Day 16

My progress has been a lot slower than I had hoped... I took the long weekend off and have been procrastinating.

What I’ve accomplished in 6 days (not good...)

-Added gender and exchange icons to the animal information page

-I streamlined how each animal get’s their click and second bonus data. Before It would just add and save to prefs when you would level up. The problem with that, was the number was hard coded and if I changed any of the click or second numbers, it wouldn’t get translated to the current animals you have.

Now at start, it will do a loop to save all click and second values per level and then do another loop to get the current level of each animal, and apply those values to their prefs. This is going to help me out a lot, especially when I want to do upgrading from the main screen. Now, I just need to do a loop to compare the current points I have with the cost of the next levels.

Here’s my beautiful Playmaker state machine .. I’m very proud of myself :P

Today I am going to force myself to get the upgrading on main screen done, and hopefully set up boosts. I’ll be going on my honeymoon this Saturday and will bring my laptop to work on it. The deadline for Indiecade submission is in 16 days!! Will I finish on time??

Day 10

5.24.2017

I’ve got rewarded prompst in! Right now it’s just free points and stars .. I have it show every 25-45 secs.. and choose between 1-3 stars or 10% of max points earned. Will definitely have to test and refine numbers. Next will need to add boosts that will enable Happy Time for up to 30 minutes for a specific animal. I’ll need to save the time if the user exits the game and then calculate how much points were accumulated when they were gone.

To Do

Super Fun Time! All animals will have their happy meter at 100% and every click you make will activate points/click for everyone! Also, there will be a special bonus % increase for points/sec and points/click.

My plan is to have Super Fun Time available every 5 or 10 minutes and be activated with a video ad/ stars.

You’ll also be able to permanently upgrade Super Fun Time’s bonus and duration in the premium upgrades.

Intro

Hello! I want to share with you my process of designing and developing a Unity/Playmaker game, but a quick intro about myself...

My name is Mendie Leelin Kovacs and I’ve been a gamer all my life. I thought it would be the perfect dream job to be a game developer and here I am, trying to follow and live that dream. I’ve worked for the indie studio, Free Range Games for two years and now I’m trying to start my own company- Fluffy Wiggle. I’ve released two games on my own already -HipstaFox and Celebrity Pets: Unleashed and had to teach myself a lot of new things (C#, Illustrator) as well as endure some hard learned mistakes (like how to make sure you have a backup of your project before wiping out computer .. bye bye all of Hipstafox..)

I really just want to create adorable fun games and cute characters people fall in love with. Hopefully this game will be the one to help me break out and actually make a living from doing the things I love.

I’ve made an idle clicker before based on the cryptocurrency Reddcoin, called Reddcoin: The Game but never fully completed it (sadly this project was also wiped out), and started on a clicker adventure called Tap Tap Games .

Kawaii Clicker was born after getting hooked on the super kawaii game - Happy Hop and trying to come up with a novel kawaii game idea of my own. After browsing on the appstore I noticed that clicker games were becoming much more popular, and since I already had experience developing them, so I thought a kawaii clicker game would be awesome!

Dev Log

Game Objective:

Tap the kawaii animals to raise their happy meter to 100%. Once they’ve achieved Happy Time, they earn bonus points per second and click. Earn more kawaii points to level up and unlock new animals. Level up your animals and see the different kawaii outfits that they can wear. Tap two animals together that like each other and earn bonuses! Throw Super Fun Time Parties to activate everyone’s Happy Time and activate all their click bonuses together! Win the game by unlocking all your animal’s full kawaii outfits and new animals and outfits will be unlocked when you restart.

Every game will be different and you’ll always have different kawaii combinations to share with your friends and family ^_^

Game so far:

Animals: Fox, Red Panda, Panda, Bear, Bunny, Dog, Cat, Squirrel, Monkey

Clothes: 4 standard sets for Boy and Girl and 1 special for reward

Game Mechanics:

Click to raise happy meter

Once meter is at 100% activate Happy Time

Happy Time will earn you bonus points/sec and bonus points/click

Once Happy Time is over, decrease happy meter every second
