In the main art of the game I used a lot of pixel art on all the assets. I chose to make the main game pixel art because I think it was fitting with the environment and it also meant I could get a lot of assets done easier for the game. I got a lot of pixel art help from my research on Wanella<\/a>.

The original idea was to have one user on each screen and in the corners there would be camera recording like visuals, however I redid it as I didn’t think that it made too much sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also created a custom font for the numbers however I found that it was too hard to implement into Godot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the original button texture, it went for a more 3D approach which didn’t visually make sense as everything else was 2D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also tried to experiment with changing the background and making it a fuzzy background, but there was too much visual noise combined with the Blender CRT filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then decided to change the game into a computer trying to replicate old computer tabs. I think the new design is so much clearer and a lot nicer. I think it implements the UI and looks more like the player is on the PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think idea for the UI is it should be quite simplistic but not too specifically labelled to give so much that the player understands it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top of the game is based on old computer tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each do here lights up whenever a player a puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I added the User to the new version however re-iterated it so both players could have their user on the same side of the screen at once and I coloured it so it was more obvious which user was which players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also drew out what it would look like later into the game maybe with more puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below are some more small things that are pretty self explanatory and I just wanted to include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
