Final update

Hi Mr Ron,

The final update

New assets was added
 Smoke and small explosion will be ignited after a collision occurs
The flame will continue burning and smoke continue emitting after the game has ended

Update on the smoke trait:
I try many sorts of smoke in the default assets folder
And after referencing with the actual smoke trait in game
I have decided to create a faint smoke as initially the smoke is too thick and it could have distract the player

The reference picture and also one of my fav game: Burnout paradise

2nd August game update



  Today was the second last presentation for the game,
was glad that my classmates like my game
I was given valuable feedback by some and Mr Ron, such as


-Destroy the vehicle after collision
-Add lives
-Add smoke particle trait behind the car
-Add text indication to the exit and reset button


As for my progress today,


Add text indication to the buttons underneath, as advised by Mr Ron
Buttons:
-Reset
-Quit

A detailed smoke asset from unity default asset was used
The final tweaking was not finish yet, was advised by my group member to increase more thickness to the smoke
So i will continue to improvise

 

Gameover and score text using GUI.TEXT
The script is created with true and false statement
The text will appear after collision

The font was downloaded from 1001freefonts.com

26th July game update

The feedback i gathered from the first game test presentation was the intense difficulty of the game
I was also advised to add lives/power ups for the player and some grass to the bare surrounding 
However i was thinking instead of adding lives to the player, why not give the player a choice to decide
the level of difficulty to fit their personal preference or competency
Thus i introduce 3 levels of easy/normal/hard



Updates:
 Added
Main menu - start/exit button
Level menu - easy/normal/hard level
In game - restart/exit button
 Fixed the jump control




Screenshots

Main menu - start/exit button

Level menu - easy/normal/hard level

In game - restart/exit button

22 June game update


Current Screenplay






 Mr Ron gave me hefty support on the game. The stuff he thought me and Shalini includes
  • the use of public static int() function - in order to affect and execute other scripts
  • rectifying the jump control, my script was incomplete due to the absence of transform.position and vector 3
  • create explosion using the unity default package
  • create a game start and game over page and a lot more :)


Some other stuff to cover:



Jump control fixed by Mr Ron
The jump was not performing well, i tried to tweak it countless time (the mass, gravity, jumpforce)
and yet it still float in the air for some time then only it came down
i am still trying to figure out a way to increase the falling speed of the vehicle

This was the script to instantiate the explosion, pause the game and launch
into level 2 which is the gameover menu;which i am still working on it
The Time.timeScale = 0 was the previous attempt i tried but it didn't work

Explosion in the default package

Added a tint of colour fog
 Game title logo design in photoshop
I incorporate it with my game


Clamp player movement in a confined area

Basic controls for the (player)main car

Points accumulation system

Road side texture scroll
Spawn one tree every 100 frames

Spawning one road barricade every 50 frames

Spawn the enemy vehicle every 500 frames


I got help from Mr Ron, and gathered a lot of resource from unity forum, lots of modification, trial and error and values tuning were done for all these

Next i am going to seek help from Mr Ron regarding rigidbody and jump control for the player on the next lesson =)

9th july game update





My current progress with background moving UVs done
The game layout and environment is finalized and done, i am now moving onto scripting


The conventional background UVs script from Mr Ron class
i used it for my main road
but it can't be executed on my road side

I found a script named "scroller" on unity site
An optimized script that enables user to manipulate the scroll speed in the X or Y axis 
This is my current setting for the road side

I am trying to spawn road lamp and palm tree along the roadside by using the enemyspawn script
i have read that you have to use instantiate() function to do that
The current problem is the object is spawning at its original position, so i have to try to spawn them linearly and accordingly
apparently i am researching more on this

30th june game update

Have been working and finalizing on the game layout, surrounding and etc
Next we will move on to more to work with scripts to
  • maneuver the player(jumping/left/right control) to dodge
  • spawning the obstacles in the x direction in a disarray manner
  • spawning the lamppost and trees in the x direction in an array manner
  • move UVs for the road plane to indicate and gives the player a false delusion that the car is accelerating but in fact it is not (this makes our life easier)
and experiment on sparks and explosion effects



current set up

For the sky, i just utilize a default dimming sunset texture in the skybox


To bring appeal to the screen, i add in a palm tree

I realize you need to set to transparent>bumped diffuse in order to get the transparency working

I parent a spotlight to the lamppost, lighting up the spot

adjusting the light position


I duplicate and scale the road texture accordingly, trying to match with the scale of the plane

trying to match

road texture

The texture i applied for the roadside, i tried my best to refrain the texture from looking scaled or distorted by adjusting the x/y


Final layout

Right now i am trying to create variations of the enemy vehicle with different colors, but however i am facing some difficulty as i could not apply the texture directly to the car and if i were to change the texture, all the duplicates changes its color, so i am still trying to fix it
