Good evening fellow coders, this is my final devlog for Project Muniris! I added in all of the mechanics that I wanted to into this final portion of the game and it is finally ready to be shipped. To summarize what I did, I made a bite-size castle area where there is a HUGE enemy gauntlet, which contains a final climb to the top of the hourglass that has been tantalizing the player ever since they entered the game. Since the castle is so high up that you can see past the boundary walls, I added a dense fog at the bottom of the castle that respawns you if you fall just in case the player fails any of the challenges. I created one final enemy type, that being an RPG turret, which essentially can shoot tons of missiles that seek out the players. Additionally, the last gun, the sniper rifle, was a fun time to speed develop since I realized that the mouse sensitivity was WAY too high for the player to reliably shoot when the rifle was zoomed in all the way. Due to this observation, I tweaked the mouse sensitivity via scripting so that when the camera is not zoomed in, it has a greater mouse sensitivity than when it is. Furthermore, I finally added a bunch of musical/sound assets into the game! All of the bullets from enemy and player fire have sound effects added to them. Each area also has a unique track to it, making them stand out from one another. While each track may not be musical, I made sure to find a bunch of immersive sound effects to increase the player’s auditory connection with the game. All in all, it feels very bittersweet writing this devlog, as it is the capstone to one of my longest and most passionate projects ever. I’m really thankful to the Stardance team for creating this program, as the community it developed really helped motivate me along the way. Most of all, thank you to you guys as well! Reading your comments and seeing what other people are doing has been really fun the past couple of months. Best of luck everyone!
