10 Second Farm

"Every 10 Seconds" -  Ludum Dare 51 Entry.

General

• The Selection Phase is '10 seconds long!' - which was our inclusion of the theme!

 

Selection Phase - Click on animals, and then Click on a  building/truck:

1. Feed - Left Building - increases health.  Green Bar. Use early.
2. Breed - Middle Building - creates offspring, when Red Bar is high
3. Produce - Right Building - creates produce (i.e. eggs), use when Blue Bar is high
4. Sell - Right Truck - sells the animal; use when health (Green Bar) is high

Post-Mortem (things we were stoked on)

• Building a 3d game - most of our work has been in 2d
• World Space UI - Health Bars, Billboard UI, etc.
• Scriptable Objects - making event creation super slick
• Navmesh Agents - easy-mode AI
• Highlighting 3D Characters - using multiple mesh/materials
• Collaborating - using git, brainstorming, etc.
• Balance - hanging out, coding, but still going out for food, walks, etc.
• Building Skills - utilizing some core skills, but overall learning some new things!
