Guildford Games Festival

The Guildford Games Festival was a great chance to network with games industry people (potential employers, Please Hire Me !!!).  It also allowed me to get an insight into what people enjoyed about the game. I got an overwhelming feeling  that people really liked flying the drone around and that it should be used for more than just transport between the challenges/ mini games.

Other than that the game is coming along pretty well and I've created a couple more mini games as you can see below. That's all I've got for this admittedly short blog post 

Dev Blog 1: Populating a Looping Spline Track

While working on a challenge for my upcoming game U Complete Me I was faced with the challenge of procedurally generating unique forest race tracks for racing drones. At face value It seemed rather complex but its actually Incredibly simple. I downloaded Surge  from the Unity asset store and created a looping spline with 8 points arranged roughly in a circle. Through code I scale and rotate these spline points by a seeded random amount creating a unique path. The next thing I did was spawn obstacles along the path for the player to avoid. I did this by moving a empty game object along the spline in increments, each increment I move it to the left or right by a clamped random amount and ray-cast downwards to get a point on the ground. I then instantiate a new obstacle at that point. I repeat this a specific amount based off the approximate length of the spline. The resulting track looks good but needed something to define the edges. The edging stones were place
