Alpha sprint

Towards the end of last week (week 3) we had our alpha deadline. This meant starting the week by compiling the feedback from the play-test so that we could tweak and change what was needed. Several bugs with the AI was presented and fixed as well.
This week mostly persisted of get what we had working good as well as putting in a joint effort to get an actual scene to play in with terrain, white boxing and level design.

BGP – Day 36

Night before Beta presentation
This was a long day since I spent many hours adding small details to our level. During the day it started with creating a small mesh for a stone that I would use as part of a particle. The particle was a sand/dust particle that would activate when a player uses a elevator. Here it is:

Then I checked the different fires in one of my test levels so that they all looked different from one another and […]

Captain’s log, stardate 94979.93.

Det var inte spännande alls att slåss i […]

Amenti week 6 BGP

The main problem being that a bug happened which resulted in the affected person had to delete the whole project and then download it again for it to work. After some ten repeats by different people I became fed up with how much time this took from […]
