Bottle Man Update 5/21


Work continues on this project with a smaller group than the project began with. Our goal is to iron out the last remaining bugs, add a fully working saving and loading system, and improve aspects of gameplay in areas where they are lacking. 

Major Changes

  • Players now can play through the entire game as we intended. 
  • Players should have more direction for the Farmer Joe Missions and the ending mission as well. 
  • The entirety of the main city has been detailed with the assets provided.

General Changes

  • If Bottle Man runs into a fire hydrant it will fall over and water will spray out.
  • Any floating mission related object has been fixed.
  • Many adjustments have been made to the placement and positioning of objects; whether that is moving objects, fixing incorrect placements, or snapping vertices of modular assets. 
  • The mouse cursor issues where mouse cursors disappeared have been fixed. 
  •  A respawn button has been added to the pause menu, this is to allow players to respawn should the unlikely event  Bottle Man getting stuck.
  • The tutorial functions completely as intended. 
  • Banana trail added to the farmer joe mission 
  • New signs added in the park area to help players navigate
  • There is a sound for when the objective list gets updated 
  • The objective list text now fits the checklist no matter the mission. 
  • New sounds have been added to various parts of the game and missions.

Known Issues/Bugs

  • The main menu has new game/load buttons. These do not function properly yet as we have not implemented this feature. Stay tuned for updates on this in the coming weeks. Clicking new game simply launches the game at the moment. 
  • When Bottle Man dies and respawns sometimes he will shatter once more and you have to respawn again. This sometimes loops as well.
  • When Bottle Man dies on a puddle it will endlessly spawn the shatter particle.
  • Bottle Man in some instances can get stuck at Farmer Joes second mission. This is a rare occurrence and can be mitigated with the pause menu respawn button. 
  • Bottle Man talk animations missing from Farmer Joe interactions
  • The Anvils and pianos fall too slowly 
  • The bottle cap doesn't fall when Bottle Man shatters. 
  • Bottle Man seems to veer to the right when walking 
  • Generic NPCs using VR don't get up properly when knocked down.
