Week 1 Feature Build
It’s been 1 week since our team has started building out the features for the game. We spent well over 200 hours between the 6 of us this week alone on only about half of our total features.
Here’s what we completed this past week:
- Dual character basic movement controls
- Carry-able blocks
- Drag-able blocks
- Doors and 2 types of switches
- Climbable vines
- Thorn obstacles
- The basic mechanics of the boss
- The camera logic
- Character energy drain/charge with basic UI
All in all, it was a pretty busy week. I worked on both the character walk/run along with the camera logic.
I’ve uploaded the build here if you’d like to check it out: https://sethrolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/Above%20WebGL%20Week1/index.html
