Weekly Development Log #5 (Jose Gonzalez)


Hey you guys ! Welcome back ! 

I’m Jose Gonzalez and I’m here once more to give you an update on the video game DeadShot!. This week will be the alpha build of the game. Please know that many things that are shown are subject to change over time. 

Goals for the team this past week:

  • We discussed how the overall level design should be. This was a bit tricky because we didn’t want it to feel too linear in terms of verticality and we wanted each platform to make a bit more sense.
  • Fixing the camera was another important aspect this week. 
  • Prepping for the alpha demonstration of our game.
  • Getting the overall mechanics of our game to function properly. 

Which of these Goals have been accomplished by the team? 

  • The level design is complete. Again, things may be subject to change as time goes on. So it may end up being different in the final build.
  • I implemented a proper health bar system with the health behavior enabled. However, it doesn’t go down just yet as we are still currently working on enemies and their behavior. 
  • The alpha build of the camera is now fixed.

What are the team's goals for next week?

  • Begin to import some sounds and aesthetics to our game. 
  • Work even more on enemy behaviors so they can start to attack the player a lot more. 
  • Implementing the core mechanics of the health for both the player and the enemies. 

What have you accomplished this past week?

  • I reworked the health system and messed around with its variables to ensure it works properly this time. 
  • It is no longer a static image. 
  • I helped Alex with plenty of feedback when it came to the camera fix.

What will you accomplish by next week?

  • Work even more on the enemy behavior and the boss fight at the end of the level. 
  • Make sure that the health for the player and enemies are working properly. 
  • Importing sounds and other assets into our game.

What will you need to learn to accomplish these goals?

  • I need to learn more about how the city can really tie into the gameplay of DeadShot! since that is our theme of the game. 
  • As well as learning more about how the health system works. 

Get DeadShot!
