Game Off 2021 - Day 24

November 25, 2021

We’re 5 days away from the deadline, and realistically the last Sunday of November is my last day of real work.

So, 3 more days of progress to complete everything on the todo list? Seems…optimistic.

If we split the days it would looks something like:

This doesn’t seem like enough time given my rate of ~4 hr max per day. We’ll see how much motivation I can gather to crunch.

Started downloading some free sound assets and identifying which to use for music/fx
Began implementing the options menu and saving configs to json
Realized a volume config is useless without sound and so implemented some basic music + on-hit sound effects
Ran the first build! There’s so little in here that it only takes a minute finish, neat

Options menu: Resolution, windowed, volume
- Apply options (res/vol)
  - Fix ui elements based on resolution
- Add sliders in options menu to change
- Save off to file
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
  - Fade music on switch (just use fade animation?)
  - Properly choose track when necessary
- Visual effects
  - On-hit
- “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
  - Things get darker (lighting, music)
Finishing touches
- More battles + actors
- Main character asset (thinking a bug blob)
  - ~3f rolling movement
  - some jump-as-attack animation (12f necessary?)
  - 4f hurt anim, blob deform
- Outro video
  - Worst case it’s a blue screen -> fade to black
  - Best case it’s the video of blob + blue screen
- Cover art
Determine system requirements
- Whatever unity build allows
- “Mouse required” message

53.25 + 3hr
