Hello everyone ! Welcome back to DeadShot!. 

I’m Jose Gonzalez and I will be delivering the week six development of our game , DeadShot!.

Goals for the team this past week:

• Working on the enemy behaviors.
• Level design adjustments. 
• Enemy and item placements. 
• Meeting up more frequently and putting more hours into our meetings.

Which of these Goals have been accomplished by the team?

• Added enemy behavior. However, it still needs to be heavily worked on.
• Implementing a proper health mechanic for Agent Stickman. 
• Slight level tweaks and design. 
• A proper UI.

What are the team's goals for next week?

• Prepare ourselves for the beta of our game. 
• Listening to player feedback and taking notes on what needs to be worked on. 
• Meet more often to work together and communicate a lot more on this project. 

What have you accomplished this past week?

• I redrew the health bar for Agent Stickman and implemented it into our assets. As well as add the variables for it.
• I also drew the health bars for the enemies into the game. They’re color coded just for that aesthetic flavor. 
• I worked on the enemies’ path finding. They now move towards the player and shoot, but the movement still needs plenty of work. 

What will you accomplish by next week?

• Getting ready for the beta version of our build and seeing how it comes together.
• Importing a lot more art assets into our project. 
• Work on the enemy behavior and its health system. 
• Meet with my fellow teammates in order to work on our project together and share our ideas around. 
• Receiving more feedback from players. 

What will you need to learn to accomplish these goals? 

• I need to do some more research on the enemy health system. The videos I’ve been watching are unfortunately outdated, so I need to ask for some assistance in this area. 

Playtesting Report for this Week:

What were you playtesting? 

• I playtested the alpha build of our game to see if everything was working as intended. I mainly focused on health and seeing if it would go down when the enemies’ attacked the player. 

What did you want to learn through this playtest?

• The way the enemies move feels pretty buggy at the moment. I wanna try and make them consistent with their overall movement. 

Who were your playtesters? Do they represent your target audience?

• Our playtesters were fellow classmates. 

What did you observe? What did you see when they were playing? Did they interact the way you expected?

• I did spot some weird bugs in our game. We didn’t have any enemies move just yet and I watched some classmates play through our build of the level so far. 

 What questions did you ask your playtesters after they played the game?

• How does shooting feel?
• How does the movement feel?
• Do the platforms feel right?

What feedback did you receive from your players?

• The camera was a problem whenever the players moved left.
• The shooting was way too slow.
• The level design didn’t contain proper momentum. 
• Giving the enemies and players some health.
• Implement enemy behaviors.

What, if anything, will you do with that feedback? Did you learn anything?

• I will work on the enemy behaviors and make sure that they work as intended.
• Adjust the bullet speed to a proper level. 
• Make sure that the level design keeps that momentum going (using Sonic the Hedgehog levels as sort of a reference).
