Journal Entry 6

Date: 17-18.05.2024

Activity:

• Received and implemented feedback from the class
• Added moving background in the main screen
• Created video for the lecture

Feedback I received and my thoughts:

• Added to the game:
  • Return back the fishes in the mushroom biome when they kill you - I agree, that is something I wanted to do as well when I had the time
  • Texture for tiles - good idea, I forgot about it during creating the game
  • Bug when fishes in mushroom biome behave weirdly - I fixed that, again something I didn't have time for before
  • Make it more obvious you can enter the mushrooms - I made the collider, in which the mushrooms start to change, bigger
  • Make the old fish turn to you you - Sure, I was originally afraid it would be difficult because I'm not that confident with working in canvas, but all I had to do was flip the sprite.
• Decided not to add
  • More types of boulders during the boss fight - It wouldn't be a problem to do, it just takes some time to create the sprite for the boulder, then create smaller sprites for each part, put it into game objects, set up the colliders etc.

Notes

• I was bit sad I didn't get a lot of feedback, as most of the people who played the game said it was fine and that they didn't see any major issues.

Invested hours: 

• Adding forementioned stuff - cca 4 hours
• Adding moving background in main menu and other bug fixes - 2 hours
• Choosing and downloading software for making the video - 2.5 hours (yes, it really took that long)
• Making the video itself: 2.5 hours

Outcome: build and video attached to this post
