Weekend Update - User Controls and Presentation

We are supposed to deliver User Controls and Presentation working the best we an this Wednesday. We have implemented walking (the first tech prototype had this), an healthbar, cards and item-pick controls (using placeholder sprites because we're waiting for the animated sprites from the artists) and a pause screen.

The only thing that's left to implement in the controls is the "holding" control that would show the item description while pausing the game and the "use-item" mechanism, which doesn't make sense right now because we don't have the monsters and colliders implemented yet to take the damage or the animations to implement, but we and the artists are working on it.

Stay tuned! We're working hard to bring you the best experience we can :)

During this time he gets to know their personalities, and learns about their preferences and interests. Like this he can make them happy during the dialogues, and so he is finally able to cure them during the night. the player character is not strong enough to defeat / weaken an angry / aggressive and therefore strong villager (in his monster transformation) during the night! Therefore the player has to survive multiple nights, and has to progress quickly during the daytime. This also opens new possibilities for the nighttime gameplay: the player has to hide and run away from strong mo...

1st cycle

This week we finished up the 1st cycle project document everything went smooth, from now on we got to focus on which software/game engine we want to use to build/develop our game. Its definitely going to be a hard decision, choosing from so many options and knowing that once we choose "there's no way back" and you just got to stick with it. Hope we do the right decision!! // Francisco
