Progress

The game requires a dark room with firewalls illuminating the parts of room as they travel towards the player. We have picked assets for room and fireballs, integrated with vive and further looked into the movement of the fireball towards and away from player. Right now, we have camera as the player and a single fireball moving in one direction towards player. We have tested rotation, transformation and translation effects on the fireballs to create an immersive environment.

Next Steps

To add rigid bodies and create an effect of collision when the fireball hits the player. To add multiple fireballs from various directions in the scene. To further work on the aesthetics and game logic.

Challenges

• To take the position of the player dynamically and change the fireball directions towards the new position of player.
• Deciding on audio effects.

This week we solidified our idea and decided to go with the second part of our initial game. We worked on deciding what kind of room and what kind of spell we should use. We have decided in the first step of our game that we would mainly focus on the aesthetics of the environment. Moreover, we have also started looking at various assets in the Unity Asset Store which might be useful to us. GitHub repositories for the project has been initialized along with the creation of a blog website.

Progress

So Far, We solidify our idea and decided to go with the second part of our initial game. We configured Unity on our local laptop and we started installing basic environment in the unity to see how it works.

Idea

The game starts with a player trapped in a room. The motive of the player is to survive in that room by taking the specific color magic spells and at the same time avoiding other colors spells.The player has to survive in the room for three minutes and he would be given three lives. So if a player gets hit by the spell of other colors, his one life would be taken and if that happens three times, the player will die. As the game progresses, the speed at which the spells are coming will increase.

Next Steps

We will focus on creating an environment and finalizing it. At the same time we will decide the spell structure. Basic goal would be to create an initial environment and if that works out, we will focus on the physics behind the spell’s movement.
