Week 8: Real Archers Have Jelly Arms.

Hello!
This week we’re rounding up the very last things to do before our Beta presentation on friday. It’s mainly a lot of pressure on our programmers, but they are getting along fine right now, and everything is turning towards us having a nice, nearly complete game to show. Initially I was supposed to finish the very last attack animation for the last tree / tower (you can read more about my Tower Attack Animations in my previous blog post “Week […]

Bullets in Dragon Song

Similar to the previous week this week have mostly been about fine tuning parts of the game. Anthon Fredriksson introduced us to smart pointers and helped us implement them in our game. With this a lot of our memory leaks were eliminated. Some other parts of the game were also fixed, but for this blog post I will write about the bullets in the game. The player bullets, the enemy bullets and the huge sound wave “bullet”. All of these […]

In the end state you can choose if you want to […]

The light blue is a power up for when the bat is ready for shooting a projectile, the green one is for the […]

A doory problem

The weeks are starting to get few and the days are starting to get long. Only two more weeks left after this one before the game is suppose to be finished. I can tell you now dear readers that it will not be finished, at least not the way it was suppose to in our head. We we need another month or two for that.
But we have learned a lot during these weeks so the next game will be better […]

LATE NIGHT DINO – WIP – Update!New Project
It is the night before the Beta presentation for Dash Bat and I am watching Dexter while sitting and drawing a dino mother guarding her eggs.

Lets see how the rest of the body will turn out. I am excited to have […]
