First time ever, let’s do this!

Tools: Unity, Probuilder Plug-in, NGUI Plug-in, iTween, UltimateFPSCamera, Paint.net, SFX-R, 2D Toolkit.

So, I did it. Didn’t take the whole 48, more like a chilled 14. It’s called the pretentious apple, 3D maze puzzle game with a control mechanic that was new to me.

Hope you like it!

What went right:

• The controls, generally worked well once you got the hang of it.
• The idea generation/workflow went through many different iterations before I arrived at the final idea. The original concept was extremely different.
• Art, I use a total of 5 textures in the entire game (1 apple, 2 paper, 1 paper with mouse diagram,picnic table) and the results were pretty good.
• Knives, they were a fairly last minute addition and had a large impact on the enjoyability.

What went wrong:

• Level design was time consuming and prone to error.
• Some levels are still way too difficult.
• Physics in Unity aren’t as robust as I would’ve liked, some levels suffered due to this.
• Creating the rotating pieces was a surprisingly complex and cumbersome process, each piece has a carefully crafted triggerbox that encompasses every element, when elements overlap this was particularly challenging.
