This post marks the release of a new version of The Sentinel Project.

The original game was group project created for a Game Design class at UCF. It was one of the first games any of us had worked on, so it had various issues with art and programming.

The goal I set for myself with this release was to generally improve the game without making it feel like a different game by the end. 

This is a non-comprehensive list of updates/improvements I made:

• Overall scaling
• Use of lighting
• Baked lighting and occlusion culling
• Added interaction audio with keys and buttons
• Adjusted audio overall
• The keypad in the final room now has interactable buttons (so you don't type on your keyboard now)
• The small display in the final room now replicates the large display
• Added sprinting, jumping, crouching, and toggling of the flashlight
• Fixed the cursors behavior
• Added a reticle for the player
• Added an additional sentinel and tweaked their behavior
• Added more usage of the existing props
• The clue screens are now randomly assigned numbers, so the code will be different each time
• The player can hide under desks to avoid sentinel detection
• Added a screen in the start room with the controls
• Fixed various bugs
