First Playable

After a long time of figuring out all the complicated ins and outs of Unity 3D, I have achieved my first playable. Although not a completed map/level design it has all of the main mechanics and components needed for my game to work. All I need to to do next is create a NavMesh for my enemies to follow. I will do this as soon as I figure out exactly what way I want my map to look like to make sure my enemies follow the right path. All skins plus textures are downloaded straight from the assets store in Unity. Each image below are all just screenshots from my game.

I have given up on the X-Ray Vision for now as it just isn't working for me. I will complete my game and see if I can add it in after, I don't want to spend too much time looking at something so complicated since I am only a beginner. Everything else has been okay so far, definitely times where I have had to re-watch a tutorial like 5 times because my brain stopped functioning. 

Here are some images of my game. 

Game Menu

This is the starting screen once you play my game. I added my name and student number above the brightness and volume scale when I was messing around with things and I thought it looked decent where I put it. 

Level

This is my level so far, it looks quite bare as I haven't added each route yet. I didn't want to rush through creating my paths as I don't want it to be a really straight forward system where you collect the key card and go straight to the exit. I will be able to work on this from now on since I added my main components to make the game work. I will add more cameras and laser grids as I figure out the map too. I am trying to figure out what I will put outside of the facility, I added a prop bus so far and I may add an interesting terrain like mountains or something that shows the map is in a top secret location. 

Hidden from LOS

The enemy will attack as soon as I enter its line of sight. It isn't moving since I haven't added my NavMesh yet so this is just an example of what it looks like to hide from your enemy. The line of sight is tricky so this was definitely interesting and at times frustrating to mess around with. 

Close up of Enemy

This is what the enemy looks like close up. As you can see, it has a weapon in its right hand. 

Death Animation

As you enter the enemies line of sight it starts shooting at you. It can miss the first shot usually but only if you are running from what I have tested. Here the enemy has found and shot the player. The player will go through a death animation and then the game will restart after a few seconds. I found the animations fun to mess around with. 

Terminal

This terminal is what turns off the first laser grid so you can collect the key card behind it. You may not be able to see it clearly through this image but it gives you a hint on what the code for the terminal is. The terminal is from the assets store and I thought it was really cool how I could go in and change the code you could enter and also change certain sounds the terminal makes whether you get the code right or wrong. 

So far I am really enjoying making my game. It's something I can definitely see myself doing in my own time just for fun. I think it would be cool just to mess around with your own ideas and not have to worry about deadlines so I will most likely keep messing around with Unity in my own time. I have always loved games so learning how to create on has been really cool so far.
