Project Health: On Track
Introduction
Hello again! We are on track and making great progress with the In World Builder Game Creator toolset.
Highlights
Our 3D team has continued creating Sci-fi themed assets in addition to new candy-themed fantasy assets. To date over 50 3D assets have been completed and all of our beautiful 3D assets are currently available to the public for use on our Github.
Our Game Creation team has continued working on how Actions, Triggers, and Counters will operate in our new IWB Game Creator. We have been working on how game modules and game templates
Our User Interface and User Experience team has been working with coding and game design to provide a robust UI and toolset while keeping the game creator as simple as possible for creators to build their own gamified experiences.
Our Coding team has been continuing the migration of both scene and server side infrastructure to the newer Data Orientation Model. They have also added custom fonts for UI text as well as custom UI Text & UI Image positioning. A new feature is the UI components can now handle scene data (States and Counters) to be displayed on the UI. The coding team also implemented a new βGrabβ modifier with shortcuts to easily PRS an object in grab mode ( (Creators can press the shift key to switch between Position, Rotation, Scale and then press the β2β or β3β keys to quickly modify values up or down from just using their keyboard with the need to click with a mouse). The coding team started testing initial versions of starting games and keeping track of all game variables during gameplay. The coding team also started initial testings for multiplayer scoring and updates.
Our QA and Testing team has begun initial testing of our new In World Builder Game Creator toolset. The team put together a script testing document outlining our initial QA tests. This Test Script document will be updated as we progress through the project.
Blockers
We do not have any known blockers at this time.
Next steps
Over the next month our 3D team will continue creating sci-fi and candy themed 3D and animated assets. 3D will also be optimizing the 3D colliders on existing assets for our builder. Our coding team will continue working on core backend services and core backend design. Our Game design and User Experience teams will continue working with our coding team to design the best functionality and flow of our new game creator features. QA will continue testing our new Game Creator toolset in addition to starting to test our new 3D assets.
