End result

This is the end result of my game although i do still need to add the finish screen but apart from that it is complete.

Targets

i think i did okay with my targets i did get last week and this weeks mixed up a little and did the artwork last week and part of the game this week but it all turned out the same.

feedback from peer-

The game was good I liked the sound effects, and the art and art style the creator used. it was funny and entertaining, also the game had a nice difficulty scale witch took me off guard at first because it got more difficult as you went on further and i like that because it gives some sort of rush and excitement. But I will say given more time there might been more polished like the whale sound was a tiny bit delayed but that's just to do with the time crunch id assume. also the character moves a bit too fast and not like how i expected it to for the style of the game but bit didn't hinder my experience.

targets

over the past 3 weeks i have been working off of my weekly targets, i have done all of what i need to do i know i haven't done everything on the list but i have done the majority of it and my game still turned out how i wanted it to.

audio

this is one of the audio files i used, i did want to add another one throughout the whole game but i didn't have enough time.

UI

this is the UI for the game, the "fish" and number next to it represents the amount of fish the player has fed the whale. The "text block" is actually a timer but only shows up in game, as the timer decreases the game slowly gets harder and items spawn more frequently.

bubble capacity meter

here i added a meter next to the bubble so that players know how much capacity the bubble has. I did have to get Jake to help me out as i didn't have a clue what i was doing.

whale shark code

i added a 2 frame animation to the whale shark and it hasn't worked and also when you feed the fish to the whale they don't disappear now, i have tried undoing it but it still doesn't work. I think that this code was overly complicated and didn't work so i changed the animation into a flipbook and changed the code.

near the end

this is near the end of my game, i have a animation for the whale shark but for some reason it wont work or it works once then it wont work again and the fish wont disappear when eaten.

this is my game currently, as you can see the fish have fallen into the bubble above my characters head which also has a meter next to it so the player can tell when its getting full/ is full, once full the player then feeds it to the whale by entering the red box.

Targets

this week i did the majority of what i needed to do, i finished off the artwork as well as started to make my level. you can see in the picture that all that needs to be added is the artwork and an animation for the whale.

game

I changed my game idea ever so slightly, my character has to collect the falling fish but she can only collects a certain amount bin a bubble above her head before she has to empty it by feeding it to the whale shark and instead of a score system there will be a fish system of how many fish you have collected.

adding my character

when adding my character to keep the animation i did i had to individually add in the frames because if i added it to a tile set it would have pixelated it and i wouldn't have been able to see my character.

I had some struggle with the animation on my character with the tween tool it was very faded and without the opacity it wouldn't change. I wanted to use this tool so my animation would look smoother but it didn't work out which is fine.

This is my game so far I need to add most of the artwork in but I will be doing that next week. I have also changed my idea slightly, the character is going to collect the items and then feed it to something on the right I'm not 100% sure what yet but i think something like a whale shark. instead of a score its going to be how much of the item you can feed the animal.

this is the inspiration I have for the background of my game.

This weeks results

This is what i planned to do this week, i have created moodboards and produced and partially animated my main character. i didn't get as far as i thought i would. I still have to create my sprites and animate them but i am quite sure that i will get it done.

My character

This is the end result of my front facing character, i did change her again with the side view as i didn't like how the skirt looked from the side view as well as see through.
