Ferrous Team - Week 2

Completed this week::

• Game Start UI:
  • Game help page with instructions
• Implemented:
  • Added controller support, so players can use an xbox controller to play
  • Movement polishing, with improved physics and jumping. Also added drag and friction changes.
  • Added select feature for interactable objects (Toggleable feature for now)
  • Improved physics on push/pull mechanics. Force grows exponentially as it is closer to the player.
  • Added ray effect when pushing and pulling interactable objects. Has glow effect using unity post processing library. Changes colours for different abilities.
  • Added outline feature on interactable objects. Default outline is white, changes to blue and red according to push and pull. Also has minor glow effect
  • Added stasis mechanic, so when a key is pressed object can be frozen in place. Only one object can be in stasis at a time.
  • Added playable level using platforms that need to be pulled up and applied stasis on to traverse.
  • Added the character model into the game
  • Added a script to change model highlight colours
• Paper designed multiple puzzles

Obstacles and/or Blockers:

• Puzzle Design

Important Discoveries:

• Following git conventions allowed us to integrate with ease. Avoiding working on the same scene was crucial.

Next Steps:

• Puzzle implementation in Unity
• Magnetic objects with charge that can push/pull
• Ferrofluid mechanic that can change charge of objects
• Level building
• Game UI/Interface
• Ray effect bug fixing
