Today I started making the projectile. In fact as I couldn't think of anything much different just following the same style.

Today I kept doing the cube. After losing almost 2.5 days doing this cube I could reach a satisfactory result and learned a a bit of photoshop. So worth it.

Yesterday I had already finished the texture and just did not like the lighting, I was using the shader self-…

Day 27
Mirrored from my blog (en, pt-br).

Today I started fixing a logic error in the winning script. The fix was simple and quick.

As I now have the mechanics working (minus the bugs that I did not find) I decided to start to refine the graph, leaving it the way I want, and leave the level design further f…

Day 26
Mirrored from my blog (en, pt-br).

Today I started refactoring the internal mechanics of winning leaving it much more flexible than it was before. Now when I do the level design will be much easier.

In the winning script I ended up using the singleton (design pattern [or !design pattern]). The single…

Day 25

Today I started fixing the bug of the rayCast of yesterday, it was taking in the triggers of the stands causing the crosshair misaligns up with the projectile. I added the layerMask and passed as argument to the rayCast to ignore the triggers, it was pretty easy to…

Today I started making a change in the look of sync, as I want to focus on the mechanics at the time I did everything a chess texture. I was pleased, because became standardized and acceptable.

Day 21
Mirrored from my blog (en, pt-br).

The day 21 was basically a copy of the previous day. What I had in mind to model the gun didn't work, so I ended up spending more time than I should again. In the end I ended up not liking the result, but I'll use it to prototype.

I thought this weekend (20 and 21) …

Day 20

Today I spent the whole day modeling and thinking about how will be the gun of the prototype of the game that I haven't discussed here yet. In the end I did not get to any model that satisfied me, but it was worth because I ended up practicing.
