So some of you may have read my previous post about showing off our groups game at a local game dev meetup. It's now just over a week since the event happened so I figured hey! now is probably a good time for an update!
Overall the game gained quite a good response and got a large amount of attention and had quite a good response from everyone who tried it out. The interest the game gained was also a good chance for us to promote our end of year show and hopefully drive some traffic towards it for when it happens. The biggest plus of the night for me was not only seeing the game get such a good response from people but also seeing some of my programming in action. One of the main scripts I had created for the game was the camera script which follows the player around the screen and zooms out at certain times in order for players to get a full view of the room they are currently in. For me it was the first time I had more than just a couple of people experience using my code and see how they responded to it, at the same time it also helped me see that if this code was working as intended and people had no problems using it then maybe the code I have been writing in my tutorials will also have the same response?
In the next couple of weeks we'll all be working together to make our game, Ponder as good as it possibly can be before the end of year show on the 24th of June. I have quite high hopes for the game even despite the problems we've had during the games development. Everything seems to be going well so far, the gameplay is forming slowly and the game already looks absolutely fantastic, hopefully I'll have some more to post as well as maybe some footage after the event.
Alongside this project I'll also be continuing development of my own projects with the intention of displaying them at the end of year show, keep an eye out for more on those projects soon!
