Created win/lose conditions, with the win condition shown in the gif above, which then takes the user back to the menu. The lose condition triggers when the timer runs to 0, and then boots the user back to the menu again.

A gif showing the character not clipping through walls anymore, yet can still exit through tiny gaps between walls. I’ll aim to fix this using boundaries (transparent cubes with box colliders on them)

Some concepts for UI icons that’ll display the item that the player has equipped, images in the middle will be replaced with the actual model when I get around to creating them or finding a suitable match in the asset store. The battery logo on the energy gun will deplete over time when used, and gives the viewer a chance to charge it up again. I may implement a timer next to the battery symbol, so that the player can see how much time they have left with the item.

Project development - 03/03/18

Today, I made a mockup scene of how I would like the main scenery/house to look. I also added a player model and managed to make it move, but without rigidbody. This is proving to be difficult as it means I’ll have to work on setting collision detection manually. 

This is how it looks so far -

All of the visual assets used are from the Unity store, as shown below:

To make my player move, I had to use the transform.Translate function, as my player character doesn’t have any rigidbody attached to it. This is the code for my character movement:
