About

Black Laser
by Kial Irvin and James Black

This was our first game we have done together for My First Game Jam Summer 2020.
https://itch.io/jam/my-first-game-jam-summer-2020

Black Laser is based on an unpublished comic that Kial made awhile back that has the same name.

Objective:

Calvin Black (that's you) was sent to Chernobyl to recover a purple crystal deep in one of the silos of a defunct Black Laser Research Facility.

NOTE: Use your Black Laser Rifle(BLR) to destroy obstacles that get in your way. But remember, the BLR can only melt through things if they are extremely well lit.

Post Mortem:

What we learned

  • How to utilize the tools given to us instead of being stubborn and doing things our own way. For example, using prefabs instead redoing work.
  • How to project manage. How not to overwhelm yourself with too many tasks at once and just take things one at a time.
  • What works in our mind doesn't always work in practice.
  • More familiar with the what the process is to finish a game, like implementing the end credits, end scenarios, etc.

What went right

  • The gradual increase in puzzle design
  • The look and feel of the Black Laser Device and pistol
  • Good communication between us to keep the flow of the project steady

What went wrong

  • We wanted an enemy to use the pistol on
  • Lack of textures in the main facility
  • We wanted proper feedback on if objects are breaking or not by the laser. The perfect solution would be voxels but we thought the scope of that would be too much
