Week 13 DevLog : Updates Based on Testing

ESCAPE MANIA
A browser game made in HTML5

Testing

Last week, I have participated to do the game testing with my peers and tutor. In this devlog, I am going to summarize all the feedback and improvement/updates that I have made in order to make my game even better. As my peers and tutor have tested and run my game, there are some bugs that they have noticed. Here I am also going to discuss about it as well. Other than running and testing Escape Mania, they have also filled a feedback form provided by me regarding my game. Therefore, in this devlog I will be explaining something that is different from the weeks before. 

Updates

  • Update 3 : Fixing other bugs
  • 1. Shooting Bullets
The bullet is behind the player when shooting facing to the south.
    So since the my player's graphic and the gun are not a separate sprites, I thought it was impossible at first ti make the bullets shoots right outside the gun point. But then my tutor give me an idea by adding an offset to the gun. So i have made a gun point game object under the player's game object. This gun point only need transform component and I used this component to set the bullet starting point when player shoots. Using the all the animations the player has, I add this gun point position to it and set each positions to right outside the gun tip. After doing this, the problem has been solved.

    2. Cursor / mouse control (mouse to target cursor and vice bersa)

i think making the cursor and target cursor should be changed
I would probably switch the icons between cursor and shoot mode, but other than that, it works well
the courser I found a bit confusing, at first I thought you used c to shoot
Didn't realise you could change cursor the first time I played it. Once I realised there were 2 cursors I thought I had to click chests to open them.
