Its All About the Little Things

Immunity Wars

This last week was spent on a huge variety of little things in preparation for our vertical slice playtest that was on Monday. Among the things I did are:

• Improve the UI by creating a UI color palette, rearranging UI elements, and adding new ones for things like skipping turns, restarting the game, selecting the next unit.

• Imported set up connected tile sets for blood & lymph vessels.

• Remade the main menu to match the current games color pallets and added background props.

• Fixed a variety of bugs of all sorts ranging from UI elements disappearing to certain abilities not working.

• Added new unit features like line of sight for abilities and health modifiers for things like damage resistance & invulnerability

• Added several more kinds of tooltips, like ones for unit special traits & in world AOE effects, and added icons to the existing tooltips.

• Improved auto panning so it would pan to the closest unit and also would pan to show when enemies would spawn.

• Improved spawning so that it could have VFX

• Reworked blood vessels so that their push direction is based off of a spline rather than tile rotation due to new blood vessels lacking directionality.

• Added VFX for blood vessels, lymph nodes & vessels, and cell mass tiles.

• Created a loading screen & scene manager
