Iteration 0 Presentation

By -
Today was our Iteration 0 Presentation, which didn't end up going quite as well as we had hoped.

However, there was a lot of valuable and valid criticism levelled at our project and how well we hadn't defined it. It must be said that Dan and I are not ones to ignore extremely valid criticism, so we immediately went back to the drawing board to see where we could improve the scope and core ideas of our project.

And within the last 5-6 hours we have done quite a lot of work to better define the scope and game play mechanics, which were our most criticised points. Along with working out a target art style and visual palette. More details regarding these choices will be coming shortly.

So in summary, during the Q&A of our presentation a lot of holes in our design and proposal were exposed but this was extremely beneficial to us as a group and to our project because we almost instantly started working on the fixing the holes to improve our project.

Regards,
Garth

Logo Design

Hey Guys these are the designs we have come up with for our logo.  Let me explain the logo. Our "Group" name is SnakeBite Ink. Yes Ink is meant to have a 'k' at the end. Why you might ask. Well because the name describes the group members. Garth has snake bite piercings and i (Daniel) have a tattoo (hence the Ink with a 'k'). So yea that's how we got to the name of our "group". Now on to the logo...If you look at the coiled up snake you'll see that the shape it creates is that of an 'I'. So the snake represents snakebite and the 'i' represents ink.  So yea that's what we have so far, changes might still be made to the logo - some 3D rendering and so forth. Enjoy the rest of your day Dan out

Progress Update #0002

By -
I know things have been quiet on this blog however, things have not been quiet in the background. I have been and still am reluctant to visually show the progress we have made, since currently we are using a lot of placeholder art simply to test out various elements of the game and the mechanics. So this post is less about showing visually what we have achieved so far and more about simply talking about it. Networking We have made many strides forward and a couple steps backwards with our networking. We got our networking to work over the internet with the usage of Unity's Master Server, which helps a lot. However, in order to get that working right we had to butcher our code a little bit which killed off local networking (it can still be done, it just uses the Master Server so it is not entirely local). Do not be alarmed as we are working to get local networking back in. We are currently working on getting the server browser up to a standard that is expected from any multip...

Monday Update #001

By -
We have decided to attempt to do bi-weekly updates, with each team member getting a day to write a post. Today is my day. So while we might have been quiet that does not mean we haven't made any progress. Over the past 2 weeks we have implemented 2D spritesheet/animation management, a Lua driven UI and most importantly basic multiplayer. We pushing to get a playable prototype to provide a base on which to work on and test ideas. With a playable prototype we will be able to better move forward with mechanic testing and so forth, this will help us avoid putting hours into attempting to perfect a mechanic only to find that it isn't fun or doesn't quite suit our situation. Depending on how things go this week, we will either have a video update at the end or some news. Regards, Garth
