Sprint 3 Review

The game is actually getting somewhere!

Assets are being put in, the game has gun models, enemy models and bosses are in the game. They still have 0 animations, but hopefully we’ll manage to get some before the actual hand in. The bosses are fun and have different interesting mechanics, and fighting them with the dash mechanic feels great.

Below is the final upgrade list:

I also wrote the names for all the weapons, and gave them a back story, which was later used in the manual. Other than that a lot of my work has been playtesting and discussing with the programmers and designer what needed to be done on the game and how we’re going to do it.
