By Admin•Sep 26th, 2024•2 min read

Final tweaks to the game’s splash screen, virtual joystick for mobile, and physics layers before wrapping up the prototype.

# Intro

Hello everyone! Welcome to the second part of my devlog for Survival Sprint: Fury of the Boss. Today, I will talk about the last things I worked on before finishing the game prototype. I focused on these parts:

  1. Final work on the splash screen and user interface.
  2. Adding the virtual joystick for mobile controls.
  3. Finishing the physics layers to control game objects.

# 1. Splash Screen and User Interface

In the past weeks, I made the game’s user interface better, and now I finished the splash screen. I added a minimum time for the splash screen and changed the design to make it look nice.

# Key changes:

  • Splash screen color: The final color is a deep blue, which makes the game look more professional.
  • Game logo: I added a game logo to make the screen unique.

# 2. Virtual Joystick for Mobile Controls

To finish mobile controls, I added a virtual joystick. This joystick makes it easier for mobile players to control the character. Now, all the important control features are done.

# What I did:

  • Added and set up the virtual joystick plugin.
  • Made the controls work better for mobile screens.

# 3. Physics Layers: Final Setup

To finish the physics for game objects, I added the final layers to control how objects in the game interact. Now, each type of object has its own layer, which helps make everything work well.

# Final physics layers:

  • Wall — walls
  • Player — the player
  • Enemies — enemies
  • Bullets — bullets
  • Items — items

With these changes, the game prototype is almost done. In the next part of the devlog, I will talk about the final boss fight and how I will finish the game.
