Game Off 2021 - Day 23

November 24, 2021

Study

• STATIC NOISE TV EFFECT using Unity Shader Graph
• Unity SHADERGRAPH Episode 9: Edge Noise (Part 1)

Progress

• Small adjustments to hit effects (popup color, sorting layer priority, subtract health on popup, etc.)
• Moved HUD updates in BattleMenuScript to LateUpdate (so that floating health properly renders before culling objects)
• Fade + actor movement during battle transition
  • Sloppy messy crunch works against me. The animation should be related to the movement of the actor…
• Added a completely fake shadow because I’m too lazy to figure out how to get shadows off an invisible cylinder
  • Fake because it’s a black circle on the ground attached to every actor. It’s slightly misaligned because of the sprite/rotation/camera angle.
• Playing with shader graphs to get a glitchy effect
  • Grabbed a grass unity store asset
  • Ground can now flicker
• Began implementing a BugManager to control the glitch effects from bug level

It’s interesting how some simple textures can make things look better.

TODO

• Options menu
  • Resolution
  • Windowed
  • Volume
• Battle
  • Other “bug” effects. Let’s go simpler
    • Attack the turn order (prevents OHKO)
    • Some on-the-nose abilities if this isn’t enough
• 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
    • Background disappearing/losing color
      • Trees/sky/whatever becomes pink/invisible
    • Static noise/visuals on hit
• Determine system requirements
  • Whatever unity build allows
  • “Mouse required” message
