Programming wise we did a lot of bug fixing, for example, there was a persisting issue where hats couldn't be picked up after they were shot off. We also added an animated scene at the end where the winning player takes off on the train.
There was also a "death animation event" where the camera switched to the player who dies upon losing all of their hats and follows them as they run off. However, due to supervisor feedback, this feature was eventually scrapped. The camera switch was too quick and would take too long to smooth out in the final week of polish.
Many issues have been fixed including the music and sound effects not being played when the player returns to the main menu from the join screen or after winning a game.
Bug fixes include:
Several sounds have also been added to the special abilities to add extra oomph.
This week of the last polish sprint we made sure our scene had some dynamic aspects.
The large cacti in the scene wobble now when playing the game.
The train now also wobbles and squeezes while standing still and when it moves on the end.
With every asset now also being in the scene and all changes applied art wise we have baked our lighting and changed the values somewhat to give a better feel when playing the game.
SOUND
All sound has been added and all the small errors have been removed!
With all this done, it means we are ready for release YEEEHAAAW! So gather your friends and start shootin' for them hats
