9/21 Progress Blog

All: We all met on Friday 9/15 to further discuss a polished game idea and flesh out an end goal using the feedback from the class.

Mark: I compiled a list of what sounds we need and might need and got those sound assets. I also looked for music that can suit the game both really nice and happy music and heavy metal sort of music. Some sounds are still rough so I'm going through all of them and figuring out what needs to be edited for the next milestone.

Kelly: I fleshed out the turtle design more fully, and created extra sprites for his movements/animations. I drew about 7 or 8 separate frames for the turtle in total to help the programmer add movement to the prototype. I also created/drew a basic environment to help layout the game as a whole. And finally, I helped manage the team's time and assign tasks for milestone completion.

Justin: I programmed out all the basic interactions that we are going to have in the game, as well as some basic feedback for the player. Although it is really crude right now, I have implemented a few managers already that will allow us to easily iterate on the game in the future and make future iterations quicker to program. I also threw in some of the art and animation that has already been done we can get an idea of how our game is going to look. This is my FOURTH TIME writing this because BLOGGER REFUSES TO SAVE MY WRITING WHEN I CLICK UPDATE.

Adnan: I finalized character designs and got some assets completed so that we can begin fleshing out the prototype. Animations are rudimentary, but I have the keyposes for our child and zookeeper characters. We have one child character with standing and reaching poses, and the zookeeper with sleeping, alert, and awake poses.

Alex: Fleshed out UI design ideas (such as turtle interaction and where the placement of the interaction would be). Began writing an early mockup of what our splash home screen would look like, in addition to our instruction page.
