Introduction

Hello and welcome to another devlog for MAGNETS!, our magnetic sumo game! This week we've again been hard at work since this is one of our last production weeks.

Recap of our game idea: We're creating a local multiplayer sumo wrestling game. But here's the catch: all the players are magnets! The goal? Be the last magnet standing in the arena and claim victory! But watch out for bombs and bullets,  cause they might push you out first

BULLETS

Both stun and sticky bullets are now active in our game!

Since both bullets have 2 distinct effects we have decided to give the stun bullets a different appearance than the other bullets!

It glows of electricity and has bumps coming out of it. This way you'll be able to recognize which bullet is which type. 

THE ARENA IS ALIVE

The compass in the middle of our arena started rotating. It doesn't only rotate but it follows the magnetic fields of our players! This makes our arena a but more dynamic!

Not only that but the arena has filled itself with spectators! They will be cheering while you and your adversary battle it out during an epic game of magnet sumo!

New Challengers are approaching!

Player three and four have arrived! Although it's not yet possible to play with 4 players in-game. Their models and textures are done! 
We can't wait to have these little guys in the game!!

PLAYER FEEDBACK

Our game currently lacks some player feedback! So that is what we will be focussing on for the final weeks! Polishing everything we have made so far with some good ol' player feedback.

As for the particles here is what is waiting to be added! Cannon firing particles and Stun particles

We've also started gathering lots of sound effect to put into the game.  And last and not least we are creating an extra music track that will play during the sumo game itself!

End Screen

After making the main screen we were still missing an end screen! No more, these are the designs for the two different end screens depending on who wins!

These are not in the current version of the game yet, but we're hard at work implementing these end screens in to the game!

THE FUTURE

The final week of the production sprint has been started! 

After this week no new features can be added, since we will be going into a polish sprint! This means we only polish up all the features and mechanics that we have, instead of making any new ones!

We have 3 weeks left and we will give it our best shot!

As always, we have a stable build included with the devlog that you can have fun breaking. Feel free to leave feedback, comments or profess your love for all things magnetic. Whatever floats your boat.

Gooooby!
