Bears of Boop, Bears of BETA!

Ticking off a milestone never felt so good. The buggy little creation that Bears of Boop was 2 weeks ago is no more. 

I mean, sure, there’s still HEAPS of bugs but let’s not talk about those right now. 

Instead...

Added in a Start Menu that works with a controller.

Teleporters are fixed to now be more cohesive...a.k.a...colour coded.

A lot of the feedback recently has been asking what the ‘yellow trigger boxes’ do so...

Speed Pickups now have pretty decals on them, to help players know to use them and not fear them.

And Players now have health bars to help with slow-moving shooting and knowing whether you’re hitting the other person or not.

Along with bug fixes (so many bug fixes), and mechanics-refining, there was also a rather game changing switch from physics-based movement to simply using transform.Translate. 

The Bears are in a good place. A friendly, safe place. (For now).

Gold Milestone next week!

Prototype Progress

Working on the personal project for the Prototyping Module. “Bears of Boop” is an action PvP, arena-based party game. You build up speed and using the relative force send the other player flying off the map.

Here is Capsule-Thing demonstrating the key-door mechanic that was ultimately scrapped to keep a fast game flow. But also the basis of the speed mechanic is working.

Did I mention that you play as a bear holding an oversized fit-ball. Stay tuned for more.
