Im very pleased with how how my final game turned out it looks roughly how I imagined it at the start of development I would have liked to have added more animations and sound effect but implementing tackling was harder than expected especially controlling the whole backline at once. The art could have definitely used some polish but om happy with how it looks and it matches the overall art style I was looking to achieve. I added tackling players to the game which I don't think I had planned in the beginning it made the game more challenging to lose players and made who the ball got passed to more important.
Testing session:
The testing session for me was a bit rough for me as the UI I was working on had bricked my game so I had to use a rough older build but testers got the basic idea of backline such as controls and art style direction. most of the feedback was obvious stuff like game over states and try states in the game but there was also great feed back of starting my players further back and changing their speeds which I implemented in my final build.
Basic controls:
- Forward = w
- Back = s
- left = a
- right = d
- passing aiming is done with mouse and targeted player is highlighted in green
- left click on mouse = pass ball
list of features:
- rough AI that chases player characters.
- Multiple levels
- custom character art and background
- game over, restart and title UI screens
Asset list:
- defender character art by me, used as sprite for the defending AI
- player character art by me , used as the player character sprite
- background of field by me
scripts:
- passing which allowed the ball to go from player to player aimed and fired by the mouse,
- tackling stopped a players character and player loses control when collided with by a defender
- Ai chasing defenders chase the correlated player depending on level
- game manager switches scenes and displays try and gameover UI at the appropriate times
for some of the scripts I used chat gpt as a guide and edited some of the outputs to get what I needed this is the link:
