Dev log #1: 21/05/2025

What's done so far

• Implemented simple WASD and gamepad car controls.
• Built on the collisions systems, the drunk driver now takes damage proportional to its velocity relative to what it collided with.
  
• Added a level the players can drive in.
• Made the game multiplayer split-screen.
• Alcohol drinking effects like speed augmentations, occasional blackouts and long term blurriness (blurriness is a panel overlap placeholder for now)
• Integrated assets for the cop and drunk driver car.
• Rearview mirror functionality
• Simple bare-bones Minimap & UI for game stats
• First version of civilian car spawning and navigation

Next steps

• Make it so that the alcohol's effects only affect the drunk driver and not the cop.
• Limit the supply of alcohol and add checkpoints for alcohol pickup.
• Balance the cop car vs drunk driver car speed.
• Improve civilian car spawning on the road and implement a pathfinding algorithm for them.
• Fix the audio SFX.
• Improve car models & apply textures

What we learned

• Merging Unity projects in Git branches is hard!
• Use prefabs as often as possible to avoid these issues.
• Code gets messy very fast with 5 different people working on it, need to follow better design principles in the future to ensure modularity and reusability.
