Day 6 Senior Project

Work Day 6     

\

    Hello, yet again my readers. Today I continued creating my video game and got quite a bit done. I started off the day by finishing up the starting scene. I ran into an issue where somehow some of the tile's pathways had been lost, resulting in masses of pink tiles. I ended up just removing them and re-painting the areas. I also found the solution to the bleeding problem I had run into before. And of course, it was just a single setting I had to change, the issue was knowing what setting and where it was.

Below is an image of the completed starting scene, along with the Reaper guide that will explain the character's mission to the player.




    Since the starting area was completed I began work on the general world scene, this is the majority of the exterior setting. The entire game takes place in a small mountain town. The buildings, caves, and other smaller areas will be separate scenes, but anything outside like the forest and mountainous terrain will be part of this second scene I'm working on. Here is what it looks like so far.

    
    I still have to detail it better, unfortunately, faced-paced world design is not my strong suit. The rising cliffs act as the world border for the player, giving a logical reason as to why the player can't go there, rather than an invisible wall.
    Next, I plan to get interactable objects and characters working, allowing for the creation of quests. After that combat, and finally the lighting and atmosphere. If I have time at the end I may attempt to find some copyright-free pieces of music to play in the background of the game.

Hours Today: 5 hours

Hours Total: 21 hours 50 minutes

Day Two Senior Project

      Today I started off with getting collision working for the player character, walls, and NPCs. This required me to create a blocking object and creature object layer. Here is the code used to create a collision effect. This is in the same class as the code shown in my last post, the Player_Movement class.     I also made it so that the camera will follow the character around while leaving a small amount of leeway. This required the creation of a new class, the Camera_Motor class. I also spent some time adding to my assets library as well as clipping sprites from tilesets into 16x16 pieces. Overall I spent 4 hours and 10 minutes working today. Below is a gif demonstrating collision and the camera movement.

Day 12 Senior Project

 (This somehow got saved as a draft instead of posted last night as intended.) Work Day 12 May 22nd, 2023 - I see you have returned dear reader to intake the knowledge of how my senior project is going. Today I spent a decent amount of time working, mostly trying to get everything straightened out with the game. After being unable so far to find a solution to the NullReference error I decided to take a different approach and attempt to use an animation-based system, similar to what I created the player stats menu with. Rather than having the text appear above the character's head, I would create a panel with the text already there and merely move it into FOV using animation. This plan took a bit of work to code and I ended up running into another problem, despite every indication that my call to the trigger for the animation should be working, it is not. I intend to meet with Spencer when he returns tomorrow to attempt to find a solution to this.       The other things I've don

First Day of Senior Project (Creating a Video Game)

Image
      For my Senior Project, I am creating a video gaming using Unity. This is the first time I have ever attempted something of the sort. The game will be a top-down 2D RPG of sorts. I intend the premise to be that you play as a farrier of souls who must help the souls of the dead escape the In-Between by completing small quests for them, while this goes on you must avoid the evil spirits which are trying to kill you.     I spent the majority of today building an assets library. This is a group of 2D artworks I will use to create the setting and characters of the game. Below is the asset I selected to be the Player Character.      Today I also began coding movement for the character, I have yet to reach the stage of creating collision, but the character can successfully move in all directions. For those interested below is a screenshot of the code thus far, controlling the character's movement along with the notes in green.        I have been following along slowly with a Unity Yo
