PREPRODUCTION
While in the early stages of development, we worked on paper prototypes, documentation, and research to pave a road map for future development.
AR TOOLS
AR expands the limitations of an escape room. Being able to carry unlimited items, color changing torches, cards with hidden messages that appear when placed in flames, and an oracle lens that shows hidden messages and objects are some of the mechanics we worked on to showcase this.
LEADERSHIP
I was the Project Lead for this game in the UAT Game Production Studio for the Fall 2019 semester. Responsibilities included managing stand ups, over seeing the repository, recording the OPPMs, and making final decisions on the project direction and priorities.
TEAM COMMUNICATION
VISUAL REPRESENTATION
For the clock puzzle, the pendulum has to check if both weights are raised before it's able to swing. To explain to a programmer the difference between using OnTriggerEnter() vs OnTriggerExit() to acomplish this, I drew a visual representation on paper. The top shows how it could be done with OnTriggerExit(). If the weights are in the trigger box, then the weights are not raised and the boolean is set to false. This leads to the problem that the weights would be true if they are raised, or lowered below the trigger. The bottom shows that the weights would be false if they are outside of the trigger. If the weights start below the trigger, then the only way they would be true is if they were raised, making that the better option.
