A competitive multiplayer volleyball game made with the Unity Engine.

blobby-volley-world's Issues

Deactivate server browser

During beta phase no custom servers will be hosted by users, so a server browser is not needed.
Either the button should be greyed out or completely deactivated.

Make maps not changeable in local screen

In beta phase only the gym map should be available to play, therefore the map change buttons shouldn't be interactable.

Menu background animations should be handled by Unity ParticleSystem

Create ball shadow sprite

Currenly used sprite is a low-res obsolete player shadow.

Shadows are sorted in front of net

Ranked game should only be available when a name is assigned

Button should be greyed out when no username is assigned.
While the queue is active, the name should not be changeable.

Design basic game sounds

New and fresh sounds are needed for hitting the ball, whistling, bomb ticking and bomb explosion.

Client can't handle not being able to connect to a server well enough.

For example: when blackout is done, stop the server, the the client will blackout again and then be stuck on a black screen.

Create stylistic icon for gym map

Insert the new clock (broken) in gym map

Outer players can jump over the double fixed barrier when jump over net is enabled

Something with the ClampedNetPosition is not working for outer players in double fixed mode.
Seems like the outer players can jump over their quarter limit. They will get reset shortly after, but this is not expected behaviour.

Ball respawn should happen even though player is pogo jumping

Ball has to check for player grounded faster then currently.

Remove unused canvases from player prefabs

Stop match queue when exiting main menu or changing username

While play-while-queue feature isn't implemented, the queue should stop as soon as the user clicks any button in main menu or clicks the username label.

Continue sending QueueRequest while waiting for players on server

Otherwise the API queue counter would serve no purpose.

Switch ball sprite back to vollyball skin

Currently the ball is using the basketball skin. While the ball skin feature isn't integrated, the ball should always be a volleyball.

AI player is not able to jump in spring jump mode

Will need separate ai states for that mode, so AI holds the jump button longer, maybe with random offsets.
Probably the Play vs AI button should be greyed out during beta phase.

Move UserInterface namespace to own Assembly

Test match logic online

Create a Desktop Icon

Create a keyCode - keyName dictionary for controls

This dictionary should map every assignable key to a readable name that will be shown on the control buttons on the settings page.
It also will be used to make only those keys assignable to controls in the first place.

Player spawn points in double fixed mode don't switch when players switch

The players get reset to their spawn points in double fixed after each play. The spawn points should rotate as the players are rotating (volleyball style position-rotating).

Create glow and shading sprites for ball

Should be fitting to the glow and shading of the player.

Ghost mode icon is too large

Looks bad when next to the other playerMode icons.

Rework net sprite

Current sprite is too short.

Make the exclamation mark in the players color who has the serve

Remove splash screen

Disable credits button

Credits are not needed in game during beta, because they could be easily provided within the readme file (see #11).

Create broken glass for clock in gym map

Check font legality

Player and ball shadows aren`t positioned correctly

Ball is floating above ground and not touching it

This causes the weird positioning of the shadow, which is actually positioned correctly.

Add realistic ball spin physics

Maybe look at the PR in the BV2 repository where some guy implemented it for blobby volley 2?

Re-enable color grading

Color grading should only affect the map, not the game entities or the UI

Hide mouse cursor during matches

Ball can glitch into ground and slide upwards slowly

Happens often if you play the ball straight downwards or when multiple map collisions happen at the same time

Reduce game speed to something between 90 and 95 percent

Player shadow is sorted in front of ball

Create a readme file for game client

Scale ball sprites according to actual in game scale

When scaling the ball via transform in game, the collider size isn't scaled accordingly.
Best fix would be to scale the sprites beforehand, so the transform scale remains at 1.

Lower the endposition for the falling water drop in the bucket

Create an additional global light for player, ball and net

Test Client-Server Connection logic

Player ground collision should be calculated using an EdgeCollider

One time position syncs sometimes fail when packet gets lost

Matchmaking servers shouldn't be visible in server browser

Change the global light a bit more into a cold color domination

AI always tries to make the first shot in double mode

AI should only try to make the first shot in double mode, if it's not greyed out. Otherwise it will always lead to a fail.

Make the background blobs in the menu a bit blurry

Create a lightning styled icon for blitz game mode
