Part 7, The End:
With the sprint at it's end, there's plenty more I wish I'd done: unfinished features that'll wait until next sprint, a player zoo with more art in it, a lack of creator's block killing my workflow, etc.. Still, I'm happy to have a start and excited to see what else we'll do!

Part 6:
Once it was time to make an executable, that also meant it was menu time. A simple Main Menu, Pause Menu, and Credits Screen really brings a game together you know?

Part 5:
You've already seen it in the background a few times now, but here's the point in the development process we got an actual blocked-out Player Zoo. In case you needed proof that I'm not one of the artists on our team, look at its glory a touch longer and you'll find it. Teleporters included!

Part 4:
Most games discourage prop-flying, and yeah, I had to stop it from happening with the ingredients, but witches love a good (or in this case, terribly made) broomstick.

Part 3:
Since I'm a programmer, I should probably show off some blueprints for you. These are the blueprints running ingredients and other interactable objects. Ingredients get handled by a physics handler after casting a ray out of the active camera and other objects trigger from a collider.

Part 2:
With base movement settled, I next turned to getting our item/ingredients started. Whether in first or third person, you can pick up whatever ingredients you're staring at and fling them around like there's no tomorrow. Plus, they're conveniently labelled!

Part 1:
It's not a game without movement. First thing I did was set up some simple walk/run/crouch movement on a third-person character. Next, I rigged it up so that you can instantly swap between 1st and 3rd person with 'C.' The precision of FPV and the ability to see our character (in time)!

Sprint 1 Thread:
Every game project starts with the documentation, but if I showed it to you, that would spoil everything we have planned! I'm glad to have written it up early with @perpetualpilot.bsky.social and @sonyasambhu.bsky.social, but for now I'm just going to drip-feed what we have so far.
