MAJOR RELEASE 0.0.5
After another wave of playtesting and hearing feedback from a few players, I've prioritized making improvements in areas that are immediately apparent. The inverse hull outline was not correctly aligned to its model which didn't look right. Players were also expecting to have a match as opposed to a sandbox that with no time limit. There also seems to be a demand for better sound effects to immerse players into the hockey experience.
Here's how we addressed the feedback and changed the game:
- Technical Art: The inverse hull outline shader has been fixed. Position vector was in world space while normal was in object, both now in object space.
- Match Logic: The match manager handles match transition logic within the gameplay. Starts with a warm up, then during the rearrange state the pieces are moved back to face off positions with user systems disabled. The face off state counts down, drops the puck, enables user systems then switches to live state. Live state counts down the game time and runs goal triggers. There is also logic for handling overtime sudden death and the ending screen.
- Cinematics: Live cameras have logic to smoothly follow the puck in broadcast view. There are 2 sets of cameras to handle the switching of sides between periods. Close up camera for the face off, wide shot for free roam time, and live cameras for gameplay. Cinemachine uses match manager states to switch cameras. Cinemachine transition logic also set up.
- Sound Design: wide range of new sfx have been added. Skating, End of Period Buzzer, Referee whistle, and more.
