Dates: Oct. 30 - Nov. 5

Decisions:

• Level 2
  • Reduce size of spider area and move up spider webs
  • For wall add painting of boiler room door to indicate next level
• Highlights
  • Re-haul highlights since current ones require high quality graphics card
  • Current ones may cause game issues 
• Direction
  • Add dolly camera for all puzzles
  • Try implementation for arrow guiding to next clipboard
• Level 3
  • Layout finalized

Obstacles / Things to Consider:

• Conditional cinematics for dolly camera depending on which puzzle solution was picked
• Whether highlights with blur are currently feasible for target devices
• Level 3 time constraints
• Additional solutions for current puzzles

Progress:

• Implemented core Woody animations
  • Walk / jump / push
• Added initial dolly camera movements in level 1 to help guide players
• Improved hint system
  • Priority hint letters for words with multiple solutions to prevent hinting away from certain solutions
  • Hint letters can now be removed to prevent from “locking a player in” to a certain letter
  • Added tooltip for first usage of hint
• Fixed minor bugs
  • Overlapping interactable objects now always work on closest
  • Can no longer draw in air (movable objects erase their markings when moved)
• Implemented box puzzle in first level
• New room textures

Next Steps:

• Level 2
