Game Off 2021 - Day 20

November 21, 2021

Study

• Terrain editor and how LOD group works (even if I don’t use it properly) for terrain editor tree generation
• Children of colliders “merge”, allowing multi-layer object colliders
• Learning about tags to easily identify collided objects
• Content size filter objects and horizontal layout group objects to get text-scaled boxes Link

Progress

• Downloaded a bunch of free unitystore assets to use: low poly terrain, sprite characters
• Looked at the terrain editor and tree painter to make a more interesting background
• Added sprite + animation to actors (currently one sprite, attack + death animations)
• Began implementing hover text. This felt important to do because I am time constrained and it’s the easiest way to both:
  • Explain how to play, quickly
  • Establish a narrative

TODO

• Options menu
  • Resolution
  • Windowed
  • Volume
• Credits menu: all the asset creators
• Battle
  • Battle submenus (i.e. skill selection, item selection)
  • Other “bug” effects. Let’s go simpler
    • Negative numbers (i.e. “reduce damage = heal boost”)
    • Attack the turn order (prevents OHKO)
    • Some on-the-nose abilities if this isn’t enough
  • Battle transitions
  • Finish UI hover descriptions
    • Context sensitive (i.e. don’t show descriptions when targeting attacks)
  • Retry on defeat
• Assets
  • Songs: main menu, battle music, victory, defeat, ending
  • Sound effects + visual effects
    • On-hit, skill effects (i.e. heal noise)
  • “Buggy” effects on all graphics/sound
    • Frame of disjointed squares
    • Sudden pitch/volume changes/play backwards
• Determine system requirements
  • Whatever unity build allows
  • “Mouse required” message
