This past week <strong>BANJOS <\/strong>focused on the gameplay and user interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing we changed was the purpose of the LED; it acts as a visibility feature for the creator. The variant\u2019s goal is to shortcircuit the LEDs to obscure the creator\u2019s view, so they can sneak to the core. After the variant shortcircuits the LED, the creator has to send in clones to fix the LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Capacitor<\/strong> <strong>charging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The variants have a limit on soldering and need to recharge at the capacitor. This spaces out the gameplay more, and the variant must walk over to the capacitor to charge up rather than go directly from LED to LED. The map has been adjusted so that the capacitor is further away from the LED and resistors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hidden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wanted to incorporate the forest into the gameplay better. Hence when the variant is in the forest, they disappear from the creator\u2019s view. We adjusted the map to include more trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PlayerObscuredNoLED.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>variant hidden in creator view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Animations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We implemented the attack and soldering animations. Now players can walk, attack, and solder. Meanwhile, our sound designer developed sound effects for attacking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/animationss.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>variant walking, attacking, jumping, and soldering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>User Interface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We created a user interface so that the players know how to interact with the environment. First is the health bar and battery bar for the variant. Furthermore, we created an interface for soldering, so players know how long to solder the electrical components. In order to have the interface stand out from the map and environment, we adjusted the colors of the map to be more cool-toned, while the interactable items are bright yellow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colordrafts-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colordrafts-1024x451.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colordrafts-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colordrafts-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colordrafts-1536x677.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colordrafts-2048x902.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>cool vs warm tone environment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-1024x298.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-1024x298.png 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-768x223.png 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-1536x447.png 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-2048x596.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>variant soldering with UI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-copy-1024x308.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-copy-1024x308.png 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-copy-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-copy-768x231.png 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-copy-1536x462.png 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/53-472\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/draft1-copy-2048x615.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>health and battery icons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we implemented a health and battery system for the variants. When the variants get attacked, they lose more HP. When their HP reaches 0, they can\u2019t move, and they have to wait for another variant to come over and solder them\/heal them. Any action that requires a soldering iron uses up the battery. Hence, when the variant is soldering a connection, attacking, or healing, they expend some battery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next steps are going to be playtesting amongst ourselves and with other people!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udf33 \ud83e\udd16\u26a1\ufe0f\ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udf33 We\u2019re back with more updates!
