Chaos Canyon
A downloadable game for Windows

After getting some great feedback from players, Chaos Canyon is being rebuilt from the ground up.  In the run-up to the "Improve my Game Jam 17" the following has been added:

  • Splash screen
  • Start menu
  • Water generation and shading has been overhauled
  • Procedural sky added with changes to lighting
  • The camera has been reworked
  • Bob now has some super useful paddling animations
  • The controls have been reworked and simplified

Day 1:

  • Five new scenery prefabs have been added to the introduction/tutorial level
  • The terrain heights have been fixed with jagged edges smoothed out
  • Excess foliage has been removed
  • Terrain has been repainted
  • The player's collisions now take into account anything with a "Bouncy Rubber"  physics material and these collisions no longer damage the player's health
  • Colliders have been added across the level to prevent the player bouncing over land and getting stuck
  • A tutorial pop-up has been added to the start of the level, as well as a level complete pop-up at the end
  • A custom renderer has been made, so the player can still see their character when they go behind something
  • The main scene loop is functional, sending the player from the main menu to the intro scene then back again when they finish the level
