Terranova

!! We can't verify that the mac version works so please someone on a windows computer mark. Also the game requires a mouse!!

Xavier Murphy (1172716)- game designer and programmer

I put the game together and programmed everything. I also designed the games with help from the group, although with limited time we tried to keep everything simple.

The match 3 game is based on candy crush mainly. I'd hoped to add interesting power ups like being able to move all pieces of a certain type at the same time, but had to cut back to finish the project on time. this is more of a tutorial anyway with game concepts introduced one at a time so I think it makes sense the games are only  their most core elements.

The flight game was an original idea. I wanted to use a top down perspective with semi-realistic physics while you dodge enemies and push them around with your thrusters. The thruster idea was interesting but too complex for such a short time so we cut it. To simplify enemy spawning I used a game Jason showed me called 'Geometry Wars 2' as reference.

I used godot tutorials on youtube as reference. The match 3 game is very similar to a tutorial series by 'MisterTaftCreates' while the rest were more as specific code reference.

Yan Hei Hui (1347391) - Artist and writer

I drew the in-game sprites as well as some sprites for cut scenes. Additionally, I was responsible for the cutscene draft and the story draft. I also helped a little with some of the cutscenes.

Daniel Iskander (1452807) - Canva animator

I did most of the cutscenes including the animations and the sound effects. I also contributed to some of the dialogue and story. All the cutscenes and animations were done on canvas. 

Goutham Peddireddy (1463123) - Story and Dialogue

I helped out with the animations and effects. I contributed significantly to the  game design and story, how the world and characters would interact with each other and the mechanics of the game. 

Henry Zhang  (1452729) - Editor 

I completed the editing and splicing of cutscenes to implement into the game, which included cutting audio in time with scenes. I also helped out with the dialogue and character interaction.

Jason Taylor (1253511) Sound design 

I was responsible for curating and creating the auditory experience of the game. I selected ambient noises, character dialogue tones, and orchestrated the game's musical score. My role ensured that the sound complimented and enhanced the game's overall atmosphere and immersion.
