This week we added the art for the enemy.  The game still needs more thorough testing to see how many enemies will be chasing the player.   I still have to finish coding a few more interactions and add a couple animations but the enemy is close to being complete.

New Year New Projects!

 

Happy New Year 🥂
New Project❗️ Main character Idle 🧔#ScreenShotSaturday #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #Indie #Game #Development #LowPoly pic.twitter.com/e6fzFTH4Zy

With the new year comes some changes.  I felt stuck and uninterested in the other game project I was working on.  When working on the mobile arcade style shooting game I felt as if I wasn't progressing and even if I finished it, there were 16543531 better versions of that game in the store.  After taking a break from game development and working more on art, I figured I should work on a new game that can be ridiculous and plain fun for me.  Here is that project!  The top video is a close up of the character the player will control.  The bottom video is a preview of the game play.

 

 

Been working on a 🆕 project❗️
Here is some of the character controller using touch 👇

ERRORS ERRORS ERRORS

 

 Errors everywhere! When I resumed working on this project I realized my spawn system was a little inefficient.  After getting annoyed with an app draining my phone battery I felt more obliged to trying to make the game be more battery friendly.  I began optimizing but with every change I have to go and make adjustments to one or more other scripts.  It feels like it was one step forward two steps back.  Hopefully this weekend I can get back to where I was!

Back to the Midnight Diner

I get free time after handing the mobile game build off after finishing my tasks.  When I was browsing Netflix I saw a banner for Midnight Diner.  I rewatched an episode and now feel motivated to finish my Voxel scene.  The free time I get between handing and receiving the build will now be used on this scene.

Figuring out the art style

 

Finally started adding art, lighting, and Post Processing.  Messing around trying to get an underwater look.  More to come!

Changing the Camera Angle and a few Mechanics

 Back to doing Game Dev❗ I really enjoyed creating the 256🔺Models and plan to do another later this year.  Re familiarizing myself with the mobile project I decided to change the walls.  Originally the boundaries would work as physical walls, but the game felt much more challenging when I made the walls bounce and change the players direction.  I also decided to move the camera angle to look closer to our original concept.

Here is the video:

Seemed more when the walls bounce the player

Making Time

 Spent a little too much time finishing up the Battle Pass on Valorant.  I still made time to work on my mobile game project.  Here is another weapon the player can acquire.

New 256 Project Preview

 I enjoyed participating in #256fes △ I want to keep making models with those restrictions to improve my modeling and texturing.  Here is a sneak peak at my next model.

I also had some time to work on my mobile 2D shooter.  I integrated a temp UI.  The UI has a health bar and I integrated more power ups at the wave complete screen.  I ended up with interesting RNG when recording this and got two of the same power ups. 🤔

Working!! Progress on Diner and Mobile Game

I found out I have been taking screenshots wrong in MagicaVoxel 😅

I never really messed with the rendering engine in MagicaVoxel.  After accidentally hitting the button to switch to their renderer I saw how much better the screenshot looks without the object bounding boxes.  From now on I'll only take screenshots from the renderer 😅

Learned some string theory and added a score object after an enemy is destroyed

For my mobile game I wanted to start integrating the UI to prepare for play testing.  The score looked a little too dull on its own so I created a script to leave an object containing the score information from each unit on the spot where the enemy died.  Slow but progressing. 😴

Prototype Update

 Added Power Up Rewards for the player to receive after surviving a wave of enemies.  When the wave finishes two randomly generated power up choices will pop up.  The player will have to pick one before the next wave can start.  I had interesting RNG for this video.

Power Ups are implemented.
Fantastic RNG to get to choose between the same two❗️

Voxel and Prototype WIP

 

Finished the TV that will sit at the corner of my Diner scene.  The show uses an older TV so I went with a CRT I remember owning when I was a child.

Changed the enemy spawning system to premade waves instead of random number of enemies

My mobile SHMUP made some progress.  When I was originally making it I created a spawner that would generate a random number and send that many enemies down.  The enemy positions would be random as well in the initial spawner.  The new one requires me to create prefabs however I believe it will create more interesting game play with intricate patterns.

Midnight Diner - Voxel Food and Drinks

For my Voxel version of the diner from 'Midnight Diner', I started trying to fill the counter.  Here is what I have done so far.  Right now everything is still in Magical Voxel, I'll import all the meshes into Unity when I get closer to finishing.

I wanted to try to make my unfinished project list shorter.  As I was going through old prototypes to see what I should can and what can become fun I stumbled upon this game.  This project looks like it can be a fun arcade mobile game so I decided to put more work into it to finish it up.  Lets see how it goes!

WIP - Prototype

I started working on enemies for the new project.  

 

Simple enemy that will chase player when player enters its range.

 

Made the script flexible for any number of enemies.

 

Enemy that will chase player if they get too close.

 

When the player gets in the area of the enemy, the enemy will track and shoot at the player.

The Gun Show Launch!

 

The Gun Show is finally out.  After launching the game we identified a few errors, however we have spent the last couple days fixing them for an update that will be put up today on the Google Play Store.  I am really happy with the way the game came out and I hope people enjoy it as much as I did.  

The Gun Show is a local multiplayer game where you and another arm wrestle in two different game modes.  Iron Man mode requires you to tap at a faster rate than your opponent.  Showdown mode tests your reflexes to see who taps first.  Tournament Mode is coming we just didn't get a chance include it with the release.

 The Gun Show is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NaClStudios.TheGunShow

Shark Week: Jaws Voxel Scene

 Finished later than I anticipated.  Here is a screen shot and video of a scene I made in Magica Voxel.  I wanted to recreate an iconic shark with voxels.  Happy belated Shark Week! Here is a video from my twitter with this scene. I assembled the scene in Unity after separating the meshes in Blender.

Kame House WIP

Current progress on my small project in Magica Voxel.  The text is not coming out the way I envisioned. I think I may cheat it when I import into Unity.

Removing bit of the mess I made with the font.
