Prototype core features of my game "Handle It"

All done! Changed my mind and decided to do the results & reflections today.

All goals achieved. Will do the postmortem later.

Level building Timelapse with all the features done during the 30 day project

Week 4 is here. Did some work today. Reworked UI for the breakable door (tied it to the door so it’s all in one place). Prefabbed all of the things created in last few weeks, so now they can just be added to any level. Next up is code cleanup and testing to make sure it all still works.

Week 3 is done.

Results: Breakable walls - done. Jump Pads - done. Ground Stomp - done. However the stop is not ideal. It does the job, but player can still grab while performing the stomp. Allowing them to propel themselves further than intended. In week 4 I will need to disable grab when while stomp is performed.

More progress! :D Breakable door prototype is done.

A certain amount of force needs to be applied to the door before it gives in and breaks. Programmed both functionality and some UI elements to show what’s happening, otherwise without them it wasn’t clear what player needed to do. It also helps debuging.

Progress is being made!

Jump pad prefab is done:

You can also see power draining over time and player dying when it is out. Power is also drained by actions, but not seen on the gif.When power hits 0 player respawns, the gif looks a bit confusing.

Power system done. Respawn system fixed, player is now listens for respawn event and resets its velocity and hand state when respawn event is triggered.

Week 2 has come to an end and overall I have made some progress. Goal: Health system [Complete] Power system [Transfered to week 3] Re-spawn system [Complete]

Video showing the health and respawn system (apologies for clicking): Demo Video

Player now has health and it hits 0 player respawns at the last checkpoint. There are also damage burst area (red), damage aura area (yellow-ish), healing aura (lime) and healing burst area (green).

The respawn system still needs work. While player does respawn, only their position and health are reset, all other values, like velocity, don’t. This will need to be fixed in polish in week 4.

Also while power system had to be transfered, it is pretty much exactly the same as health at its core, so it shouldn’t take too much time.

Continuing project from week 2. I know that everyone starts later, but Ludum Dare 44 is on 27-28 and I want to finish this 30 day project before the LD 44, so I can participate.
