Weekly game update 4


This week, my side scrolling script was fixed which was a problem that I have been trying to fix for a while. Feedback said the plane might be a bit hard to see in the background before the plane goes off screen and you die. Other changes this week is that I attempted to make a score UI in one of the top corners but it kept getting stuck behind the background, as shown in this image of the game screen, 

Another new change to the environment of the game is the addition of background music, which is DK Island Swing from Donkey Kong Country which I got from VGMusic.com - Super Nintendo Music. I had a few ideas for which background music to choose but I eventually decided on donkey kong country over music from Mega Man X or other tracks from SNES games because it sounded funky, and I did not want a boring game with no sound, so I chose something good. I also made a few new tags for game objects and prefabs that did not have the right tags and needed them or no tags at all. 

I got a death animation gif with the plane assets from Free War Game Kit by Mobile Game Graphics (itch.io) which was referenced last update so I tried to connect it to the explosion prefab which has been sitting with a placeholder explosion for a short time, but I also found that there are individual frames for the player death animation so I can use them to make the animation work. (Explosion gif below) 

The last 2 big things that need to be fixed is the invisible bullets issue and making them register when hitting an enemy, and the other is making the end of the level or making it infinite or as far as you can go until you die. The main menu also needs to be added but that is the last thing because the 2 previously mentioned things are more important. 

Another thing that is not really on the list but kind of is, is a name change since I said that in the first update and my game has changed since then so that might happen in the last update before full release. I am still thinking about it so I do not know if it will happen or not because this game is definitely past halfway completed and i am narrowing down on the big issues that needed fixing before release, so it is an actual working game.
