Hey, there today I will be going over some more of the development of my game which is now officially known as Woodland Terro I have decided. This week there was a lot of progress. The progress that makes the game feel like more of a whole game, and at this present state you can definitely see some improvements in the development. 

This week I wanted to focus on some major elements that are within the game and they are as follows:

• Add music to the main menu

• Add a border around the map so the player cannot leave and go out of the area

• Expanding the map to its full size 

• Add a stater building in with ProBuilder to make points of interest

• Adding in Diary pages one for an introduction to the game, and one for a quick starter diary

• Add footsteps and wind howling sounds in the game

All of these goals were achieved for this week and I am really happy with how everything is turning out. This week I continued with the video on how to make a horror game on youtube to help me in the development of my game specifically this video:

What’s really working well for me and especially this week was doing a lot of research on how to add pages pop-ups and freezing the game when you interact with an object. I found a unity asset that helped a lot on making the interaction with these diary pages a lot easier because the code was mostly done for me. I had to use photoshop to create the pages background and the text for these pages which was a bit of a pain because it took a lot longer than I wanted it to. 

What I found really difficult this week was making the footsteps sound work. Using a video tutorial on youtube kind of helped me but a lot of the tutorials used javascript which isn’t what we use so I had to improvise and try and find assets that came with the code I found a few assets on unity and brought them in then combined them together and it somehow worked out well. Here is the link to the tutorial that I tried to use:

Overall this week was really good I am happy with my progress so far and I think I would consider this to be a really good alpha, now its a lot more work to get to the beta.

For next week I would like to achieve:

• Adding the rest of the Diaries into the game in different locations

• Have the enemy designed and ready to be put into the game.

• Have the enemy agro after a certain amount of pages picked up

• Have it so the pages get collected after the player picks them up

• Have it so as your loading into the game there is a screen explaining the controls 

Here is the progress of this week for the Alpha:
