Group Project S2+S3

Group Project
~ Sprint 2 & Sprint 3 ~

So in the last two weeks of the group project we have done quiet a lot to the game and its really coming together, some might say it resembles a game.

We've now started to work in one weekly sprints to break down the work load over the month before the big presentation with all the tutors. I feel this system is working well for us as we can see improvements and bug's as we progress through the sprint instead of adding almost 4 weeks worth of work in one go then finding something is wrong in the last minute. 

Our group managers have organized a play test sessions today for the general public at the Uni and I'm very much looking forward to getting a lot of feedback from people that haven't played the game, provided its constructive feedback of course.

Due to feedback from tutors and other students that have already play tested we've made a lot of adjustments. Here just a small list of what has been changed, added, re worked and needed testing so far :-

  • Two Play Versions 
                       ( X & Z phase controls)
                       ( Space on & off phase controls)
  • Levels 1-10 implemented
  • Phase Power Bar Resets Upon Re-spawn
  • New Character Model
  • New Walking/Jumping Animations
  • Cloud Animation
  • Shooting Stars Animation
  • Tutorial Animations & Adjustments

Overall very productive so far over the last two weeks and I think our whole group feels the game is ready for public testing so we can start building upon what we have already and improve were needed. Please just remember this is a VERY early build to the game and we still have many more months to complete the project.

I leave you with the level art done within these two sprints for levels 5-10.
