Dates: Nov. 6 - Nov. 12

Decisions:

• Solutions
  • Get “hint point” words by reading from a dictionary of words (rather than manually generating words)
• Audio
  • Implement sound effects source with distance based volume for better quality sound
    • Also ensures volume scales correctly when modified in settings
• Level 3
  • Modify layout implementation to remove fan being in separate room
  • Make level a bit smaller (given time constraints)

Obstacles / Things to Consider:

• Picking the right package for highlights
  • Want one not too intensive so it runs well and also looks good
• Level 3 time constraints
• Whether we want to do dolly camera only for level one instead
  • Ask in playtest presentation
• Additional level 3 solutions

Progress:

• Implemented base level 3 layout
• Added dictionary API to query hint points
• Added additional sound effects
  • level complete
  • new spider defeat sounds
  • new clipboard sounds
  • spring bounce
  • pencil trail
• Incorporated new fan / desk asset into scenes
• Implement sound effects source with distance based volume for better quality sound
• Updated level 2 layout
  • Match new design to reduce useless space
  • Add additional assets to make the level feel less empty

Next Steps:

• Continue development on level 3
  • Implement solutions
  • Implement game complete screen
• Highlights / toon shader
  • Continue work on implementation
• “Clipboard tracker”
  • Add UI element to show where clipboards all
• Dolly camera
  • Add panning camera to all assets in level 1 for playtest feedback
• Playtest report
  • Generate playtest report for beta presentation
