Sprint 5 Mobile Game

 Sprint 5 

Nepo Society


For sprint 5 I didn’t work on software. I finished up two documents that were a really important part of the game and that was having scenarios/events that will happen to the players each time they are in gameplay. For this we are still discussing if the 50 scenarios are shuffled into each gameplay so numbers 20 through 30 events will be selected throughout the pool so each gaming session feels different. Each answer has different endings that makes the game show more variety then just copy and paste. So how the questions work is by selecting (A) is making the player accept or doing whatever scenario/event the player is in. The player that selects (B) is taking the safest route with each event, because we wanted it to make the user feel like the risk is too high for them and see if they wanted to risk it or play it safe. Lastly if the player selects C they are backing out of whatever event or they are playing it the safest as a safe person can be. The next idea that comes with these selections are the percentage of the outcomes that the events come with. The percentages are spread around to have different odds for each scenario; having this the player will be left clueless on what they are going to go through on each selection. The C option focuses stats, but some do have a percentage but still most of the time it's just going to show a +/- to a stat that the players have. The stat the player will boost up or down will focus the stat that the scenario closely matches like in the picture stock scenario matches the mind having the player do decision making on what they want to do.

Here is an example of the first one that we have and each scenario/event has dialogue for how it starts when you are facing an event. Decided to go with that idea to kinda have some type of creation of your own story and you can see what type of life your nepo character went through. I really liked the idea of making it have that imagination and trying to see what the character is going through every time an event happens. This was good, but I went on to give the player different answer dialogues so it feels like you are the person in the game instead of just playing an ordinary phone game. Making each one have different sayings and say different dialogue gives the game more instead of just repeating the same lines every time through gameplay. 

The events will have dialogue for each answer and each percentage option they obtain. If the player selects (A) shown in the example above you will be faced with the percentage. Shown if the player gets the 25% part they will get a dialogue that is relevant to what just happened. Same thing goes for the 75% making it feel more responsive and give feedback to the player on if the option they chose came to be good or made them scratch their head and be thinking like “what was i thinking about picking that option.” Having this all complete will make the next playtest a success, making the player get locked in and seeing how far they can go in life instead of just clicking buttons in the last playtest that my team had. My team is ready and set to take a big leap in this sprint and make this mobile game happen.

  Soar Kickoff 2 Kicking off sprint 2 I assigned the group the tasks that they needed to complete for the two weeks that we had. I assigned myself with the UI of handling the main menu, pause menu, and the game over screen. The first thing that I tackled was the main menu screen so when people get to playtest the game they will be greeted with a screen with the name of our game, and buttons to either play, go to controls, or to quit.   I wanted the main menu to have a background to be something close to our game's gameplay, so I chose the mountains with chasms. During gameplay the player will be flying through chasms being met with challenges and being able to fly above and enjoy the view of the sky. I provided the player the option to look at the controls to have a clue on how the player controls work before going straight into the game. I provided pictures for the player with text explaining what each button shown on screen does. After I got the main menu down, I went to the...

Soar Kickoff 1

  Soar In the first kickoff of the game Soar didn't start off at the time that we wanted. We were delayed 4 days after kick off started. We created the github and unity project to have the official kickoff with all tasks assigned by me as the producer of the team. The first level that I created was without the guide of the lead designer, but he gave an idea on how he wanted it. I went into unity and tried creating the level, running into issues that the pieces were too big for the world and having the world lag due to there being too many big items, and it will bug out to the point delaying the making of the level. I showed the lead designer and he told me to switch it up due to it not being playable. The lead designer and I worked on the level but he gave me an example of building a level based on the height of a square. I made walls both being size 50 on the Y scale having it look like a massive wall but in game it looked perfect without being too tall or short.    Then...

Sprint 3 Kickoff

Soar Kickoff 3  Sprint review three starts off with me the producer assigning work for the team so we can go in knowing what to do. This sprint we needed to have a build for the class to playtest so we can get feedback and solve the problems that come. The first thing that I tackled was the enemy models, even though we didn’t need art the lead designer felt like the game needed color and character builds. The game has three enemies: the sitting still, the follower,  and a forward enemy. I took the role of taking on the sitting still enemy and the forward enemy and then passed the models to the lead designer to texture them. I followed the guide of what the characters are supposed to be referenced from as best as my ability. Both characters took me around an hour and a half to create, UV, and color Id. I made the weapon for the main character, it being a spear that they will have all game. At first it was going to be a sword from the first sprint, but later was changed for it b...
