8.8-8.21 Midterm Defense/Optimize Wind Field, Jump, Drag/Destructible Walls/Levels
8.8 Supernova Midterm Defense: Summary of Judge Feedback/Optimize Jump and Wind Field
- Levels should focus on reflecting the relationship between the two players, especially when using the rope for puzzle-solving. The two players can't just each play their own game.
- The jump cooldown and wind field visual effects need adjustments. Jumping doesn't need a built-in cooldown; just use gravity to create a physically accurate sense of falling. The wind field feels a bit stiff with characters going straight up.
- The physics properties in the game are already sufficient; focus on designing the levels carefully.
Follow-up plan: 8.8-8.20 (submit PPT and game on the 20th and 21st), 9 working days, 13 days including weekends.
Spend 1 day implementing simple foot IK, 1-2 days implementing scene destruction effects(delayed beyond schedule, actually took 3 days). 4-6 days (2+2+2) implementing levels, 2 days modifying jump/wind field/drag character animation effects. After levels are completed, 1 day implementing title screen/main menu/Human Fall Flat-style save system, 1 day implementing sound effects.
- Removed jump cooldown as requested by the judges. Selected a more natural jump animation. Optimized the airborne feeling of jumping by reducing gravity. The transition between the jump action and jump end was a bit stiff, so modifications were also made to the transitions between animations. Additionally, jumping is no longer allowed while playing the jump animation (meaning the cooldown is now implemented through animation; jumping can only occur after completing one transition from jump to idle/walk/run).
- Added a separate floating animation when entering the wind field to prevent characters from looking rigid when entering the wind field.
