Guiding AI

• AI leads the player to the nearest point of interest that has not been interacted with
• AI waits for the player at intervals making sure they're never out of the screen vision

AD forward, LR lean

Tuesday, Week 38

Topics

• Supervisor access to controller demo
• Supervisor access to GitHub repo
• External testing of controller
• Ice skate trails
• Boids
• Ownership of game

Notes

• Send supervisors character controller build
• Send supervisors GitHub repo link
• External testing of controller would be beneficial. Test with some rhythm element as playing controllers with and without this generate very different experiences
• Investigate skate trails adapting to the cracks and roughness of the ice surface
  • Look into surface footprints in snow
• Boids might want to follow some curve instead of a point
• Ownership of game
  • We own everything we make.
  • Contact Drivhuset at Niagara for guidance on how to produce a commercial product from a school project

• Team composition: members and roles
• Time plan, including phases with planned deliverables and deadlines for all team members
• Technical requirements for all aspects of the projects (which tools are used and what for, including version control, team management, communication, and documentation)

Move GDD and Project Plan into repo

Description

Up until now our documentation has been handled in Google Drive. We are moving our documentation to the GitHub repo so we can centralize our project and connect our documentation updates to issues.

Definition of done

• Project plan moved into /docs
• Game design document moved into /docs
• All documents use the markdown format

Pause menu changes

Definition of done

• If transitioning to a new scene when the game was paused, time does not remain stopped

Tuesday, Week 37

Topics

• Project plan
• GDD

Notes

• Define core mechanics in pre production (Gantt chart)
• Overview of level design (what does the world look like, key locations)
• Specify exact interactions, in order to prototype and tie to gameplay
• What kind of tool are we going to use?
  • Heat map for data analysis
  • Cut/ deform mesh

• Current build workflow is not a tool

Animation Events

Definition of done

• Use animation events to notify the trail effect.
• Trail effects start when either feet touch ground.

Conclusion: Animation events work and are not to complicated to add. In relation to ice trails it is simply easier to use colliders on each feet as they work for all animations.

Added findings: Many of the basic animations are good enough, a lot of them have root motion which needs to be disabled individually for each animation in Maya.
