What I've been working on Part 7

So for this weekend I was the combiner!  I had to combine what everyone did on Thursday into one big project.  This included putting Ryan's texture changing, Morgan's music changing, and putting in some models we got from Christian.  I also had to make prefabs of all the models, including putting collision boxes on the ones that needed it, put the shadow underneath the mushroom and umbrella, and make so the shadow works for the mushroom.  I then had to redo my tutorial level from before because it didn't upload.  However, this one is better and I hope Morgan can finish it off well.

What I've been working on Part 6

So today for the project I made a tutorial level.  It will just show the basics of what Alby can do.
The beginning part just shows the movements Alby can do such as moving on the z-axis and jumping:

The next part is just a mad dash to the next block in order to introduce the meter and the sun damage.  We need to create arrow signs the player will keep going. 


Next we just have the sunscreen so we can explain what that is.

The next component is the umbrella check point.  We need to bake a shadow underneath this so they know they are safe. I changed it so you get all of your health back. Where's the texture for the umbrella?


The next few parts just show the basic aspects of the level such as:




2) moving platforms (staying underneath of the shadow)
3) sticking to the bottom of a platform while its moving. For some reason he won't move with the platform when he's stuck to it anymore. 

Finally, we have the climbing of green blocks and getting the ice-cream!  Need to fix the prefab for ice-cream.  I didn't know where the code was for it so I left it for now.







Now that I play this tutorial I think I might need to change some things around so you don't have to go as far back if you die.  Like introducing the glass blocks while introducing the sun.  Speed up the platforms, but I'm going to see what my cohorts say.

What I've been working on Part 5

This week there was a lot of little things that I worked on to get the basic functions down.  The first thing I did was to get the particle effects appear when the sunscreen is picked up. I made it so the particles just lasted for as long as Alby is invincible.  I also made it so the sunscreen disappears when you touch it, but reappears when you leave it.  Here's some pictures:


In the above pictures you can see I also put in Tom's new thermometer.

I also put particles on the ice-cream:
