Week-2 The pitch

For this week we spent our first day pitching our game with a few refined mechanics which was given a go ahead by our lecturers with a few scale backs in terms of the story with a few helpful recommendations such as ways to communicate the story where in we could have audio logs throughout the game. I am setting goals for this week wherein I am going to finish a re usable night/day cycle and work on changing the skyboxes at run time as well.

For our second class we have had a look at algorithms along with their time and space complexity which was a good recap for the studio 2 students as it gave us a refresher on the topic. In addition, we also had a look at the inner workings on a linked list (Commonly known as a list).

Lastly for our third and final class for the week , we worked on the practical implementations for the queue  and how it would work if it were written without the system.collection.generic library .

I have also taken the time to get a better understanding of our main learning outcomes wherein the the flocking can be done in two ways. Firstly, the flocking AI can follow a leader and flock around it and Secondly it can be based around an average position of al the AI in the flock.

The second part of the flocking would be the strategic AI wherein multiple agents work together to achieve a certain goal which sounds simple enough from my point of view at this time.


The third learning outcome is mesh deformation where in we need to show understand the understandings of the topic. It is the learning outcome I had most concerns about as it was a topic I didn’t understand but the the summer break I was able to do sufficient research on it and get a fairly well understanding of it.

Week-9

This week we have been integrating pathfinding into the game, this is the one I had worked on for my trimester one project thus It was working well with our project & was easy to integrate but it is not being used by the behavior trees yet thus we are not going to show this mechanic for our presentation due in a few days. We have also managed to get our new poster for the game which looks pretty good and reflects on the game design we implemented into our game. We don’t know if the new poster will make it or not but we have high hopes for it . We also have a logo for the game which can be used as the icon for our final build for showcase . We had a few setbacks during integration where some of the group members worked in the same scene & commits to it leading to our scene for the demo looking like Frankenstein’s monster although we were able to fix most the changes the day before the presentation & because we had version controls and...

Week-6 Terrains !

While working in unity’s inbuilt tree system I found a bug wherein it did not render the trees until the player was close to the camera, this problem was something very frustrating at first but after investigating the problem I found that you had to use a speed tree shader in order for the tree system to work properly & render the trees. The shader that I selected was nature/speed tree which can be seen below. Also just as an update, we are not focusing on the low poly art style as it no longer works with our game according to our game designer. For this week I have also started work on the bow & arrow mechanics for our game which seem like a walk in the park as we have worked on similar mechanics in projects for our previous trimesters. We have also received an asset for our shack which seems to be very basic, looks like some cubes were just resized by the animator but our game designer was the one to choose it & has convinced us that it is...
