New Enemy/Enemy Behavior Updates - 3 Hours
Combo Slider - .5 Hours
Enemy Piercing Speed updates - 1 Hour
Race To The Finish Mission Objective - 1 Hour
Random Bug Fixes / Tweaks - 1 Hour

 New Enemy
A new enemy was added. This enemy has a blade that always spins, and then speeds up when the enemy gets near. It also slowly rotates towards the player, meaning the player must approach from above or below, and then fly through the center at the right moment.


Combo Slider
A slider was added that corresponds to the current combo title. This really helps convey how much time you have left to continue your combo.


Enemy Piercing Speed Updates
The enemies were updated so that if they were not hit with enough speed, the player will bounce off. This required some reworking to the way enemies and bouncing had worked before.

 Race to the Finish Mission Objective
I added functionality for the race to the finish objective. This requires the player to speed through a number of specified checkpoint triggers sequentially.

Team Notes
I would have liked a bit more artwork to get in the game but overall the new level looks good and hopefully we will be able to polish it up well for the final build.

Upcoming
I need to update the new enemies to move around an area, which I will likely do by having them follow a spline. From there it is all just polish and art implentation.

Bug Fixes/ Random Tweaks and Testing/Polish - 3 Hours Code Refactoring - 1 Hour Post Processing - 2 Hours Rumble Implementation - 2 Hours Overview I think artistically and game feel wise this week was very productive. This was thanks to the menus being filled out with 2d art and the implementation of Unity's Post Processing as well as the Beautify, another processing solution. Additionally rumble was added which adds a lot of impact to the collisions in the game, as well as allows the player to feel in heat increase better. Bug Fixes Tons of minor bugs were fixed and time was spent tweaking values. Not all of these are worth mentioning but I'll list the biggest ones: Fixed a issue where the player would rotate inappropriately after colliding with an object, causing the player controls to become inaccurate. Fixed issues where the prefabs were not consistent between scenes and not being saved properly. Fixed an issue where pausing the gam...

Rex Christian Personal Postmortem

Personal Postmortem Things that went right: 1:  Group member roles and workloads were typically very well defined and separated. We had very few issues with overlapping or conflicting work. 2: We communicated pretty effectively and easily contacted each other when we needed help or coordination while adding to the game. 3: We all mostly agreed on our vision for the game, and never really had any arguments or disputes regarding how the game should play or look. Things that went wrong: 1: Most of our work happened 1-2 days before the due date, and sometimes we'd even be patching bugs and getting things working mere minutes before class started. 2: Though we met on most weekends, we only planned our work during those meetings. We actually DID the work separately, only to meet right before class and compile it all at the last minute. 3: Sometimes features that were largely complete wouldn't make it in the week that we'd made them because we'd encounter a bug or ...
