Game Features
Greybox Improvements
The greybox tool is helpful for the designers to be able to easily build out the level to their desire. Since it was built from scratch it is not as feature complete as it could be. I was tasked with adding a necessary category to be placed from the tool and improve upon the placement of the greyboxes.
Added the creation and placement of items from the greybox tool.
Improved upon placement by being able to click anywhere inside the viewport window to place the objects in the level.
Saving, Loading and Level Persistence
Saves and loads the state of the game for the player.
During runtime the levels that have been visited are saved when leaving the level.
The levels are saved (can be saved as binary or text files) and zipped to save on space.
