Hello. We are moving to indie devlog number 4.
First, I wanted to add timer to game. In that way player can challenge himself to try one more time to decrease finishing time. Important to add that the timer will only apply after player completes the quiz with gift in the end. The hardest thing for me to keep serialized list of float value of seconds. But after some investigation I made it.
Next, I tried to add a settings page for a game. In my opinion the most interesting options are sound option and graphics. As for graphics I separated Post Processing Value and HDR. It really has impact on less performant devices.
After that I have added Main Menu screen. You can see basic buttons like Play, Levels, More games. Also, in the right corner there are social share icons and, in the left, – sound icons. I suppose the positioning is pretty handy.
In the bottom I pasted a link to the music channel which provided me a musical theme for a game. You can listen to it.
Here is also a Levels screen. You can choose a level here to challenge. For now, I left it available to choose any level, even if you hadn’t finish previous. I think of it as a right way.
After that, I wonder of loading time on my phone, thus I started to google about scene preloading script. And found one. So, after some workaround it works just fine.
And the last staff I implemented is a snow effect you might see. For a gaming scene it was not difficult to make except positioning the particle system effect by y axis.
Here is a way I made it.
But for a Main Scene I caught some faults on the way. The difficulty was UI. I couldn’t understand why my UI doesn’t render particle system? So hopefully I found a Particle Effects For UI plugin and after some workaround implemented it. I’m glad of the results. It seems to be fine!
If you haven’t play for my last game Bus Driver. I encourage you to test it out. Hop on the bus, collect all passengers on the way, earn coins and discover more routes! Link to Google Play in description.
If you want to ask me some questions about game development or be the first testers, welcome to Discord Server: https://discord.gg/FtMrUaaBw3
