Juice and Stability Improvments!

Introduction

This is Fish Simulator, a two player game where fish race to escape from their tanks.

What’s New?

• Animated main fish swimming and flopping
• Polished jumping physics
• Balanced tank placement
• Added in game events
• Polluted Tank Event
• Increased Food Spawning Event
• Added Scene transitions
• Added a table for the tanks to sit on
• Changed to horizontal split screen
• Bug fixes

What’s the Motivation?

The main goal of this sprint was to polish the game. We prioritized fixing movement physics and balancing the level difficulty. Next, we introduced in-game events like tank pollution to create more variability in gameplay. We also added animations and scene transitions for a more professional feel.

What’s Next?

• We plan to add enemy AI like the fish owner and a cat that try to prevent the fishes’ escape when the fish try to jump to another tank. 
• Sharks!
• A few more tanks are in the works, but we think that we will limit the number of tanks to 5.
• More Balance Changes: This week we made some based on our own playtest, but next week we plan to make more as we get analytics data to work off of.
• Add a variety of food like small fish with different values and players can only consume food that are smaller than their sizes.
• Add interactable tank decor and a more fleshed out background.
