Hello guys, and welcome to the beginning of what's going to be Bee Trial.
We're making this game for our game development class and, as such, it needs to be done by 27th June. You can expect a demo for you to play until then. 

Me (Pedro) and Raquel chose this idea over several we had and got a bit too excited with making it real.
We started by making a capsule (our bee) shooting balls_low.p3f to diamond shaped sprites (our enemies). From the start it looked like it could be a really satisfying game to play. And that was it.

Now, the real development week begun and Miguel and João jumped in.
We sat together and decided all the design document. What was the scope of our game, the mechanics, our story. Every single thing. After a bit of discussion we got through it.

In this first week we made some gameplay prototypes to test out different mechanics. Even though we only used simple shapes for our characters and items, the game is already looking pretty neat. There are two major question marks we still have:

• Will the game be played on keyboard or mouse?
• Are the enemies spawning just randomly or in well defined patterns, although them being random aswell?

We don't know yet, so the prototypes will focus on these aspects.

We did 2 more weapons besides the ball thrower, some enemy movements, worked on all the colliders and interactions between the elements we have (Bee, enemies, weapon swap item, powerups, bullets etc.)
You can read more about the development in each developer's individual devlog.

Have in mind that each weapon being made will have 5 different stages, which can be upgraded if the player picks ups the power ups. This might result in less weapons, but more to explore on the ones you really love. The weapons showed already have those stages implemented, which will remain a secret for a while :)

This is the resume of our week. Hope it got your attention and stay tuned for what will come next friday :D
