Changelogs

Project Description

Changelogs is a game about version control softwares. Based on the Perforce software, players, in real time, pull files down from the depot, make their edits, and then push the files back onto a "changelog" and send it back up to the depot for the other players to use. Using this system players must try to complete the correct file, which will require teamwork, since each player only gets specific items for them to craft with. 

My Roles

• Implemented Steam Networking, and the lobby system

• Created the features in game which required the use of networking, such as pushing to the depot, and pulling from it

  • This utilized a depot manager which kept up to date on the hosts client, and whenever a player needs to pull or push, it communicates via this manager.

• Designed an entire tutorial system

  • Supported text and audio based dialogue, pausing until actions are completed, and an UI highlighting feature so we could show where the player needed to interact with.
