Finally got a bit of time this evening to add to this prototype
- Added a simple HUD to keep track of what object the player has captured
- Added a kill zone when the player falls
- Added fade in/out during room transition plus restart

Latest daily update:
- Added a room transition
- Created the ability to capture multiple objects at once and stack them on top of each other to reach higher platforms

Had a spare hour this evening so I thought I would add some visual changes;
- Applied a colour change to the object when the viewfinder hovered over
- Added a flash effect when capturing/placing
- Changed the colour of the viewfinder on areas that cant be placed

Decided to switch over to GameMaker2 as I wanted to expand my knowledge with different engines. Had a couple of hiccups with collision but happy with how it's turned out. Now to expand on this mechanic and see where I can take it

Recently played the game 'Snapshot' and really liked the idea of capturing objects within the world using a viewfinder. Then pasting them somewhere else in order to complete the puzzle

Over the weekend I thought I would try to replicate this feature in unreal. It's nothing fancy at the moment

First post on a new platform. Will be focusing this account purely on #GameDev. Will aim to post any thoughts on general game design topics as well as post any personal work as and when I have the time do do any. I'll finish off with a recent photo of me with my tiny 4month old daughter!
