Inspiration

I like aesthetic games. I liked the idea of the capturing heart in this bio, so I went with that!

What it does

You basically have to go through a course of obstacles to obtain all 3 of your hearts (just like in typical games you would only have 3 lives). [Important! To play the game you must have a roblox account after clicking my game link, but no worries it only takes a few seconds to make an account!]

How we built it

[Solo project] I used Lua scripting in Roblox Studio, and to make the meshes/models, I used Blender and Roblox Studio.

Challenges we ran into

There were so many bugs and it took me a long time to figure out how to make checkpoints in the game without having the avatar die and respawn at the first base! A psychical challenge for me is my laptop GPU is low as well, so my studio crashes every 5-10 minutes so I time myself in increments to save my work. It also took me a while to make the game music/audio and the touch to avatar audio separated on touch instance. I was glad it worked out after many trials and error! I am still new to making scripts in my games, so working on this game really helped me understand how to put pieces together.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I love the vibe of my game, the colors, music (non copy right free music) and heart meshes. Seeing the finished product was worth it for me. I learned how to anchor certain parts of my obstacle that I did not know how to do initially. I want to continue learning how to make more complex obstacles.

What we learned

I learned how to make separate checkpoints in my game and make separate touch audios in the game, for example when you make it to the end of the game an applause is given to your character. At each checkpoint you hear a sound to indicate you got one of the hearts! ex: [function onTouched(hit) local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") if humanoid~=nil then wait(0.01) script.Parent.Sound:Play() end end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched) ]
