GUI and a long week

What Got Done

  • First pass of the GUI implementation and functionality.  Most of my time this week was spent creating the NGUI elements in Unity and then adding functionality.  Right now we've got a new in game HUD, new main menu, a server browser for connecting to games (along with the connect by IP functionality), a lobby where players can get set their team, color and gygan, and game options for the host.  The map editor also got a minor update so you can now set the max number of players for a map and the number of supported teams. (34 hours, yes this took a really long time)
  • All units and towers now have health bars.  Towers also have a little number above them to show how many waves until they unearth. (3 hours)
  • Bug fixes, as usual.  (3 hours)



What's Next

  • More bug fixes.  The Google analytics tracking is proving to be really useful, so I will continue to fix bugs after playtests.
  • I recently tried an 8 player game just to see how it would work.  The results were better than expected, but there is still quite a bit of work to do before the game is ready for 8 players.  This isn't really a pressing matter for now, but it is something that I will be exploring.
  • More work on the GUI.  A lot of the core functionality is in, but there is still a lot to do.
