Hello everyone my name is Stephen Naraine and this is the official blog for our best go at creating a full fledged game through our Games Studio class at LIU Post. Today is our 1st Blog post and i'm gonna let you in on what we've accomplished so far in our game 'Chemical Trouble'. But first let me talk about what our game is, Chemical Trouble is a Top Down view, Shoot em' Up styled game utilizing touch controls on android mobile devices, the general gameplay will consist of moving left and right on the screen to shoot and/or dodge oncoming enemies, gain power ups that increase your attack power or shield you from damage. The main objective of the game is to gain the highest score through enemies destroyed, combos from multiple enemy kills without taking damage and time survived. Alright that was a nice intro to what our game is about so lets now dive into what we've got done so far.

          So for this week our two and only main coders currently, Jason Peterson and Nicholas Buscemi have laid the groundwork for our game by coding the mechanics that hopefully one day players come to enjoy playing. Heres a list of all the wonderful features they've cooked up in the past week.

​

   Nick:

• Created the prototype.

• Made the player and player movement.

• Made the bullets able to be changed between 3 colors.

• Made 5 power ups (Beam gun, machine gun, shield, shotgun and speed boost).

• Power ups move down the screen.

• Made the player constantly shoot.

   Jason:

• Figured out how to use touch controls.

• Learned how to debug mobile games through unity (without having to build every time).

• Altered Nick’s code to make movement based on touch.

• Changing bullet colors now works by swiping on a phone up or down to cycle.

• Working and tested prototype on 2 separate Android phones (with different resolutions).

• 1 Simple Enemy created.

          Well thats about the size of it for this week, please check back next Sunday and hopefully we should have another blog post packed with details on our progress.
