This is is the final devlog that I will release for my game. I have uploaded the final build for Escape Mania. In this documentation, I will try to summarize everything about my game in the last build.
I would say that my final game is implemented around 70% of what I have written in my concept document. The idea of the game is still the same where player has to find key in order to escape the game world. However at first I explained that the player will have to defeated all the enemies to find the mission/quest, but in the final game I changed it into killing some enemies to get the chest spawned. So the player does not need to kill all enemies, but more specifically killing enemies until they have gotten the right key from the chest found.
Also, I have mentioned that I will be using dialogue to help the player in succeeding the mission. However, I decided to use notification and pop up systems to give the player idea of what to do next. Another thing is that I had thought of adding time to record the duration of the player escaping this game world. But according to my peers, they have given overall feedback during the testing session saying that the difficulty has pretty balanced. So, after having some thoughts, I am not adding this feature to my game as it might make the game too difficult.
Other than that, every thing is pretty much the same and I have implemented according to my original idea.
Overall, having the testing session really helps me. Since many people have tried out my game during week 12, they could help me point out which part/feature I have to improve. There are some bugs that I did not realize before as well. So I have fixed all the errors any improve my game to become even better based on the feedback given from my peers and tutor. There are 3 updates that I have completed (all specified in Week 13 : Updates based on testing devlog). Along with other comment that they have provided in the discord, I have received positive feedback regarding my game. Therefore, I decided to keep them.

Game Description / introduction

Game Screens:
First of all, user will be needed to type their name before entering the main menu.
In the main menu, there is a title screen with four options containing "Play Game" which starts the game, "How To Play" to learn about the game's basic rules, "Settings" to adjust the volume, and "Quit" button to exit the game/application.
In the "How To Play" screen there are informations about introduction to the game, equipment and its function, and controls
When the "Play Game" button has been pressed, the game will start by positioning the player in the bottom center of the game world. Player can move around using the key controls and mouse to shoot enemy. Here the player has to shoot enemies to find the keys inside the chest
If the player has found the red key, player can know go to underground room 1 to complete the mission. By colliding with the stair and clicking the red key in the inventory, the player will then directly moved to underground room 1.
Same as what the player have to do with the red key, after finding the green key from the chest, player can go to underground room 2 to complete the mission there.
After completing both of the missions in the underground rooms, player will be in the Game World to find the yellow key in the chest again by shooting more enemies. When the yellow key has been found, a quest will appear (this is just a blank quest, there will be message written there when playing the game).
The quest has mission inside and it is the clue to find the blue key (last key). When Player has found the blue key, player can go directly to unlock the door and escape the game world. Here, a winning pop up will appear to congratulate the player.
