Small Polishing and bug fixes - Score Text Pop up and more
This weekend proved to be a very useful time for me to work on fixing small bugs and polishing up on some aspects of the game. I know that I want to do more, but at least I took time to address some feedback to make the play experience a bit better.
The following changes are made from the previous version 01_4_10, which this version 01_4_2 addresses several problems in terms of playability and visual feedback. They include the following:
- Opponents will only wander when all players are spawning or inactive.
- Small fry colors now match on opponents consistently when hit.
- Collision areas fixed on fish so there is no more multi-hit behavior glitches.
- Now fish will only spawn in clams that are not occupied by any moving entities, including spawning fish.
- Opponent small fry time duration increased from 5-10 seconds
- Score text popup now appears when player hits opponents successfully
- Opponent score decay in effect for multiple regrows from small fries
- Small fry "eating" bonus multiplier added to players, but only when opponents are turned to small fries for the first time.
While there are some glitches going on every now and then, It's shaping up to be better in a more mechanical sense. Now I got to focus on implementing the opponent rank system, which should cater to beginners and experts.
To get a glimpse of some changes in action, you can watch the video below, or better yet, download the latest version of the game and test it out. I appreciate any feedback posted on my discord server.
