Hey everyone!

This week, my attention was set on the "backend" of our game, focusing mainly on creating an abstraction for levels and collectibles to make the game work as a cohesive experience, and not just a sequence of sequential levels. For this, I paved the way for a save system, so that it could be implemented in the future. This way, we can now store which collectibles have been caught in a specific level and only display the ones yet to be catched. I also created a dynamic ui to only display parts of an image based on the collectibles catched in a specific level.

I was also tasked to adding gamepad support, migrating to Unity's new Input System.

Finally, I created logic for the end of a level, creating an end menu to be displayed when the player reaches the end.

I intend to continue work on menus, save system and more, while also helping my colleagues out on more time sensitive tasks if necessary.

See you next week!
