My Final Year Project #19

Restart? No Problem! Checkpoints!

This week I implemented the checkpoints and all of the necessary menus such as the main menu, death menu, pause menu, level 1 menu and an end game menu. Down below is a video displaying all of this (I set a hotkey so I can lose health for testing purposes) and you can see the prompt when the player also goes over a checkpoint.

With the reset button on death or on the pause menu, when a game resets, usually everything else does too. However in Till Kingdom Come, only the boss AI reset, the normal AI do not reset, this is to ensure that the level up system that I plan to implement cannot be exploited. On death or on reset, the player's health and stamina are reset and they are spawned at the latest checkpoint that they traversed over.

The logo was created by myself and I used Photoshop to create it. The main menu video was created in-game and edited with Premiere Pro and all of the other menus and text were created using Photoshop too. This week was pretty good, the game is now coming along! Next week I plan to add the XP and level up system which will be the last big mechanic before testing the game and doing the sounds etc. Thanks for tuning in this week, I will see you all next week!
