Beta v1.09

Blade Crusade Beta
A downloadable game

Data Collection

  • Each player is given a randomly generated id
  • The game records and uploads replays of every attempt at a level, including success/fail, attempt time, number of attempts, death locations, and collectibles picked up
  • Additionally, the game tracks playtime and total barrels collected

This will allow analysis of where players are dying, and what levels and parts of levels may be too hard/confusing

  • The game sends a GET request to an AWS API Gateway
  • This triggers a lambda function which returns a pre-signed url for uploading data
  • After receiving the GET response, the game sends a PUT request using the pre-signed url and containing the play data
  • This adds a JSON file containing the play data to an S3 Bucket

Levels

  • 8_15 through 8_24
  • 8 is the final "world," and as such, the levels are ridiculously long and challenging. Have fun!

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that prevented pathfinding from working on levels 1_5 and 1_10
