Silent Witness Jam (Custom Gamejam)

This gamejam was set just by a bunch of friends, experimenting with Unity's sound engine and some 3D!

At the moment it's more of a sandbox, the idea is that one can create/modify given sounds (always playing from figures) by changing their position:

• Move over the X axis for chaning the sound period
• Move over the vertical axis for changing the pitch
• Grow/Shrink for volume
• Turn off/on

Controls

Keyboard/Mouse

• w, a, s, d to move
• mouse to look
• space to jump
• left click hold things
• right click selected action
• 1, 2, 3, 4 choose action for right click

Controller (Windows/xbox)

It is currently not possible to switch actions with a controller :( (still a bit rough on the edges).

• Joysticks to move/look
• A to jump
• Left trigger hold things
• Right trigger selected action

Roadmap

• Grow tool is not affecting musical objects
• Throwing stuff off the map should destroy it
• Throwing the last piece of music out the map should create a new piece at the center of the map
• Jumping out the map should restart the level
• Include already developed gimmics (conveyor/elevator/teleporter) already developed but missing from the current game scene
• Give a more streamlined experience by teaching the player each mechanic on its own
• Create a winning condition (portal accessible when puzzle is solved)
• Playing the desired song from a radio
• Detecting the right song has been achieved
• Give feedback when a piece is in the right place

Tips during development

Avoiding merge issues in meta files

1. Always create a prefab for each gameobject in the scene
2. Ensure that there is at most one person working on a prefab
3. Ensure that there is at most one person working on each game scene -> if you need one of the scenes to adjust a prefab, create a copy of that scene -> save prefabs changes by clicking the apply button

Recomendations

Use Project Rider :)
