What went right?

What went wrong?

  1. My main mechanic the grapple came to fruition and was implemented in the game with little drawback..

  2. The level design of a closed in arena with tile based movement was fresh for me and I was able to give it story and a fun aesthetic. 

  3. Created my grappling hook using Maya and utilized it by using an actor sequence component.

  4. Create SFX and used Epic SFX for Howitzers voiceover..

  5. Made a blueprint actor collectable that was needed to open paths for advancement in the game.

  1.  In the beginning the research did not come easy. It took countless hours and many failed attempts before I produced a solid mechanic. 

  2.  I had to move on from my initial mechanic (the teleporter) because it did not fit what I wanted as a primary mechanic. This changed the way I was to move throughout the level..

  3. Working on the grapple mechanic I was unable to use anything but hard code for the function which is not good for clarity of code.

  4. I found myself diverting to more research than expected where more time was taken from actual level design.

  5. Animating the grapple not only took sixty percent of my time but it also did not come out how I had planned.
