Next Steps:

- Balance the sounds increase the volume.

Introduction:

This week, I focused on balancing the sound effects and background music so background music is not too loud and the SFX effects are evened out.

Achievements:

- All sound effects and music are balanced, now background music was much settled and the effects sound evened out.

Challenges and Solutions: 

- Challenge: Balancing the sound effects and background music.  

  Solution:   Solution: Unfortunately, I couldn't find an "Audio Normalizer" to balance all sound effects, which would have met all my expectations. Instead, I manually adjusted sound effects individually using a try-and-error approach method.

Next Steps:

TODO !

Introduction:

This week, I focused on fixing the bugs after feedback form peers and teachers:

- Splash when the bullet reaches the robber,

- Cop car lights,

- Particles when Money picked up,

- Flash form gun and machine gun,

- Money visibility while in the building mode.

- Fixing Land Mine shake to destroy.

Achievements:

- All feedback has been implemented in the game, except for the addition of blood stains or visible indications that the Robber was hit. We decided not to include this due to Google Play’s policy. Adding blood stains would change the game’s PEGI rating from 14+ to 18+, which could significantly limit our target audience.

Challenges and Solutions: 

- Challenge: All Land Mines are exploading during the shake the device.

  Solution: Because of the new input system update, the shake-to-explode idea was scraped till further notice. Instead, new mechanics were implemented tap to arm the bomb.

Introduction:

This week, I focused on adding additional language (Polish) to the game. Because the game was also added to the Google Play Store in the Polish market, common sense dictated that the game needed to have an additional option to change language to Polish.

Achievements:

- All text was translated, 

- The font changes for the Polish language.

Challenges and Solutions: 

- Challenge: Polish symbols are not displaying correctly.

  Solution: Changing the font and adjusting the size fix the error with Polish symbols being not displayed  correctly.
