Devlog 2

Welcome to the second development log for MiniMorph: Labs!

This development log is discussion about the progress made and the new additions created so far from last development log. In this development log, new assets have been created to the game, as well new gameplay features have been added. 

Assets

In addition to the tool gun and the cube assets displayed in the last development log, the lead asset creation artists, Jonathan has created the following assets have been made. 

A sliding door asset has been created.  These doors are transparent and contains glass for users to see through. The door asset is planned to be added into every level. In each level, the player will be loaded onto the starting area room and the puzzle, in the next room. This door will be triggerable by the player when the are near the door and will automatically slide open. In addition, this door will also be found at the end of the level in the state 'LOCKED'. To trigger opening the door, the player must complete the puzzle. On completion of the puzzle, the door will automatically open and the player will be able to navigate to the next level.

Feature

A new gameplay feature has been added to the game. In addition to changing the physical cube size, the player can now change the properties of the cube.

Bouncy:

The cube can be made bouncy by pressing the button B. Changing the cube property to bouncy will make cube bounce indefinitely. This is achieved by creating a bouncy physic material.

The bounce property is intended for the player to throw the cube into a trigger or a container not reachable by the player. Upon successful bouncing the cube into a trigger, an action can then be performed e.g opening a door. 

Float/Hovering

In addition to bouncy, the player can also change the property of the cube to be floating. The intended mechanic for the floating cube is to allow the user to traverse or lift themselves up to a higher platform which is not reachable by jumping.
