05/05/20 UPDATES After Playtestings:

Matthew's Updates:

You can now look at previously placed blocks and they will double in size. The particle effects that occur when placing blocks has been adjusted to only last less than a second. A problem with proceeding to the next level when all projectiles have been blocked has been resolved (minor logic error).

Jonathan's Updates:

Looking at the playtest forms, users mentioned multiple things. The first being that they didn't know where to look in the demo waiting room. To battle this, I implemented text on the other walls to say where the start button is. Additionally, I created an "Incoming Projectile Alert" audio using the Speech To Text functionality. This way the player knows to start looking around the room. Finally, With Matt's help, I squashed a Score counter bug that was being multiplied by two. So now the score counts correctly.


Notes from Playtesting - Here are some things that were commonly mentioned on previous play-test forms:

  1. Player didn't like the Red ball Projectile (This was changed to a more detailed visual asset)
  2. Players wanted a start menu so they could take time to put the headset on (this has been implemented as a waiting room).
  3. In previous playtests, users mentioned the blocks were hard to build and were not building to the center of the screen (these bugs have since been resolved).
  4. Players were interested in a restart button at the end of the game (we implemented this after the first set of playtesting).
  5. One player did not know how to build blocks (we included brief instructions in the waiting room).
  6. Some players could not understand the call to action after building blocks, or were frustrated that the projectiles came from out of nowhere (we edited the audio, so now it informs the player that a projectile is on the screen and they need to prepare for it).

First Testing (Functional) Build

In this post, we will be discussing the work of each teammate prior to our development of our first functional build. This game was designed for Google Cardboard VR. For the purposes of sharing screenshots, they have been recorded within the Unity 3D Game Engine. Video of Gameplay: Screenshots of the Game Jonathan's Commitment: During this phase, I spend many hours focusing specifically on the projectiles. As I mentioned in the video explaining how the game works, the play has about 15-25 seconds before the projectile chooses a random wall, a random x, y, z coordinate on that specific wall, rotate itself to face the player, and apply rigid body force directly to the player. Objects in the room are then also tagged so the projectile knows what it is hitting. If it misses the player, it removes all created boxes, and moves onto the next level (each level adds another projectile). If it hits the player, it ends the game. Things I did: Remove the room and r

Minimum Viable Product: Cardboard Building Blocks

Video: Screenshots: Point the headset anywhere to build blocks at that location.  After protecting the player from a projectile, the score increases If the player gets hit, you can not longer build blocks, and red particles flicker on the screen. You can shoot your blocks anywhere on the wall(s). Update from Jonathan:   My previous primary role for this game was to program and script the UI Text, the Projectile, and the score/timer/level counters associated with those objects.   For this product, I took the room assets and inserted it into our scene, and scaled it to look realistic to the player. I changed some size/time settings on the particle effects, inserted them into the Resources folder as Prefabs, and called them from the script. Now when the player gets hit, or if the player was saved, the appropriate green/red particle effect will appear, and the associated sound effect will also be called (I created audioSources for those audio assets that Nick fo
