My Game Level

In Circus of the dead I created the final level of the game which was the boss level. This was the first time I used Construct 2 and it was a lot more different from using game maker. First thoughts of the software, I really liked the layout because it was simple and I prefer to use layers which are also in Photoshop. I found this software a while to get ok at but I still don’t think I’m good at it. The main thing I found annoying was the fact you had to use tile maps. This means that when I used piskel to create my tiles I had to create them all on the same document. Furthermore if I wanted to add a big tile in my tile set, it wouldn’t allow it because it has to fit a certain grid size. I just felt that it was a lot of fuss there at first where it didn’t need to be. However I enjoyed the coding of the event sheet it was easy to navigate and it wasn’t as hard as it ought it would have been. When we began to learn construct 2 we had a variety of tutorials to complete and one of them was a top down shooter. So I took that code from the tutorial and implemented it into my game and from that I built off it. I was happy with my final game but if was to add more to it I would try and include jump scares because I don’t felt it was scary enough for a horror game. So for next time I would try and make it scarier by implementing jump scares and more creepy audio queues.
