Today, during class, I’ve finished all of the core gameplay and the assignment requirements for this class. However, this doesn’t mean I’m completely finished with the game. Here a list of things I’d like to add in:
- Character animations: right now, the character only has one sprite which moves around. I don’t mind this at all, but to make the game feel a little more complete, I’d really like to add in character animations.
- Exterior sounds: I’d like to add in some additional sounds for the exterior of the game. Right now, it’s very quiet. A little too quiet.
- Extra exterior assets: The exterior is fairly empty right now. If I have the time, I’d like to add some extra assets to fill it up a little more.

Due to some appointments I had today, I wasn’t able to work on BPW 2. I’ll finish some character animations tomorrow and add those in. I’ll also try to work on the shaders and hopefully I’ll be able to add in some extra sounds. It would be nice to finish up the game this weekend. That gives me plenty of time to work on other deadlines.

Today I implemented character animations and they look pretty cool. I’ve never drawn a walking pixel art character before, so it was definitely a challenge. But for a first time, I think it looks pretty neat. I also added in the sounds. The only thing there’s left for me to do, is add some extra assets. For the assignment, I also shouldn’t forget to finish project documentation and a gameplay video.

I finished up the project. I drew two other assets, a car and a sign, and added those in the exterior. I’ve updated my Github, logbook and project documentation and I’ve already made a build and gameplay video as well. Everything is finished now, but I won’t hand it in just yet. I’ll just wait until we’ve had our final class, just in case I’ve forgotten something.
I really liked working on this project, even though I was dealing with a lot of pressure because of a lot of other deadlines. I’m proud of what I’ve made and can’t wait to see what others think of it!
