Very busy weekend last week so there was no update. This weekend is also proving to be busy so I have decided to compile a list of things I need to do to complete the first floor and leave it at that. I have a week of development coming up starting from next Saturday – wOOt!
So, what’s left to do:
Finalise lighting for the entire floor; making sure illumination is adequate in areas where the player doesn’t have access to a torch/flash light.
Finish creating all the environment sprites
Look into the first usage of particles for electrical sparks
Water flow system; not as critical for the first floor but really important for the basement 😉
Look into the shadowing to see if it’s possible to tint individual shadows – this would allow objects to cast their own lighter shadows.
Anxiety system – when the player sees things that would disturb him certain things will occur (Shh).
First weapon – Yes, a weapon will be needed.
Additional interactions with the mysterious voice
Add in some sound effects – this is something I’m likely to return to over the course of development to build up the soundscape.
Lots to do. Check in during next week (starting May 26) for proper updates.
