Team's contributions:
Since last week's journal entry, our team completed the game proposal document and presented our idea last Friday. We had a new member, Pouria, join us which is a great addition. He seemed interested in UI, storytelling and particularly the monster AI. We went first and I think it went well as far as a proposal goes. We will be looking forward to the more in depth feedback from the TA and prof about our proposal document.
My contributions:
I created a 2D (URP) project in Unity this week and created a repo for it on Github. My goal this week was to use some free assets and get the project started until our artists design and create our own assets. I followed tutorials by Brackeys and downloaded assets that he provided. I set up the player controller script and got the character moving but found out that my character was behind all of the background objects like walls and trees. I learned about sorting layers and put them behind the player while the foreground objects like grass would appear in front of the player. I then created animations from spliced sprites for climbing, crouching, idle, jump, run and hurt. I hooked up everything with transitions except hurt and climb since I don't have enemies or a ladder to climb in the scene yet. I created parameters for speed, jumping and crouching and update them when required in the player controller script. As a result the character has its basic movements set up.
Reflection:
Things are going well so far. we are identifying what direction we want to go with so we can decide what kind of assets to make. Maybe one "problem" so far is that everyone's schedule is all over the place and seems hard to get everyone together except maybe Fridays. We stayed after class last Friday and brainstormed a lot of ideas. This week on Tuesday we had an impromptu meeting as well and discussed things we were confused about in terms of the direction but got that sorted. I think some of what Ray and Michelle worked on had to be reworked but everyone is on the same page now. We will keep the discussions going on Discord going and ask questions if we need help with anything to help each other.
