Summary:
Following the completion of the first iteration of "Diamond Hunter," a playtest was conducted to evaluate the current state of the game. The playtest focused on assessing the newly implemented features, including game mechanics, user interface, animations, and overall gameplay experience. Feedback was collected from team members, highlighting both positive aspects and areas for improvement. This report consolidates the feedback and outlines the key findings, providing valuable insights for future development.
1. Visual Experience:
Motion Blur During Walking: Feedback indicated that the character appears fuzzy when moving, possibly causing motion blur. This issue may be related to the character's animation or rendering settings.
Solution: Adjusting the animation speed or rendering settings may resolve this issue. Further investigation and fine-tuning will be required.
2. Character Control and Interaction:
Spamming Space Bar Issue: It was observed that spamming the space bar causes the character to fly off a block.
Solution: Implementing a cooldown or limiting the jump action may prevent this behavior, ensuring a more controlled player experience.
Movement Stopping Bug: A bug was reported where the character's movement stops suddenly while walking in the air.
Solution: This may be related to collision detection or character control logic. A thorough review of the related code and testing different scenarios will help identify the root cause.
Losing All Lives When Falling into Underground Gap: A critical bug was identified where the player loses all lives at once when jumping down a gap into the underground.
Solution: This issue may be related to collision detection or the logic handling player lives. A review of the related code and implementing proper checks and balances will be necessary to fix this issue.
3. Menu Navigation and Game Flow:
Black Screen After Dying and Restarting: Going to the main menu after dying three times and restarting leads to a black screen.
Solution: This could be a scene transition issue. Checking the scene loading logic and ensuring proper scene management will likely resolve this problem.
4. Audio Integration:
Missing AudioSource Error: An error was encountered related to a missing 'AudioSource' component on the "Main Camera" game object.
Solution: Adding an AudioSource component to the specified game object or modifying the script to check for the component before accessing it will fix this error.
5. Additional Observations:
Positive Feedback on New Features: The addition of checkpoints, treasure coins, enemy objects, scoring systems, and various animations were well-received, contributing to a more engaging and visually appealing game.
Suggestions for Improvement: Recommendations were made for further refining textures, enhancing user interface elements, and improving overall game flow and mechanics.
Conclusion:
The playtest of the first iteration of "Diamond Hunter" has provided valuable insights into the game's current state and potential areas for improvement. The feedback collected will guide the next phase of development, with a focus on addressing identified issues and enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Continued playtesting and iterative refinement will be essential in achieving a polished and enjoyable final product. The team's collaborative efforts and commitment to quality assurance will be key to the success of "Diamond Hunter."
