Journal Entry 5

Date: 13-15.05.2024

Activity:

• Finished second and third biome
• Added Main menu, UI, and fading screen
• Bug fixes

Notes:

• When trying to raycast, I spent quite some time debugging because the ray was hitting the starting collider.
• As always at the end of making something, I realised that some parts of the code have a bad structure, and that the overall quality of the code went down, especially at the end when I wanted to finish.
• There are also many many things I would like to change or add, but I decided not to, because it would take too much time and wouldn't actually add anything significant.
• Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the result, although the game ended up bit different than how I envisioned it at the beginning.

Invested hours: 

• Working on second biome and enemy behaviour with raycasting - 2.5 hours
• Managing camera borders, finishing enemy, adding sounds: 3 hours
• Working on third biome, figuring out lightning and shadows: 3 hours
• Finishing everything: 4.75 hours
• Minor changes and bug fixes: 1 hour

Outcome: build attached to this post
