Dev Log Week 4

Dear potential pilot, This week we tried implementing a scrolling background to add to the overall aesthetic of the game but ran into some problems in which the scrolling background would break the game and so had to remove it altogether which is a big shame, so we just added a still background which still turned out really well thanks to our brilliant art team. 

Also, the score system we had thought of adding in will take too long and we’ve had to remove that too which is another shame but not that important in the grand scheme of things. However, we did manage to get the boss drawn once again thanks to our amazing art team, and added into the adventure which came out amazingly. 

We were also able to get the wave spawner working so we’re very happy with that and it works perfectly, where it will spawn waves of enemies of the same type and harder levels will spawn different types together to make the game more difficult as it goes on, also we were able to finish the spawners and levels for the boss as well as just the regular enemies, so know after a certain number of levels, instead of spawning more enemies the game will spawn the boss which acts as the final level of the game and when beaten you complete the game, but it’s quite difficult so be very prepared pilots, this’ll be your toughest challenge yet and if you think you are then you’re not, you have to definitely be ready to take down the boss that awaits you. Another thing we added is a stage timer, which will count down while in a level as the theme is that the world will end in five minutes and so each level will be five minutes and you have that long in each level to finish it and push back the alien invasion that has plagued our planet. One of the next things we will do is add a tutorial to the game to get pilots up to speed and comfortable with their new ship before setting out on their quest to save the planet from invasion.
