Introduction

This milestone was focused on implementing the core elements of the game. The execution of this tasks brought major gameplay changes which basically consists of:

• Changing direction of the ship: The navigator can interact with the rudder and move the ship up and down. The sea has tree lanes where the rocks can spawn so a crewmate on the mast has to inform the navigator from which lane the rocks are coming.
  
• Repairing the ship: If the navigator fails to evade the rocks, the ship will break down. But it can be repaired by the tripulation! Take some wooden planks from a box and go repair the inside of the ship before you sink ;)

Aditionally, we added some things that are going to be incorporated to the gameplay mechanics soon™.  More info on these can be found in the previous devlog (shark attack)

Progress made since the last Devlog:

• Added water to the inside of the ship when the ship is sinking

• Holes in the ship can be repaired with the wooden planks now
• Defeat condition stablished (A significant amount of water entered the ship)
• Lose window added

• Victory condition stablished (The players survived certain amount of time)
• Victory window added

• Rocks, wooden planks and wooden planks box assets added
  

• Character "Holding something" animation added

• Implementing cannon manipulation

Current work:

• Music! 🎶
• Putting tag names at the top of the characters (to identify each player)
• Adding UI to look at the pending tasks in the boat
• Implementing Shark damage to the ship
• Interaction with the shark

Extra:

Yesterday, we had a testing experience with real players who provided us with valuable feedback!  As a result, we are planning to:

• Make the ship movement more continuous
• Add instructions or tutorials
• Make rocks easier to evade
• Change details in the UI
• Add animations/pop up/sound when the ship collide with objects
