Description

In Light Up the Knight you play as the Fire Knight who has been ordered by the king of the realm to create fireworks for festivals. Push fireworks boxes to create a chain reaction and reach the final, red, fireworks box. Maneuver the fireworks boxes around non-destructible obstacles to set off fireworks boxes and destroy old crates.

Once the boxes are in place, the Fire Knight swings the Fire Sword to ignite fireworks and start the chain reaction. Then, the Knight sits back to watch the spectacle. The more boxes that are used, the better the results will be!

Retrospective

What I learned

  • Experiment new thing on project is not always a bad thing. I can learn a lot on failures.
  • It’s important to keep in mind who you are making the game for, target audience, Beta play testing was helpful.
  • More research on version control aspect of perforce.

What Went Wrong

  • If one package working did not satisfy me, I may look for other package rather than keep it and resetting multiple times.
  • Pixel perfect camera was not pixel perfect due to I didn’t notice the image dimension.
  • Underestimated the amount of work epics had. Some epics only have one or two task for that.

What Went Well

  • Tried new scripts and packages that I’ve never used before, and result goes not bad.
  • Autopath for the player that I implemented is satisfactory.
  • No major bugs in our game.
