Final version thoughts: I believe I was able to achieve for the most part the initial vision I had set out for when making this game. I've implemented multiple levels to explore, enemies to fight, a score based on both drinks and enemies, and an interactable environment in some regard on every level. The main change would be the scale of interaction I had initially planned has been toned down, especially in moveable furniture etc, as this made the levels feel crowded, and was at the cost of gameplay in my eyes, and with 6 levels, the (not so secret) pub managers office, and a functional scoring system, along with plenty of enemies, I felt there was enough going for the game already. That being said the game now plays as well as I intended, and I was even able to implement a nice level of polish such as intro cut scenes and music and sound effects. There are still some bugs, the most prominent being sometimes enemies/drinks/stairs spawn in walls, that being said you can still interact with them through your punches/kicks

Game Feedback: Based on feedback by Chloe (cjgregg), Mellisa (mellisad), Xavier (xapse), Lindsay and Ben(bjc7) in the discord, I implemented a changes to the game. The first was fixing the ui for most of the scenes, as depending on screen resolution they were all over the place. The next 2 major changes was adding a floor counter to tell you what floor you were on, as well as an arrow which points towards the staircase to the next floor after 90 seconds in game (this is especially handy now the stairs spawn randomly). I fixed my high scoring system, switching from scriptable objects to player logs. Finally, I made some changes to both the enemies hitboxes and player punching and kicking hitboxes, to get a better overlap between the two and make the combat in the game more realistic (barely).

AI: No Chat GPT or co pilot or any other ai aid was used in making this game.
