This is the game that I worked on, and there is credits in the game to say what I did.
I was a problem solver by fixing issues that had come up from having multiple people with multiple styles of programming. For example we had an issue where the game couldn’t tell when to remove potions from the players inventory, I learned through troubleshooting that the problem was due to the inconsistent use of namespaces. The solution that I found was to create a separate script that had the ability to transfer functions and variables up the namespace chain so that they were accessible to the all scripts.
I worked with Connor to troubleshoot a script that was intended to play a random walking sound effect.
I used the Unity Documentation to find ways to make my programs work.
In this session I learned to be able to work better with others on scripts.
The most important reaction was that the game looked unfun because the gameplay loop was simplistic and didn’t give much feedback. other reactions were that the city looked bad, the UI was very bare-bones, and there was little feedback to if an action did anything.
In my opinion we did the best we could with a bad idea. The game idea was written down on paper and it seemed fun then but in practice it was far to slow and the decisions were not interesting. Another issue was that we were aiming far out of our weight class in terms of complexity and so while we got the game done it was incredibly difficult to make the systems work.
