Gameplay

The player must traverse through an indoor office area to find a green orb that takes them to an island very far away.

Here is the Splash-screen:

This brings the character to an indoor setting where they must use keycards to find a green orb hidden in one of the rooms.

For this, I was inspired by my experiences with both retail and office work. I’ve also always enjoyed the horror genre and have been fascinated by low-poly horror games. As I continue my game development journey, I wanted to experiment with elements of the genre I love so much.

Once we get the green orb, we are teleported to the next scene

Here is the script for the orb; it references a script called the “Gamestate,” which is my global script, as well as an interactable script made to handle the interactable aspects of the game:

This resource helped me a lot while creating the scripts for the game:

Players found the game straightforward and mildly challenging. Plaers did not run into any bugs while playing, However, some players were confused because of a lack of UI elements indicating what the player needs to do.

Responses indicate no bugs; however, a lack of content makes the game very easy and doesn’t motivate the player to stay engaged. A few players mentioned that the game felt empty. To combat this, I decided to work on adding some more scenery and adjusting the parameters for the grass swaying shader I made.

This Week, I began importing some assets for a scavenger hunt scene into my game. I imported a small building and also began adding some chests and rocks. In addition to this, I created a model for a key that I will make a collectible.

This week, I’ve been focusing on trying to create a few models to scatter around my scene. I’m working on a large tree in the center of the scene surrounded by flowers. My progress is above.
