Work in Progress --- Sounds Coming Soon

Don't forget to put up your playtests.

I'll compile them Wednesday night/Thursday morning

Enjoy

Instructions screens finalized

I finalized the instructions screens. This week I plan on figuring out and fixing the problems with the character animation.

Update

So ok, we should be solid on levels at 14. Ray can pump these out like well ill stop there... Let's just work on polish for the rest of the project. We need to adjust variables and tweak the current levels depending from the playtests.

Brian, somethings I noticed with your main menu was that you were checking the position of the player but could you change that to be states? Like if the player hits down on the controller/keyboard they go from state 1 to 2, then just have a switch statement that takes you to different screens depending on the state. Just saying this so we can move things around on the main menu without having to adjust the code a lot.

Josh and Brian, the sound effects are really late. Also just wanted to say I think the jumping sounds a bit like jumping off a trampoline and not sure if it fits. AANNNDD I may have removed the sounds playing in the game since I had to merge the files and didn't even think about it, so we need to throw these back in on Tuesday.


AAAAAAANNNNNDDDDD one more thing, don't use the mouse on the main menu screen or youll go to the wrong screen. Brian can you also look into that.

New Levels and possible titles

There are 14 levels in all now with 1-6 acting primarily as learning levels I guess and should teach everything except shooting and the collectibles(since they aren't there) so when playtesting keep this in mind.
Levels 6, 13, and 14 feature wall jumping and should be winnable as I tried to make sure they were never too far apart and set to what was my max distance wall jumping (though that could be due to my stupid fingers : ) ). So I guess pay special attention to these when testing this mechanic and player reaction.
There are also three possible titles in there using the level builder to design them, so take a look at those ( you may have to go into unity and adjust the level generator script to view them)

Some things

Ceiling jumps are out for now due to wall jump testing, Ray can you make some levels that make use of wall jumping to properly test how it will feel. Also a new version with some tweaks and I removed that black/gray spike thing like you guys wanted, but this may be removing the feedback of what killed you since the spike disappears once it kills you.

Pick-up Done

I created a paintbrush for the pick-up in the game. From here I plan to tweak the character animation to make it look better.

Things to get done and what I saw from playtesting

So heres a break down of what I think thats needs to get done. This is primarily to help me and maybe you guys out. We should all be play testing also and adjusting variables if something feels too slow or too fast. Something major I noticed from the playtesting was the initial jump was way too high so we should lower that and give it a higher extra jump (the longer you hold it down the higher you go). Ceiling jump had positive response but something seemed a little strange to me, there was no feedback to know that you were going to do a ceiling jump.

Brian
-----
2. Merge the sounds with the latest build
3. Get the menus merged into the latest built
4. Integrate the game pad/keyboard into the menus (no mouse)
1. Get the internet

Ray
-----
1. Polish up your levels
2. Start creating a flow of levels (easy to difficult)
3. Tweak gameplay variables like jump, run and whatever else

Bob
-----
3. Need a ceiling jump animation
1. Need a jump animation
4. Possibly a wall jump animation
2. Sliding down wall animation
?. Model for the collectible if we are still going to use it (talk with Ray/Josh about what this is going to be)

Josh
-----
1. When sounds get implemented, test out everything to see if it is how you imagined
2. Maybe help Ray with levels
3. Tweak gameplay variables like jump, run and whatever else

Me
-----
1. Change Spike colors when hit by paint temporarily
5. Polish controls
3. Give a little randomness to throwing paint
2. Implement directional paint throwing (I think I may follow what Metal Slug and Contra did for directional shooting)
7. Change blocks to a 3x3 blocks to give a more natural color bleeding feel
6. Possibly add AI goons that walk left/right and throw paint
4. Work on getting the ability to leave a wall slide without jumping
8. Experiment with using the triggers to shoot a stream of paint and go further depending on how far the trigger is pushed (last on my priority list)


Think that should be it, probably forgot something but eh
