ShipHappens

Paddling mechanics, floating boats, multiplayer integration, and the road to demo day. A game made for KTH's DH2650 Computer Game Design course.

Demo day push

Demo day. Fixed the boat parameters that only broke with several players in, then presented. People laughed, Jonas from Embark gave feedback.

Getting the demo ready

Merging everyone's branches for tomorrow's demo. Unity prefabs and git are not friends.

Paddle paddle paddle

Paddling is driven by where the blade is now, not which mouse button you clicked. Also fixed players sliding off the deck.

Held paddle and other object

The paddle sits in the hand now instead of floating in front of the player, and it no longer lags a frame behind.

Paddle floating

The paddle floats now. Drop it in the water and you can go get it back.

Convex hull for buoyancy

Yesterday's cleaned-up boat mesh was not a convex hull. Made one in Blender.

Physics-based buoyancy

Replacing the 4-point float system with mesh-based buoyancy. Tried Archimedes' volume first, settled on hydrostatic pressure.

Boat balancing

Adding player-weight-based boat tipping using buoyancy points and a trigger collider.

First presentation, business case and USPs

Arms smuggling penguins, friendslop fun :)

Building this website

How I procrastinated on my actual work by building a whole website, featuring a 3D glass cube I definitely spent too long on.
