OVERVIEW

The long awaited release of Traveller’s Caravan is finally here! Ting and I have been working hard to get the game to completion and with the help of Trent and Danny we’ve finally gotten to the point where we are happy to release it to the public!

The last two weeks have seen loads of changes and updated to Traveller’s Caravan so lets jump in and talk about what we’ve been up to.

ART

Ting and I have been working very hard to get as much art into the project as possible. We have added the final textures for all the game pieces as well as some textures for the caravan model.

We have also updated the UI with some more sprites and Ting has worked on a really cool animation for our menus.

As well as this, there has been an update to the way time is tracked in game and have moved for a more diegetic option with an hourglass. I quickly drew up a design and Ting was able to bring it to life. I've also made some basic textures for this as well. Trent managed to scout out a very cool unity package that handles liquid simulation and we’ve used this to make the hourglass empty/refill!

The scene hasn’t seen many changes however Ting worked some new camera animations to get a better look at the setting of Traveller’s Caravan as you navigate through the menus.

Finally we have added one new feature, a credits menu! As we have used a few unity assets as well as some royalty free music we decided to create a credits menu to give our thanks to those who helped shape Traveller’s Caravan.

PROGRAMMING

Trent has been extremely helpful to the programming of Traveller’s Caravan, without him we’d only have some models floating in space and not much of a game. Over the last two weeks Trent has helped add some fun little things to our game like dialogue for the Traveller and some camera effects to help set the mood of the game. And thanks to Trent we were also able to get our new diegetic timer working!

Trent’s also helped with the most important part of making a game; BUG FIXES! We’ve had a few bugs pop up here and there and Trent has been great at squashing them for us.

AUDIO

All sounds for Traveller’s Caravan are working as intended! The music transition between Main Menu and Gameplay are working as intended and we’ve got all our sound hooked up for match/mismatch, win/loss as well as sounds for opening boxes, button clicks and more!

All this can be adjusted with our awesome settings menu built by Ting and Trent.

CURRENTLY

As it stands we are ready to release Traveller’s Caravan for you all to play our little game!

FUTURE

There is potential for us to come back to Traveller’s and put a little more work in; However, right now we are happy with where we are at so for now enjoy the game!
