Time for another Sunday Musings! It's been a massively busy week for us this week, getting through plenty of work! Return of the Box...the White Box Adrian was very busy working on his fantasy weapon pack. This pack for our game and, hopefully, the Unity Asset store. This week he modelled maces, axes, spears and some swords. We're currently at 42 different weapons all modelled. The break down works out at 7 shields, 6 maces, 10 axes, 10 spears and some 10 swords. He also unwrapped them this week in preparation for texturing today and next week. So look out for some progress pics over the next few days! Now onto my week. This week, nearly all of my work was focussed on the GUI which was our Screenshot Saturday this week. The GUI was shown a while back when Adrian first created it. Well now it's in one of the levels of Reprieve, while I work on it. So, what exactly is it doing? The main circular part with the glass and gears is where the power that is selected is shown. As you can see there's no power icon but that's only because the spirit power doesn't currently have an icon. The part that spins out from behind the main hub shows the d-pad for power selection. This is brought out by pressing the left trigger for the left hand and the right trigger for the right hand. On the d-pad, Left is Fire, Right is Water, Down is Earth and Up is Air. So depending on what you press, the icon will change. Most of the movements and fades are done using Unity's new GUI system and the animations that it enabled you to move the separate parts. The cogs, however, are moved through code. We wanted them to spin faster when the d-pad section spins out and then spin backwards when the d-pad section goes back in, while avoiding any problems with the angles skipping or any of that jazz. The health bar currently works but with no enemies in the game, it's a little difficult to show in a short gif. The bar also extends, if you level up. Next week, the stamina and experience bars have to be implemented. We also, finally, did some more white-boxing of the air temple this week which was extremely fun to ge back in to. This temple feels more puzzle orientated than the Fire Temple which is a nice change of pace. Weekly Panic Stations Time for our music selections for the week. Adrian's gone for John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom". Awesome song. It's in a film but I can't remember what film it's in. It's driving me insane...I think it's a heist movie but can't be sure. I've gone for Mark Knopfler's "Postcards from Paraguay". Adrian's: John Lee Hooker - Boom! Boom!Dan's: Mark Knopfler - Postcards From Paraguay That's it for this week. Adrian will be back on blogging duties next week, so check his blogs out.
Anywho, enjoy the rest of the weekend! Comments are closed.
