Pier 87 Second Update & Current Progress

DISCLAIMER: Everything you're about to see is not complete and it's all still a work in progress. Thank you.

This week I worked on:

Grey-boxing - I finished the hand drawn map for the entire map I wanted to convey in the game. Because I don't believe I'd be able to get the full map done however, I chose to cut out the bottom section and make purely the pier and the beach for my deadline of May 2020. I put it in a much more reasonable scope.

From this:

To this:

Dialogue system - A simple dialogue system that gets the job done. If I have time I want to re purpose it and fix it to match to a dialog box.

UI fixes - Before I put in the UI, I was using print strings to figure out all of my numbers and that quickly got out of hand fast, attaching it to the UI saved not only the player, but myself as well from insanity.

Falling and Getting back up - My design for the game was being stumped by a bit of a programming issue, getting the player to hit things, fall down, and get back up was a bit of a challenge. I got assistance from a programmer friend to help with the issue and with our combined knowledge we were able to figure it out! Teamwork!

I'm on schedule so far and can only hope to not run into any snags on the way.

Have a great rest of your week!
