Week 7 & 8

We’ve been a little busy with work, but we finally have an update after a couple weeks. It’s been tough trying to incorporate a few new things into our game.

 First of all, we’ve added some new gameplay conditions. This meaning that we’ve finally been able to add some new levels! Using the addition of Shaders and Mudboxed textures, we are able to implement textures into our game rather than simply having solid colours of a particular shade. In one of our new levels we’ve added a fog effect which makes it harder for the player to see things like enemies and cars. Another new level takes place in a night time, where the shaders also take effect. This brings the players a new experience and challenge.

Another change that we’re currently working on in terms of the games features would be making the game move at a faster pace. We feel the players will be able to enjoy the game if it went a lot faster. The player can also choose to redo the level or move on to another level once they’ve completed or screwed up in the one they’re currently playing. A few new controls have been added assigned to a variety of different keys. Though they are little things, they are design elements that we feel will make the controls more user friendly.

Sound has successfully been implemented into the game and we believe the graphics needed a little touch up. While Ed and I have been working on the models, I have also created a Logo and a new texture for our farms grass. This new texture was created from scratch in Adobe Photoshop. We are currently still working on updating the model styles, though at the moment we are not finding it a huge priority due to the fact that we need to fix up the textures for some of our models. Over the next couple weeks near completion we plan to complete our animated cut scene and game trailer as part of our requirements. That’s it for this week.
