Hi All,
in the last batch of work, finally I got to implementation of 'level building' elements or 'prefabs'. In previous showcases things were a bit hardcoded. E.g. when pressed specific button, moved specific piece of wall from here to there with special piece of code. This is of course not suitable for further development.
For building levels, I need functional prefabs, so I can just place them in editor and things will automatically work. E.g. place switch here, door there, link them, so in game by pressing switch, linked door will automatically open/close. Same for operating lights, elevators, etc..
In this batch I started with some basic stuff:
- doors
- switches which can now operate doors or lights (or any element that will implement IToggleable interface, programmatically speaking )
- switches can be 2-states (on/off) for IToggleable elements or 1-state (one time actions)
- elevator
In following short animations, there's one level with doors and switches. I just walk around, not spoiling solution (even if this is easier level). Another level is showcase of 'color mixing' puzzle (this is very easy one, almost tutorial, so I can spoil I think).
RTG aka The-Ray Traced Game v0.1.3 - First 'level building' elements (prefabs)
Next up
RTG Flashback - March '21 #3 One of the first levels with elevators. Here, you can see, that thx to my ray-tracing algorithm, every tiny light in the game is actual emitter which illuminates its environment and cast shadows. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - Abril 2021 #2 Un nivel de RTG, mi juego puzzle/plataforma sci-fi. Este es nivel con bloques que se pueden recoger y manipular. Estos bloques están presentes en mayoría de niveles con aún más mecánicas puzzle. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - April 2021 Test level for testing my collision system. Game mechanics where player needs to manipulate with boxes in order to solve puzzles is essential in RTG, thus simple collision system was needed. Here it is. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
Development Flashback - May 2020 This is another animation from the beginning of development (more about it in the article). Now, after 5 years of development, RTG, a sci-fi puzzle/platformer is available for wishlists. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
Development Flashback - April 2020 Animation from the very start of RTG development (more in the article). After 5 years, RTG is available for wishlists on Steam.

RTG Flashback - Marzo 21 #2 Otra animación de los primeros niveles de RTG, mi juego puzzle/plataforma sci-fi con CPU ray-tracing. Aquí se puede ver un poco de reflexión en el suelo con luces en fondo proyectando sombras. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - Marzo 2021 Después de 11 meses de desarrollo finalmente tenía todo preparado para hacer primeros niveles. Todavía sin sonidos, sin música, sin relato, pero lo más importante: gameplay y puzzles, ya fue posible. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - April 2021 #2 Level from my sci-fi puzzle/platformer, involving use of "carriable boxes", a puzzle mechanics which is used extensively in the game, along with more game mechanics which will be presented later. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG - The Ray-Traced Game, sci-fi puzzle platformer which I'm developing, reached Alpha state! It means, game fully playable from intro to ending credits. It's a big milestone, but now, rolling up sleeves for Beta! Music: https://www.purple-planet.com/
RTG Flashback - March '21 #2 Another animation from the first batch of levels for RTG, my sci-fi puzzle/platformer with CPU-only ray-tracing. There's a bit of reflection on the bottom floor with back lights casting shadows. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
