[FINAL] - Where to find our game

Hello future builders, we're 3 programmer-artists that make up the Seismic Octopus team:

Mitchell Koch - lead programmer, game tester, researcher
Priscilla Lo - project manager, sound design, lead 2D artist, programmer, documentation
Maxime Vincent - lead 3D artist, lighting designer, game tester

We finished this course in May 2020 with a final release of Build-a-Furniture available on GitHub:
https://github.com/Areizza/Build-a-Furniture

Although this semester was full of hardships and unprecedented times near the end, we got through it together and are proud to present our simple web-VR game.

Check it out and let us know what you think! :)

Controllers and Game-state Management

The two issues I worked on this past week were getting game-pad controllers working with our project (~6 hours), and general work on the game-state systems to iron out some of the kinks and add some more functionality (~3-4 hours). Unfortunately neither of these tasks proved 100% successful due to some set backs. The game-pad controllers are so close to working, movement and look controls are fully functional, but I cannot get the Super Hands components to pick up the button events from aframe-extras. The easiest way to see this is by looking at some code:  <a -entity id= "rig" movement-controls position= "0 0 0" > <a -entity id= "camera" camera wasd-controls= "acceleration: 125" look-controls= "pointerLockEnabled:true" position= "0 1.6 0" capture-mouse st...

Sprint 4 - Alpha Presentation and Furniture

This week, the team presented our proposal for our project as well as demonstrated the alpha build. In its current state, the living room and warehouse environments are at their most primitive states and will be developed further over time. In future plans, I will have to redesign the living room to allocate more space to the user. It's currently too small and claustrophobic, which makes it difficult for a VR user to have enough building space. I spent the days prior to the presentation polishing the design comps then producing OBJ files of the environments to insert into A-Frame. I did this by going back and forth between a-frame and Maya and resizing the scene until it was the ideal size. This way, Mitchell is able to simply drag and drop the obj into the project without having to tweak the transformations (~5hrs).

Sprint 2 - 3D Modelling the Environments

This week's focus has mainly been on writing the design document and preparing for the alpha prototype (~2hrs). A great majority of the written sections in our proposal is complete while a large chunk of graphics remains to be developed in the coming week. The sooner the design document is complete, the better of an idea we have in how the project will turn out in the end. On my end, I am responsible for 3D modelling the environments that will be used in the alpha demo. These are also necessary for producing design comps. The environments will be very low poly environments using primitive shapes and basic forms to form the rooms, nothing too extravagant. Below are a few screenshots of the environments in their current state: Living Room (~3hrs) that will be played in VR and the Warehouse (~4hrs) on desktop; all modelled in Maya.
