Bugs

FIX NOW!

  • Reset doesn't work in the debug/release executable.
  • Jumping doesn't work when gravity points to the ceiling, the collision normal against the ceiling is (0,1,0) but it should be (0,-1,0)
  • You can charge right through a wall......
  • Particle effects don't work through reset
  • Charging particles stay alive

Probably should fix

  • Quitting has an error because the Monster destructor tries to set the HUD, and I think it's already deleted

Probably won't fix

  • Variable number of particles is wonky

To Dos for this week

Making the game fun

  • Fix lag o_o
    • Fewer Tentacle Rage Particles
    • Fewer Fog Particles
  • Faster turning camera
  • Test with INIT_HEALTH = 100, change damage numbers (bullets, fireballs, etc.) so they make sense
  • Show player title in stats and tutorial
  • Test/Fix Start screen
  • Better bullet graphics (different texture?)
  • Visualize target in FPV
  • Make the harpoon a stun gun when it hits a tentacle
  • Make bullets moar dmg, big delay between every bullet, no bounce
  • Increase gravity interval
  • Decrease 0-G interval
  • Platforms:
    • 5 moving: middles of walls
    • 5 static: corners and center
    • 3 crates
  • Increase platform size by 4
    • Make sure harpooner can harpoon itself and others onto platforms
  • Change charge into invincible mode for small period of time with delay in between
  • Story at the beginning
  • Making powers slightly more overpowered/fun.
  • Extend play time: More Phases - Make them automatically switch or making some player switch.
    • Phase 1: Tentacles that are passive
    • Phase 2: Tentacles that attack
    • Phase 3: Gravity switch with Tentacles
    • Phase 4: Fog on top of Gravity and Tentacles
    • Phase 5: Fog and Gravity and Monster Heads
    • Phase 6: Just Monster Heads + massive rate of fireballs
    • End: Game Over - stats screen
