It's almost Christmas! Huzzah! By all accounts it's warmer than usual for this time of year here...Boo -Urns I say. Where's the snow?!? This week has been a bit hectic in trying to get Santa's Special Delivery ready for release. I've been working on getting the scores to represent how close you got to the chimney as a percentage. That part was easy enough but getting the game to pick the final resting place of the present proved difficult. Not because the code was difficult but because I over thought the whole thing and over complicated it (Joys of coding!). In the end, I deleted most of the score script and started from scratch and it's working perfectly now. I've been working on getting the demo working for testing and getting various features working. It's been a good bit of work to get things done. Frustrating at times for various reasons but we're finally getting there. I've also been working on Unity's IAP system which has been difficult enough, mainly due to the fact there's only a small amount of resources out there for it because it's a new feature. Hopefully it doesn't slow things down on the development side... In the great city of Midgar, Adrian's been doing all the art for the game and making it look all purrrrty like. Really liking the style on this one, he's done an awesome job (as per usual) He also been making the levels for the game which will be a slow enough process but he's done about 7 or 8, i think so far. Still a good few to go though In terrifying news, he's also been coding a little bit too. May the coding gods have mercy on all our souls... Time for our songs of the week. Adrian's gone for "Cosmo Canyon" from FFVII. I'm playing through FFVII for the first time this week and Adrian is getting the pleasure of watching me fumble through it...Presumably he forgot this was the last Sunday Musings before Christmas...or he's a Grinch I've gone for my favourite Christmas song. "Thankful Heart" from The Muppet Christmas Carol. Can't wait to watch it on Christmas Eve! Adrian's: Enrico Deiana - Cosmo CanyonDan's: Michael Caine & The Muppets - Thankful HeartSo, that's it from us this week. Enjoy the rest of your week and of course, Merry Christmas! Hope it's a Good One!Hey guys and welcome to another Sunday Musing's. This has been a good week (I got a day off) and we started our Christmas app game. This is called Santa's Special Delivery and will be available on android ASAP. We are loving the refreshing feeling of working on a new game and the creative freedom it brings. The style I choose for the app was a crumpled paper style as shown in the Screen shot Saturday. I have been busy working on all the art assets for the game and have a good bit done. I have been creating characters and the world in which the game takes place. The style lends it self very well to mobile and our few tests at the end of the week had us both pleasantly surprised on how it looks while running. The characters will be animated by the pins just like paper puppets. The game is aimed at younger generation but there is enough challenge it so far to keep adults busy as well. Dan has been working like an elf before Christmas working on all the code for it so far getting the base mechanics working and all the menu's set up and in place. Dan also animated the menu's the way I asked for in the design document. He spent a good chunk of one day hunting a bug that never existed as he forgot to add a level to the list. We hope that we will have this out by late next week or very early the following week so keep your eyes peeled. The jingles boop'sI will let Dan go first with his pick of the week. Feeder with Just the way Im feeling. My pick is Gorillaz vs Lorde. Its a good mix That is all we got for this week.
Thanks for popping by and reading this weeks Musings. Until Next Time Have Fun!!! |
