Week 9 - Enemies / Interaction / Puzzles
Enemies
The game will consist of multiple enemies. They can be put into three main categories.
1. Flyers.
The Flyers will continually follow the player. They can only interact with the player and are given the highest ordering layer to give the illusion that they are flying above everything in the scene. When making contact with the player they will remove one heart worth of health. At higher levels flying enemies may also shoot projectiles at the player.
2. Walkers.
Walkers will continually pursue the player around the scene. If the player makes contact with a walker they will lose one heart of health. The walkers can be made to be easier or harder by adjusting their speed and steering variables.
3. Boss
Bosses will be located at the end of every level. They will move in various patterns and will either fire projectiles at the player or attempt to charge into the player to hurt them. The player will have to slowly lower the boss's health to kill it.
Puzzles and Interaction
Within each section of a level of the game, the player will have to kill a specific number of enemies before being able to proceed to the next section. This will continue until they reach the boss at the end of each level. Doors will block the player's character from leaving an area until they reach the kill total. Upon entering a new section Doors will be activated and the player will once again have to kill the required amount of enemies to proceed to the next section.
There are also walls, pillars, and spikes in each section which both the enemies and the player will have to navigate.
Shop
At the end of each level before the boss, the player will be able to select one of three power-ups such as heal packs, guns, or a speed boost.
Feedback
Overall feedback for the enemies was good. Animation for movement and death is required.
Enemy animation has now been implemented.
