Sprint Review 1 - 10/30/24

    During this sprint, I worked on getting our player controller working. We will need a different one from what is provided, and I did not want to try to change or add anything to the one we were given, as I thought that might be more of a headache. My player controller does not have the stepping simulation that the provided one has, nor does it make any walking sound effects, but it gets the job done and I think I'll comatose less bugs with the rope swing by having my own. Plus, I was able to make it so anyone can change the walk speed, jump height, as well as the camera sensitivity without breaking it.    



    Some of the modeling I got done this sprint was a treasure chest, which took me longer than I care to admit, along with a rope. The chest was giving me some issues at first as I completed it once and then realized that I needed to have it open and when I tried to adjust what I had it caused a whole bunch of issues, so I had to redo the chest. Now it has an inside and we can open it in the scene if we want.


    Finally, I also made a rope that will be used for the player to grab onto and swing across gaps in the land giving us an interaction with the scene that we think would be cool. I did make the rope small because from what I was seeing is that the smaller it is the more rope like it will look in Unity as it needs to have many duplicates as well as multiple anchor points.

Sprint Review 5 - 12/11/2024

      The first thing that I worked on was getting the UI setup for the scene so that you know what key to press as you move along through the scene. We found this to be important because there are around 4 different keys you need to press not including WASD and space. What I did for that was to have the text pop up when you walk within range of the item instead of having it in the corner of the screen as we thought it would look better that way. After that I found some background music for the scene and implemented it into the scene as. The music chosen was some cave ambient noise to fit the feel of the scene when you walk inside.       Some of the things I worked on was getting a respawn feature in the scene as a way to make it easier to move around and does not make you restart the whole thing if you fall off because you missed the rope swing part of the map. Even though it is easy to make it past the rope swing part we still felt that there should be so...

Game Scene Final Project Post

Our project was based on Uncharted 4 A Thief's End, but we also pulled some inspiration from the other Uncharted games. We wanted to do A Thief’s End in Uncharted 4 because of the giant ship in the level that we wanted as our centerpiece. What we went for was a sort of ambiance when traveling through the caves with both of them being a little dark as there are no light sources in them besides the torches in the first tunnel and the flashlight or lantern that you can find outside of the caves. In Uncharted you play as a treasure hunter and so we tried capturing the same feeling that you would get by adding in a rope swing mechanic to challenge the player on whether or not they can even make it to the cave. The story behind our scene was supposed to be a lone treasure hunter that was searching through a small cave and finds a little bit of treasure but then continues to find the real treasure was hidden behind another set of secret doors where they will then find more jewels, ...
