Week 9: The Second Prototype<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

As planned, this week we released the prompt for second round of prototyping, with 3 members making the prototypes and 3 members providing tech support: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using PAT v0.2, make a demo that satisfies requirements 1 through 4, and at least two of the requirements from 5-9. Document the problems you run into, and ask for help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the package here: PAT_0.2.unitypackage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find internal tutorial here: Tutorial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This assignment is due on Oct.31st. No late days allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your demo should have:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A new chain of attacks that uses different action states (existing or new ones you add)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. At least one imported animation with triggered events that is used by state modifiers to modify an action state<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. At least one new attribute (Ammo\/Mana\/Be More Creative than YC) with effects that modify it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A dummy that dies after being attacked for a number of times<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*5. At least one new state modifier that modifies a current action state or a new one you created<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*6. Beyond simple locomotion (Wall Climb\/Hook\/Wall Jump\/Be More Creative than YC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*7. One mechanic from a game you played that you thought was really cool<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*8. Your own damage calculation system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*9. A character shake (preferably changing model\u2019s transform) after receiving damage (without introducing a new state)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you want, you can view our prototypes here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do we care about these 9 requirements?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Tutorial Test: Gameplay Tag & Action States<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Tutorial Test: Import Your Own Animations, Animation Events & State Modifiers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tutorial Test: Effects & Attributes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Tutorial Test: Effects & Attributes. The way other characters affect the player character is also through sending effects. However, the behavior of sending effects between characters and within the same character is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Tutorial Test: State Modifier. This is implementation-specific and requires coding. Therefore it is optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*6. Game Developer Test: We want to see actual use cases that can never be exhausted in tutorials. Adding a new locomotion requires understanding of multiple sections in our package that usually include action state, state modifiers, animation and more, and how they work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*7. Game Developer Test: Similar to above, this requirement is vague on purpose so that everyone might generate something different and rip off different famous games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I may want to make this Hades build, where an ability allows your special attacks to lock onto an enemy that is affected by your other skill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I would have to look into lock, projectile and effect (maybe more) in our package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I want to make Huskar’s passive ability in Dota2, where they attack faster as their health lowers dynamically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

I would have to look into animation montage speed, attributes and maybe more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*8. System Test: We would like to find out a) if this is do-able for users, b) if our current pipeline is user-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*9. System Test: If you can fulfill this, you can make any general feedback in PAT. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
