This week had 2 main focuses: Making a tutorial, and preparing for Soft Opening, where professors visit, try our work, and critique it based on the goals we set out to complete at the start of the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we discussed in previous blogs, the biggest issue at the moment is the lack of clarity for new players, and creating a tutorial should solve a lot of that. We came up with a new mini-level, where players will both be forced to learn the basic control scheme as well as the general goal of levels. This was challenging for our programmers, since, unlike creating a regular new level, this requires new scripting for when text appears, how it looks, and when the text progresses. However, we did have a working version of this by the end of the week. We plan to make some adjustments, so that it doesn\u2019t require a different button that isn\u2019t used in the regular game, but it certainly adds clarity for the players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also prepared for Softs, which meant discussing how we would present our game so that faculty could quickly and effectively understand our mission and why we made certain decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
