Dump Zone Demo Video!


       
So its taken a fair few weeks since I showed a video for the Pinball Warrior mode, but I finally have something to show for Dump Zone! I felt the mode was polished enough to show off with all the new things I've added which include:
  • New Robots! (Apollo, Behemoth)
  • Weapon Physics! (Flippers and Spinners etc)
  • New Arena! (Series 3 inspired)
  • New Mode! (Dump Zone)
  • Updated UI! (WIP, coming soon)
  • Multiple Cameras!
  • Updates to robot handling (Added in 'Tank Steering' functionality)
Adding in physics that felt, looked and handled correctly was a challenge for me as I've never programmed them before and will more than likely have to keep tweaking them as development continues. There are also a few inconsistencies with the flipper animations which I will revisit and fix at a later date, for now they are all functional which is what matters. I also want to add more audio! The only music and sound effects in the game are the background music and the sound effects of grinders, sirens, announcer etc. I'm going to try and implement noises for the bots themselves, for when their weapon is activated and more.

My next task is to re work the placeholder UI I had for the old build and make it so you can select what game mode and what robot you want to play as in a user friendly manner. This will include writing more code, as well as creating more visual UI elements.
