Lit - Dare to be Digital Entry
This was our entry game into the competition "Dare to be Digital". Unfortunately we did not get through to the final stage of the competition and so did not have a chance to create the game. I have now decided to take on myself to attempt to create the game. I have firstly completed the Lerpz tutorial to familiarise myself with the Unity Engine and now I am going to begin development on the game. I will be posting all key updates to the game on here including videos and snapshots of the current game.
Firstly I will introduce you all to the game idea itself by showing you the presentation that our team "Dead Pineapple" produced as entry for the competition:

Now that you have gotten an idea of what the game entails I will now show key updates about development of the game and any difficulties I come across and also any changes I make to the game idea itself. The fact that I am no longer working in a team does have its benefits, for example I can make any changes I like to the game idea without having to compromise to suit someone else's particular tastes.
Player Moveable Objects - Telekinesis
|
One of the core mechanics of the game was to allow for the movement of certain objects within the scene. Using the Lerpz tutorial as a starting point I created some C# scripts to handle this mechanic. There are still a lot of improvements to be made, especially to the movement of the object. It currently works by being the child transform of the main player. this means that any alterations to position or rotation of the player effects the object as well.

As you can see from the video this telekinesis mechanic will allow the character to get to various platforms and areas of the level that were previously inaccessible. There is still a lot to be done but I am quite content with the progress so far.
I have spoken to the artists that were in "Dead Pineapple" and they have said they will be making me some fully functional models but until then I will be using the models from the Lerpz tutorial as a place holder.
