Issues and Bugs that arose and were resolved

Code used Line and Sphere Traces to check and interact with the Blobby Blueprint, but it failed to cast.

Despite the ability to Fuse and Collect Blobbies worked before, placing them back down on the floor caused them to be unable to bepicked back up. Some Blobbies could not be picked up in general either. Additionally, as I made an updated version of the project, Blobbies lost all abiliy to fuse and be collected.

I simply had to replace the single-type Traces to Multi Traces which would just check everything and then determine which object to interact with that was traced. This entirely fixed every part of the code related to that.

The Fix for the issues was a lot simpler than it seemed at first.

Aiden Harrell

1. My (Javier) thoughts watching:

a. Nothing - Aiden

3. What was your first objective?

a. Combine Blobbies and get higher - Aiden

4. Was there anything you found frustrating?

a. Nothing - Aiden

a. The moment you use a fused Blobby to get higher in the stage - Aiden

6. What was the most exciting moment?

a. Describe Objectives

i. Collect Blobbies, Get Higher, Go from stage to stage - Aiden

b. Was objective clear?

i. Yes - Aiden

c. What types of choices?

i. The whole gameplay is deciding which Blobbies to use to solve your way to the top/end - Aiden

d. Any loopholes?

i. No (from Aiden’s Perspective), Yes (Dev thought Purple Jump Pad was too strong during this version) - Aiden

8. Premise appealing?

a. Yes - Aiden

9. Rules easy?

a. Yes - Aiden

10. Controls?

a. Controls are function but could use some work - Aiden

13. Interfaces features to add?

a. Reticle

14. Describe game’s appeal:

a. Cozy puzzle platformer with very satisfying gameplay loop that makes you feel intelligent - Aiden

15. Would you purchase this game?

a. Yes - Aiden

16. What was missing?

a. No besides more content - Aiden

17. Who is the target audience?

a. “I feel like it’s an E for Everyone type of game” – Aiden.

Revision Ideas

· Add reticle to determine where the camera is so players can easily tell where they have to look to begin Fusion process.

· Potentially change some Button Bindings.

· Potentially Introduce new Blobby types in later levels? More Colors with more features/functions.

· Potentially add a feature that allows a Primary-Colored Blobby to be fused with its own color to make it twice as big, and then fuse that Big Blobby with another Big Blobby to make Big Fused Blobbies, which transforms into its object but that object is either twice as big (Green Bridge and Orange Slope) or twice as potent (Purple Jump Pad).

· Add tons of sounds and some music.
