Week 2 - Progress

Week 2 - RPG Rhythm - Progress

This week was spent mostly coding and trying to polish up my game. Since a rhythm game is something I have no experience at all with when it comes to coding, it was quite tough to figure things out even with tutorials. I came across a lot of things that I wanted to change or add, but had no clue how. I started off with trying to accomplish the most basic thing I could with free assets and a base tutorial, and decided to move forward from there.

Once I managed to follow the tutorial and achieve a functioning game, I wanted to work on adding my own ideas onto the game. This process was very tough, and the game is still missing a lot that I wish I could've added! Due to my lack of understanding in code, I tend to struggle quite a bit with remixing tutorials. Despite that though, I managed to do a couple little extra things! 

At that point I had also decided that I wanted to do a fangame for a song that I have really liked for a long time, "RPG" by SoraMafuUraSaka. I tried to reflect this decision not only through the song choice of course, but also through the design of my game overall! I really wanted to draw their characters too but unfortunately did not have enough time for that. Instead I tried to implement their image colors as much as I could throughout the game.

Working on the UI design was pretty fun for sure though! It was a little tougher than I expected, but it was fun nonetheless!
