FNAF 2 Game Scene

FNAF 2 Gamescene    

For 6 weeks I lead a group of 3 others through the creation of a game scene walkthrough. This game scene required us to complete many different models, textures, animations, SFX, VFX, lighting, and intractability. I'll now walk you through the different elements that I worked on for this project.

Lead responsibilities:

As a lead, I was responsible for setting up and managing our group's Trello and GitHub. This entailed generating a backlog for all assets necessary for our game, gathering references for them, and turning them into cards while assigning them to my team.

I would say the most difficult part of this project was attempting to convey some images I had in my head to a produced produced by a total of 4 of us. Making sure my cards explained how I wanted assets to look, and how I wanted gameplay to feel overall was super important and a great learning experience for me.

    What went wrong:

Finally, our projects were supposed to contain groups of 5 individuals. which our team had originally had. Unfortunately, one of our team members decided to stop attending class 2 weeks into the project, so I had to make some major scope adjustments as we had just lost a 5th of our group's manpower.

    What went well: 

Luckily, the rest of the group I was with worked extreamly hard to get everything done, never complining about the workload adjustsments. In the end the product turned out amazing, and I want to thank Tony, Marco, and Donovan for making this scene a reality.

 Seeing as we were a man down in this operation, I too needed to step up my game. So I took it upon myself and made all of the code, animations, sound design effects, post-processing, and lighting assets while also making some particle effects and managing the entire scene layout. I'll go over each part more in-depth now.

Code:

Luckily, code is my favotire part of game design, so this section was more enjoyable than anything else. Within unity I used the new input system to create a player movement script, with WASD as the straif buttons, SHIFT as run, CTRL as crouch, E as interact, SPACE to enter a monitor system, and F to toggle the flashlight.

    Movement: 


In the end, the movement system turned out pretty well. It was easy to move and look around, and the buttons for actions felt pretty obvious. I ran into a bug withing the vetns that allowed the players to stand up through the celing of the vent if they didnt hold down CTRL. Holding crouch the entire way thorugh the vent felt very clunky, so I added a check to see if they were inside of a vent, and if so then the player would be unable to stand up.















    


    Inteactibility:


This was a fun one to work on. For intractability, I decided to create a parent class interactScript, that checked to see if the player clicked the interact key while inside of the object's trigger. from there, I created different child classes for each type of interaction in the game. This proved to work extremely well as having a shell for the interactions saved me a ton of time.









    Freddy Movement:

A last-minute add to try and make the scene more interactive. Basically makes Freddy teleport from one place to another when going through a trigger. This was done by turning on and off separate game objects that point to the next transition. 


    Monitor System:

The monitor system was also really fun to work on. I don't usually do a ton of mid-scene UI interactivity, so it was really cool to add a system that pulls up a monitor and allows the player to switch to different cameras. 

Animations:

I also was in charge of creating all of the animations for the project. Luckily, there were only 3, a music box crank, a carousel spin, and the door opening animation. All of these turned out really well, which is definitely more thanks to the models over the simple animations.

Lighting

The scene lighting was one of the most difficult parts of this project. I wanted the scene to feel spooky and dark, while still allowing the player to see. And although I wanted the player to see, I also wanted the flashlight to make a huge difference in player visibility. Luckily the post-processing I did was a huge help in this, but placing and adjusting the values for all of the lights in the scene is what made the final product so spooky.



Post-Processing

As I stated a little above, post-processing did work in this project. It transformed the scene from somewhat bland actually atmospheric. I want to also give some props to my group member Tony, who showed me how the unity fog system worked, which was a huge part of this scene as well.



Sound Design

SFX was also a huge part of my workload. I had to find all sorts of sound effects to use for the scene, from the rain outside and the scary ambient music to the peppy carousel vibes that play. I also had to make sure that those elements only played when needed, so some coding came along with the sound design stuff as well.


The Final Product

Sprint 2

Sprint 2 In this sprint, most if not all of my time spent was in Unity and Trello. Inside of Trello, as the lead I was in charge of adding, distributing, and managing the team's cards. This sprint, we got 14 cards moved into Sprint 2, 0 cards left in to verify, 5 cards left in progress, and 6 cards in assigned. I only got 2 of my cards moved into completed over this sprint, both about the movement system for the player.   The rest of my week that was not spent on Trello making and managing cards, or in Unity making player movement, was spent in Unity creating a working camera system. In the latest version of this system, I used to new Unity input system to manage a canvas and different UI elements with in-game cameras. The first thing I did was allow a canvas to appear and disappear when clicking space, making the space bar allow the player to pull up the surveillance system. After adding some basic elements to make the interface look better, I wanted the player to be able to press...

Sprint 5

Sprint 5 This sprint is where my workload greatly increases. For the next couple of weeks, it is my job to make sure that all of the pieces of this game come together. I have to gather all models, textures, animations, lighting assets, sound assets, and more to make them all fluid within the Unity scene. So far I have: Made sure that interaction scripts were working and added a door-opening animation to the door model. Finished one of the 4 accessible party room layouts,  Added some invisible walls to ensure the players don't come out of the play area. Added some post-processing to make the textures look and feel a lot better. Added some lighting assets to get a hold of how I want the fuze box interaction to feel. And also fixed some scripts and changed some animations to make sure they were working as intended.

Sprint 4

 This sprint was a lot of setup for the finished models and textures in Unity. I worked on particle effects, base animations, animation intractability, and gathered sound effects for every component within the scene. Within the sprint, I added 4 new animations. A door-opening animation will be used for all of the doors in the scene as well as the original opening of the fuse box. A rotate y animation for the merry-go-round that will be rideable within the scene, a rotate x animation for turning the music box, and a lid opening animation that will open the lid of the music box. I also grabbed most of if not all of the necessary sfx that will be needed in the scene. This way when the models are finished all that will need to happen is scene organization and component linking in unity. Lastly, I started making some particle effects for some assets within the scene. The first one I made was a smoking effect for any electronics that have become old within the scene. This sprint is the c...
