Week 4

Team collected pictures for final sprint of programming, started creating scenes for each one based on pictures.

Looking into inventory system, due to time constraints might ignore.

Week 4

This week was both productive and somewhat unfortunate. My phone got stolen and that got rid of all of the pictures we took last week. Fortunately, we were able to get everything done pretty quickly and since Mohammad was here this time, we were able to get some more props. I took all of the pictures we needed from Tom's house and we should be all set.

Development Week 4

During week 4 we focused mainly on completing and fleshing out our game story as well as obtaining all of the resources (ie. pictures) needed. For this week I helped complete the game story as well as assisted with obtaining our content. I have also worked on our game design document.

As next week will be our final week of development, we are planning to finalize our assets and polish our game as good as can be

Week 3

Like Tom said, this week involved a lot of taking pictures and making sure we had the assets to the game. The progression to the first part of the game was hashed out and many, many pictures were taken.

Development Week 3

In our third week of development, we focused on finishing up our engine framework and began to gather content and resources for our game. This week I mainly helped with obtaining pictures (my house being one of settings in the game) and generating the initial story progression of the game.

Week 2

Like Tom said, this week focused on the technical aspects of the game. We all got together and worked on ways to make the engine more extensible and readable (particularly with rooms, like Victor mentioned) and I assigned those features to members of the team. My assignment for this week was to implement CSV reading of room data so that it could be changed easily and clearly outside of the code.

Development Week 2

For our second week of development, we focused mainly on coding and enhancing the game engine's framework and foundation. I fixed a sound bug where sound continues to play when changing rooms. I also implemented a splash screen, main menu, pause screen, skippable cutscenes, and a framework for saving and loading via pickling (not working yet).

I'll update everyone with our progress again next week!

Week 1 - Victor

Played game and thought of content that I'd be capable of adding, mostly just a item menu, maybe incorporate a mini-map. I looked over the code and couldn't help but try to think of a better way to rework the structure of the code so that it would allow an easier implementation of "rooms" without making it harder to read (haven't thought of anything)

Week 1

Slightly delayed blog post, but this week was very productive in terms of organization. We decided what features needed to be added (subtitles, a history log, an icon to replay the current note, game waiting until audio stops before progressing, and a main menu) and talked a lot about content. We decided on ways to communicate and how we want to set up code and what our roles are. The code hasn't been changed yet from the prototype, but I anticipate that changing next week.

Development week 1

Hello all!

Week one has mostly been a brainstorming session for our group. This week I have helped with developing our overarching story line as well as ideas for the initial story flow. I will start to refactor and bug fix our code  next week.
