It's time for yet another Sunday Musings, Huzzah! Chalk Full of WorkI think that's my quota for god-awful puns met for this week... We've been quite busy as per usual, working on the darts app we're developing. Adrian spent the week concepting, modelling, unwrapping and texturing the dartboard and cabinet which form the background for much of the app. We went with it for our Screenshot Saturday this week... As you can see, the blackboard parts of the cabinet form the menus which are written in a chalk font. So far, we're happy with how it looks and also how the menus are running. Fast and responsive. I got to work on one of the main modes in the game, 501. From the main menu, it takes you into an options menu which then allows you to select whether you're playing versus the CPU or versus another Player. Then, from that menu, you go into the different options for the game mode itself. These include, the number of legs, difficulty and whether it's a Doubles In/Out game. So far I've got the legs working and part of the mode working (the player part). The AI is being worked on at the moment. The plan is to make it work at a basic level first and then get the difficulties working after that. So I'm going to be quite busy over the next week, in order to get that working to an acceptable level As I mentioned in my mid-week blog, the main menu was having some slight problems (which may be understating it somewhat), the camera was not reacting the way it should have been. It was having trouble deciding which animation was meant to be playing for the menu positions. I basically had to remove all animations and start from scratch which took a good bit of extra work and testing to get it reacting properly. Music!Time for our songs of the week! Adrian's gone with Ninja Sex Party's "Everybody Shut Up" which is a thing. Very strange song, as per usual from Ninja Sex Party I've gone for Blue October's "Hate Me" which I rediscovered this week. Adrian's: Ninja Sex Party - Everybody Shut UpDan's: Blue October - Hate MeAnd here we end. Adrian will be back doing the blogs next week, so be sure to give those a read.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Hello and welcome to another Sunday musings! This has been a great week for us indie dev's as bombshell after bombshell has been dropped on us as Unreal went free with a small 5% charge on games after a certain amount of sales. And Unity dropping the news of unity 5 is out ..... !!!!NOW!!! Have to say me and Dan went crazy and hit that unity site the actual second he said that and joined the thousands of people pushing to get 5 ASAP. We have been waiting for this news for nearly a year and we are extremely happy and pleased with this release! This means alot for the future of our games including Reprieve. We can take advantage of all the pro features that were once behind a pay wall for us and all developers. !!!!!BLOOM!!!!! We love it and as this pic shows it will look awesome with our style. We cannot wait to get back to work on Reprieve.
Take it away Sam!Dan first with Oasis and The Master Plan I will be more retro and go with Toto- Hold the line That was us this week hope you all had a good time and that you come back next week for more from Dan as I am putting up my feet and laughing.
