I must have missed the memo that we were meeting up Tuesday, so sorry everyone! When I found out our teacher was going to be gone all this week I thought we'd do everything via blog for the week.
I've sent an email to Nephi about this, but the list of questions we came up with today is too non-linear for the representation we have in class. I explain it more in my personal dev blog (http://kraygamedev.blogspot.com/2013/03/creating-conversation.html). It may be too technical for some of you, but you can get the general idea of it. The third representation is what I believe can work best with the questions we have. However, I actually want a consensus, especially from Nephi, that this is the direction we want to go in before I switch out another fucking back-end again.
I just realized I am short on time, due to family issues. I may be able to get the results page and menu to kyle. I have already sent all the art assets for the menu via google drive as the compressed file is very big with psd, ai, and fla files. I should also be able to get a results page to kyle. However, I find that we may have run into an obstacle concerning art consistency. Due to the issue above, I kinda had to draw what I could concerning the menu character. However, I noticed that when I looked at samantha's drawing that the two neutrals are actually a bit off in terms of style. These differ in terms of shading , eye styles, etc. I don't think this is a big deal for our initial draft, but may affect our final draft. Artists may need to have a quick meeting to compare art to ensure that they look close to each other in terms of style, since we only see each other every so often.
I'm going through the last minute preparations to see what I need to get done by Monday and realize I have no idea what the Result Page is suppose to look like or what we want on it. I have vague ideas, and I can go off them if need be but you really don't want that unless you want Pennywise the Dancing Clown or Sami's "drawings" telling players how they can improve. Also, Alpha is suppose to be feature complete, so if there are some features that you want in the game and aren't in it yet speak now and don't complain to me when Tuesday hits. On a final note, I thought some images were sent to me but I can't find them in my email (I have Jeff's table), so if you sent me something quite recently and its not the table, if you could send it to me that would be great. Otherwise, I will be dropping off the face of the Earth for two days and you can get a hold of me through email if its urgent.
Hey Kyle - As far as I understand Jeff was going to email you the images for the result screen. Also, the result screen should be one of three options based on score with the three lowest scoring responses being shown as an example of how they suck. Jeff did you get these over to him?
So totally optional, but I threw together some music in Premiere for the title screen, dating background music, results page music, and button click sound effects and put them on the dropbox under Gaming Sounds>Dating Music and sounds. I haven't heard Chase's music, but I didn't know if anything had been put together for it so I figured I'd give it a shot. I will bring them Thursday too, along with the finished buttons and different button states. No time to make a panda, sorry :(
If Sammi, Lya, or Jeff has some time, I could really use an .ico image. Its a 32x32 pixel image that's used for the icon on for shortcuts (the image you see when you double click on an application). I'll let you decide what it looks like, but I will need it by Sunday to ensure that the icon for the game looks good. Feel free to email me it or put it in the drop box since loss of quality will not be a problem.

ReplyDeleteNo worries Chica ;) We' missed you...
ReplyDeleteIf you have a game Idea you'd like to have added to the poll post it to the brainstorm page so we can read up on it and I'll add it in for ya :))
Have a good week!!
See you next Tuesday...
Nephi
Which day did we decide to meet on? and at what time?
ReplyDeleteTomorrow at 12:00pm I thought?
ReplyDeleteAre we all still meeting at 12:00pm in the library by that room?
ReplyDeleteI believe so. I'm ready for you guys to get some dialogue written so I can add it in the game.

Sorry I am not in class today. I am looking at a house with a realtor and putting in an offer. Wish me luck!

DeleteLet me know
Art assets for the second round of character is underway, however I don't have a ride to and from Trax at the moment so most likely won't make it in.
ReplyDeleteAre all the sessions you play in the game 5 mins long? Or are there options? I'm fine with 5 mins I just want to know.
