Attach-Mend Devlog #4 - Inflating a Tyre & Stamina / Motivation Bars

Hi, this is the 4th devlog for my game Attach-Mend - a DIY simulation type game.

This next job was actually easier than I thought to create and I picked up a really nice car model off the asset store by Pro 3D Models for free.

So I jumped in Blender and created a shape key for the flat tyre and built this tyre inflator attachment model. The player just has to crouch down and get in the correct position.

When the targeting overlay turns green, hit the left mouse button and it inflates the tyre with the blend shape animation… 

The other additions to this new version I’ve uploaded are the Stamina and Motivation bars.

Motivation decreases constantly from the start and when it gets to about half way down it will start to decrease the Stamina in larger increments.

When the player runs out of Stamina the game is over. Other things that can affect Stamina are carrying attachments and heavy objects, such as the door. This can drain Stamina really quickly.

To boost Stamina the player can have an energy drink to keep him going a bit longer and each time a job is completed the Motivation is boosted slightly.

Next on my list is to see if I can add some more functions to the menu system. I would like to add some music and volume sliders and also a toggle to remove the prompts. I also have some other ideas I would like to experiment with…

So play in the browser to drill, screw, saw, sand, bevel and inflate your way through the test scene while managing your stamina, motivation and battery levels and I will see you in the next devlog, thanks for watching / reading!!!
