Adding Multiplayer Functionality

Adding Multiplayer Functionality

We have finally added a multiplayer functionality to the game using Photon. The game can be joined by as many people as possible for now. We are yet to decide how many people would be in a map and what the ratio of players per team would be. For now we only have cylindrical shapes as players. They will be replaced by Mixamo models.

User Interface

The UI consists of a rough depiction of a few elements as listed below-

Realm Name- This will change as the players make the switch by pressing the V key. The two realms are called "Light realm" and " Dark Realm".

Machine Parts- This will display the machine parts that have been added to the machine to fix it.

Name- The player name will be displayed here. "three" is the name of the player who's playing the game in the screenshot above.

Health- At the bottom left corner the number 100 depicts the current health of the player which changes as the player takes damage.

Ammo- The bottom right corner of the screenshot shows the current ammo. We have kept the starting ammo as 10 clips of 30 rounds.

Mixamo Models

We shortlisted the following models for team light realm-

The following models were shortlisted for team Dark Realm-

Over the next few days I will be creating a second identical map for the dark realm and place it on top of the light realm map so that the players can seamlessly switch. The map structure will be identical and the lighting and decorations will be different so that the players can tell they're in a different realm after switching.
