New assignments:
We are continuing to work on sketches, new ideas, and exploring programming ideas. However, we need to move to Unity to create a super simple sandbox. Making the game fun is essential. Unit movement, deployment and combat with simple shapes will be something for first playable.
- Strong controls
- Cobbling OK
- Spawning Units
- Sending Units to rally
- Assign Rally
Assignments:
Programmers: Start working with movement, shapes, and adding rigid bodies for collision.
Blake: integrate combat into unity
Adam: pathing and movement
James: interface control
Brenden: sandbox, spawning units, set up repository on google code
Artists: sketches, use maya to make simple shapes to import into Unity.
Max: Maya Models, Unity
Jack: Maya Models, sketching
Hayden: Maya Models, gameplay design, crazy ideas
Sky: Maya models, sketching
We will use Unity to test to see if this is FUN!!! Marty said our ideas have to be tested and FUN!!!
Please check the blog for the assignment post! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking for something along this line for the pre-alpha unit stats:
ReplyDeleteV.1: ATK: 2 DEF: 2
V.2: ATK: 1 DEF: 3
V.3: ATK: 3 DEF: 1
Mind that all three are variants of the basic unit.
I like where Jack is going with this. For the sandbox, I think we should design a quick combat mockup. We will have one wave meet another wave and see who wins. Each wave will have different units to check balancing. Also, units will be either be a cube, sphere, or pyramid.
ReplyDeleteI have posted the assignments for the Insanity sandbox. Please adjust if I have it wrong. Please have a new idea for gameplay due by Sunday!!! Were going to have a skype meeting on sunday at noon. Is this ok? Please let me know! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSunday at noon won't ever be a good time for me, last week I got lucky. I emailed everyone a new gameplay idea that I hijacked from Brendan, you should check it out and let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteCould we do a saturday meeting again? Or sunday evening?
Would everyone be good for sunday evening around 4 or 5?
ReplyDeleteThat works for me. Noon wouldn't work so well.
