Production Week 5

Gameplay:

- Player can throw and aim his lasso, which retracts afterwards
- Lasso can grab packages for the player
- Player receives fuel from packages, which can be dropped in the escape pod to fill it up

- An escape pod floats around in the map and can be fueled up
- There is a black hole that slowly sucks up everything GIF
-  All 4 players can spawn in with a different colored character GIF

Problems:

- Massive bugs appeared when implementing the package stealing with the lasso
- Packages picked up with the lasso scaled with it
- When the lasso grabbed the package it would register as picked up by the player and teleport to his back
- Planet colliders and rigidbodies were set up incorrectly

- Bouncing caused movement in z direction

- Particle Effects aren't scaling with their parent gameobject

Overall test:

Overall focus was to add more detail to the planets.

• Broke the mountains up in smaller parts 
• Changing how objects are scattered
  • For trees added denser scattering and masking out areas to create forests
  • Building villages instead of randomly scattering houses
• Added more divisions in the planets 
• Making new objects to scatter on the other planets
