April Progress Report

Hey!

This month we’ve mainly focused on:

- Menu refactoring

- Second world spiking

Menus

We’ve redone a bunch of the UI for menus, as well refactoring how they’re implemented. Not to much to say on this but here’s some gifs :)

Second World

One of the main concepts we wanted for our game was each of our other worlds to have a different game play style. So far we’ve chose 

- world 1: rpg (this could change)

- world 2: puzzle, horror (sort of)

This month I did a quick spike to see how world 2 could be implemented. So far we’ve got a few components for building up puzzles: pressure plates, moving doors, levers.These seemed simple and easy to add so hopefully this world should start taking shape fast when we focus more time on it.

I also got some fun bugs to play with...

March Progress Report

Hey there!

Since this is our first progress report I guess I should give some background on what we’re trying to do, who we are and what we’ve done so far.

We’re a two person team of UK based devs. Currently we’ve been working on this part time since August. We’re attempting to make a 2d side scrolling rpg game with a magical girl theme. The game has two main modes: 

School Mode: As the player you are a student at a boarding school; you can interact with other students and teachers, partake in lessons, purchase items and probably other stuff that we haven’t thought of yet.

Battle Mode: In battle mode you can battle things :) we’ll probably expand on this as we develop it more.

These two modes will affect each other ie. making friends with other students will allow you to bring them into your party for battle mode.

Tools:

Game engine: Unity

Language: C#

Art: Gimp

Sound: ???

Progress so far:

We are both new to unity so we spent the first few months getting our heads around seeing how things are done using it. 

So far we’ve got:

dialogue

menus: pause, inventory, characters

different school rooms including dorm rooms for most of the characters, school halls and classrooms

character creation

Currently in progress:

quests

saving

battling

battle animations

The next month:

Hopefully over the next month we will get battling working with individual animations for each party member. Then look how we can link the two modes together. It would also be good to get how we’ve implemented characters in a good place as well. Maybe we’ll come up with a name for it as well ^^
