Gameplay
Player movement is the key of this game. It is inspired from games like “QWOP” and “Goldeneye”. Players use controller to control each leg separately.
My Responsibilities
Movement:
- Designed and built player control scheme. Players can use both sticks to control two front legs, and hold triggers while using sticks to control back legs. They can also use B for dashing, which allows goats’ bodies to collide with the soccer ball.
- This control scheme allows both complexity and fun at the same time. I designed it to be chaotic and hard to use, but I didn’t want them to be so chaotic that player’s actions felt meaningless; I wanted the controls to be just orderly enough that players could get better at using them, the more they played the game.
Physics:
- Implemented individual feet physics movement system. Tuned to prevent physics glitches.
- Also implemented Pinball-like bumpers and soccer physics which need to correctly collide with player goats and not bouncing those goats out of the map.
