The good weather is here this weekend in Ireland and we are still working on the darts app. Things are going great with the app this week a few bumps but that's to be accepted while developing anything. Well it was shining... until that day all went dark. That's right this week was the host to the solar eclipse and we got up extra early to watch this rare event. The sky was clouded up to the actual eclipse but just at the right time I got the perfect view with a layer of clouds that made it safe to watch without burning my retina's off. Other people in Ireland sadly were not as lucky with just cloud wall covering all the action. The picture is hard to see but I did capture some nice moments of this eclipse. See you again in a few years I guess, I hope next time it comes around we have a few successful games under our belt. This week I worked on trophies that will be used with the corresponding difficulty level the user has chosen to compete at. I have concepted the trophies earlier on in the projects life. I had to keep as low poly as possible but still have enough shape and design that makes them look nice and recognizable. The trophies range from bronze to platinum and with how the app will play only really really good users will legitimately get that huge platinum trophy to show off. I modeled the trophies based of 4 basic models I have modeled the dart, the bass, the medal and the stars. By combining these meshes in different patters keeps the same aesthetic while giving a sillouhette that is instantly recognizable Time for me to tell you about Dan's adventures this week. Dan has been coding the basic X01 mode. This mode is the bread and butter of the app as the AI will be using a variation of this through-out the entire app. Our client asked for the difficulties to have a set bracket to finish a leg of darts in but not to throw the same match every round. Dan has done amazing on this so far and we have Ai with different levels of difficulty and we will be tweaking it to perfection during the projects developement cycle. Sunday TunageTune time and Dan will go first with Send me on my way by Rusted Root. And for the eclipse I chose this song ... it mentions something about eclipses aawwwww yeaah That's all for this week folks. Hope u have a good week as the sun is currently belting down out there and I for one am gonna grab me sum tan-age!
Have fun guys! Comments are closed.
