Final week!! :(

Week 9

• Studio Meeting (2 hours)
• Bunch of miselaneous tasks from all over the place:
  • Playtest whole game (1 hour)
  • Created two new secret achievements for our Steam page (Need a toal of 10 to publish)
    • Used the event bus system, and also created a new item collection system to trigger the unlock condition for new collectables
  • Created new scenes and interiors for houses and town hall so characters can actually go into them now instead of being locked out
    • This ties into our quest line where we have to go inside the town hall to destroy the player’s save point
  • Various polish implementation:
    • Changed the dialogue and art of the Mob so it actually meakes sense now
      • Mob will be angry before they attack you, and in all subsequent dialogues will be sad after you defeat them
      • Mob were also impacted in the cutscenes, so looked into cutscene manger.
    • Created new bridge for village, revisit, repaired-bridge scenes as the old hitbox was really terrible (it went diagonal and players kept on glitching on it)
    • Implmeneted save game icon and other missing sprites

Week 9

• Studio Meeting (2 hours)
• BUG BASH CRAM NIGHT ON WEDNESDAY (4+ hours)
  • Had a bug bash party at Allie’s place with the programming and QA team.
    • Fixed numerous backlog tasks from Leo
      • Re-did the castle scene scene, the tile map and colliders according to design team specs last minute
      • Various level fixes on village scenes
      • in Forest changed trees and shrub to match intended art (so they are not the same trees as the ones in village)
      • Removed auto tree generation (the trees in our game spawn randomly every time we load the scene) as made some NPCs unfindable at certain locations
      • Just straight up adding our own content into the game at this point because the writers and designers did not give us too much instructions…
        • Made new scenes and character interactions for village revisit (before all the previous NPCs you interacted with in village just did not show up in revisit)
    • Petted Allie’s cat
    • More playtests to discover on the fly bugs we instantly patched

Hours Breakdown

• Studio Meetings: 4 hours + 30 minute overtime
• Everything else goes crazy
