all implemented in the game. For future iterations, I will work on making unique sounds for the game and do more research and testing to better the UI layout and window transitions. Abhay Update I implemented additional checkpoints in response to the feedback on the unforgiving-ness of the level. The placement of the objects is central to our game, so we saw leaving them placed after the player died as compromising the core functionality of the game, so by having more checkpoints we hoped to make it less unforgiv...

Avinash the Last Avocado Neil Whitebox Abhay Whitebox Angel Whitebox Overall Whitebox Angle View UI Playthrough Neil update For the next step in developing the game, I brushed up on the white box by connecting some platforms so the game does not feel too difficult. By doing this with my own whitebox, this idea of making it less difficult was then implemented with my partners' whiteboxes. They also decided to connect some platforms to make it less difficult. Going forward, I will begin adding checkpoints to my whitebox to make the game less difficult for the player. Abhay update In developing our game, my next step consisted of working towards fleshing out the drag and drop mechanics for the object placement. I have not quite reached the full drag and drop functionality yet, however the intermediate step I am at is where the player can click on UI buttons to add actions to a Queue data structure, and when the player cli...
