Post Drone
About the Project
Post Drone is a speed running game that we made for our first Game Project of the education. The game was made under 2 weeks. The theme was 'Future Transportation', We play as a drone in a futuristic city of robots and deliver all the packages in minimum time.
My role on this project as a Gameplay & Systems Programmer. I worked on Character Movement, Gear System, Package Spawning, and Procedural Animations for the Player character.
Character Movement
We made a Handle Input Class as a Controller for the Player Character. We have a separate Drone Movement class which handles the movement of the character. The packages are picked up and dropped automatically through triggers.
Gear System
The Drone has 5 gears including the reverse and neutral gears. The speed and direction of the Drone's movements are directed by the gear of the drone.
Prodedural Animations
On a fixed update call we update the target position and rotations of both the engines of the drone. We then proceed to lerp it by a predefined fraction to give it a smooth animated effect whenever the drone changes gears and/or directions.
