Rapid Games Prototyping - Week 3

Play Demo on Itch.io

Overview

A queue-management simulator where the player acts as a bouncer. This prototype served as the foundation for the "Visitor Manager" systems used in later, more complex projects.

Technical Implementation

• FIFO Data Structures: Managed the visitor line using a Queue system to ensure fair processing and logic.
• Visual Timers: Implementation of UI radial fills to represent visitor patience.
• Modular NPC Spawning: Randomisation of NPC attributes (speed, patience, appearance) using a pool of ScriptableObjects.

Controls

• Mouse Click: Admit / Reject guest.
• Hover: Check Guest ID/Stats.
