The Red Planet: Week 5 Updates

     The Red Planet is becoming an ACTUAL GAME! This week was an all out overhaul of creativity.  I found the terrain tool and fell in love.  It turned my okay levels into interactive and visually pleasing worlds.  Terrain tool allowed me to put the player right onto the red planet Mars.  And in each level the terrain can be accessed in the gameplay.  Also to help the player out, I added a new GUI to help explain the obkective of each level and how to play.

     In addition, I added a great tracklist to the game.  What everyone else in class forgot was the audio aspect of the game.  They all focused on the visuals.  But, to be fully immersed in a game, audio or music is necessary!  And the songs included in each level put you right into the space exploring and battle mentality.  From level one the music is so intense it adds the extra flare to the level that makes The Red Planet a legitimate web game.

The Red Planet: Week 4 Updates

     The Red Planet is really taking shape in the fourth week of course work.  I have enhanced the visuals of most levels by adding a skybox.  The skybox is very usual in providing the illusion the player is in the 3D world and in my case the vast area of space. these galactic skyboxes really help the setting of the game.

     

     Also, I added a fifth and final level in which the player uses the astronaut again to explore the 3D level made with TidyTileMaker. But, watch your step because one misstep could send our hurdling through space!  The player will use the astronaut to pickup the cubes as in the previous levels in attempt to finally beat the game.
