Run, Panda, Run Game Devlog – Week 3

To see if my game would work on mobiles, I decided to concentrate on mobile deployment for this week.

The big problems that I encountered this week was the very slow loading times when changing between scenes and that frame rates differ from one device to another ( Samsung Galaxy S is around 30-35 fps but on Samsung Galaxy Tab the frame rates were halved ).  It’s a good thing that I encountered them early as it would guide my decisions for optimization in the future.

Here’s the devlog video for Week 3:

Here are the finished tasks in list form:

• Tested game to Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Tab
• Added mobile controls
• Mobile controls now work even in the Unity editor
• Sprinting gradually increases speed
• Sliding is now brought back
• Added a menu scene
• Fixed bug where two simultaneous touches affects the camera in a weird way
• Added picked up items GUI
• Picked up objects are respawned when the player dies
• Changed the camera position in reverse mode
• Added blob shadow projector
• Fixed bug where camera isn’t turning anymore after respawn

For next week I shall be reducing the polygons on my character models and work on a new background and obstacle models.
