Activity: 

- Continuing the work

Notes:

Finally done the 1PD. I am aware that one would usually make a design and then implement the game, but, well, here we are. 

Regarding the actual gameplay, I made the level and almost everything works fine. The game itself is playable but there are some behaviors that I need to try and fix. And also implement the UI which I barely started.

There was one problem regarding the player getting stuck mid-air. Firstly I noticed it while making portals. Nevertheless, while I was scripting the camera's behavior, it got fixed.

Currently, the biggest issue is that Evil Ricks glitch at random times for an unknown reason and the fact that I can't seem to prevent the camera from following the player when they are close to the border walls. I spend around 2h yesterday trying to make this work since sometimes it would be okay, but then the offset would start behaving weirdly and not all values would be satisfactory for all walls. 

Besides that, I should maybe tweak the positions of the platforms in order to make the gameplay go smoother.

All in all, as always, I wish I started earlier since it is very draining to work on this for hours on end.

At the moment, I am not submitting any files since I find it easier to journal rather than zipping a half-working game and uploading it. Once everything is done I will put everything at once.

Invested hours: 

A lot

Outcome:

1PD, most of the gameplay
