Week 7! Beta! Trailer! Stuff!

INCREDIBLY busy week this was. First off we had a crunch to finish off the game for the Wednesdays beta testing.  I made a tutorial so new players could get into the game more easier. The beta event went well, we had a lot of good feedback. Our game is really turning out like a niche game, some like it, some find it very frustrating. One things i learnt about the tutorial was not to overwhelm the player. I will […]

Week 6

This week i added in the new player models with animations working! This is a big step forward and makes the game look greatly better. I also added support for stationary Guards, and giving these Guards an intial look direction when they spawn. Other then that, not so much has happened. Just another week.

Fifth Week!

Not long until GGC now! It dosen’t feel that only five weeks have passed since we started, but i guess in such a short course there bound to be some of these changes.
The game is taking shape more and more by the minute. The two last items are in: Camouflage, which hides the player if he stays still for a long period and distraction bomb, which draws guards attention away from whatever they are guarding. The model for the guard […]

Fourth week of development!

Last week was an exciting week for me and the group in general! We have a game now, kind of. Our alpha is feature complete and we are ready this week for a feature freeze.
A lot of work went in to squash out the bugs in the movement system this week, and making sure it works for all cases. I devoted the first 2-3 days of last week to this. Also, we added items! Three items are in the game. […]

Third Week of development! Alpha here we come

So the third week of development has come and passed. While we haven’t been quite successful reaching a full alpha stage, but we have all the basic features basically done, if not in a really playable state. My work has mostly be producer material. I started the week by setting up a meeting with myself and the lead designer to figure out some kinks in our design. My concern was that
1. We did not have a universal picture of how […]

Second Week of Development!

This week was incredibly short in general. Firstly, the whole group went home for Easter on Thursday, some leaving a bit earlier. This left total development time for this week just three days, with no time to call extra meetings on Saturday on Sunday. I am myself busy with touring my girlfriends brother who is visiting, and in the process of moving. This kinda complicates things.
I’ve focused mostly on programming this week as we are lagging behind in that aspect. […]
