First Devlog of my new Game


The idea

This game is inspired by the sentence "Why did the chicken cross the road?" (yeah, that´s all about the idea)

I want to make a game where you are a chicken that have to... Cross the road.


Setup the project

First of all i need to create a Unity Project

Then, i need to make a scene based in an isometric view. After watching a tutorial in unity, this is the result.

And, after changing some materials and the background color, this is the result

Actually, it looks great.


The Player

For make the player, i actually use a cube with another cube in his eyes to diference his rotation.

The movement is simple: 

  • You use A or Left Arrow to rotate -90 degress
  • You use D or Right Arrow to rotate 90 degress
  • You use W or Up Arrow to move 1 unit to the fornt of the character.
  • If there are a wall in front of the player, he will not move. (That´s so realistic)

Also i add boxes (maybe this mechanic has not sense now, but in the future we all will believing in box supremacy), you can move them and pushing out of the map.

Losing

Actually there are two different ways that you can death

  • Falling out from the map
  • Touching a car (the wide cube)

When you die, a simple UI will appear beacuse you are a noob

Winning the game

When you cross the road, a UI will appear because you are a pro player

Enviroment

  • Cars

This simple but wide cube will act as a car, to summary his behaviour, the car will be moving forward at a fixed speed adn, when it leaves the screen will teleport to his start position (actually not, when he reaches a certain position it will teleport to the original position)

  • Sewer Holes

When you fall into the sewer, the player will disable all the collisions, making he will fall from the map (Fun fact, it actually is a simple black cube)



Post Processing

To make that the prototype will not look horrible, i actually added some effects like Vignette, Color grading, etc (I forgot all of them)


And that is all of my firts Devlog, see you the other week to show you all the cahnges that the project have.
