Everybody keep it up.. 3 Days till we have to hand it in!!!

final

facebook cop ......

Guys need to know will this work bescause i am unsure of how the programing will work for this game ???? nearly there so delighted , Tunde and Gocky send me any animations you do, just with any graphics so i can then see what graphics you need for it for continuity. Eg. the chair dash intro, il get backgrounfd for it, then il do feet n stuffs,:)

Exams over, heads down..

With the exams out of the way, our focus is solely on completing the project, working on finishing off graphics for the games, programming the navigation, and gameplay of each game. Sounds and audio will have to be integrated shortly also, with the hardware well on its way to being completed. Its mainly just about tidying off and smooth running at this stage (not to mention loads of programming).

Sammy, Im going to send you on the games, and you design graphics for them, background, characters etc. and also design them for roughly a 550 x 400 screen, thats the resolution we are going with for now, until we decide what screen we will be using. (most likely much bigger)

Paul, when your done with the hardware, will you animate the instruction screens, go over the ones we have and polish them up, work with sammy if you need graphics. Then any other animations you can think of that we will need.

Tunde, work with Paul and the animations, and putting sound in them, I am sending you the games also, that way you can see what tempo's match the games, and what sound effects can be included for the games, we need a consistent style of audio throughout, intro, main menu, each game, and each intro for each game also. (maybe more) but start with them.

Im sending everyone a copy of the main programme so you can see how its laid out and what will need to be done, work with the time line, so go intro, main menu, game 1 etc.. so that you can see what work you must do. Also, this project is due in next Wednesday 25th May, so for one week, we must clear the scheduals and finish this off, we did really great work a couple of weeks ago before the demo, if we can do that amount of work again, we will be flying, seriously. So with that being said, I was talking to paul yesterday and we decided that we must come in next Monday and Tuesday, to sit with each other and discuss, I know its grand working by yourself, but communicating is the key, we work better when we are together. Also, the buttons I ordered came to a total of €35, so on monday, I will need to collect €8 off each of you please. Keep in touch, text, twitter, email, we are all around, so will be easy to get in touch. :)

Its only 2. More. Weeks... then its over, heads down till then :)

Progress

Hey guys we have made serious progress and well Done James you keep plugging away at that programming and we will be fine. Yea the demo went well and there was amazing work put in before it and it paid off so well done everybody!! Loving the buttons james. I have got 3 of the chairs done here is a picture..



Just one more left to do, the yellow one.. I have been experimenting on a fifth keyboard to see what its like and have discovered that it is going to be an awful lot harder than I though but I have one of my mates helping me and we think we have discovered a way of doing it!! For these experiments I had to buy different buttons and see which ones actually will fit.. These are the ones that we are going to have to buy...



Unfortunately they are €3.95 each and we need 16 of them It works out at €15 each and we also need to buy spray paint for the foot boxes and for the keys on the keyboards!! which a 5er will cover, so really sorry guys but this is the last thing that we have to buy.. So if possible could every1 bring in €20 tomorrow and I will go down and buy them buttons and order the spray paint.. Thanks..

On a lighter note we have an exam tomorrow and thursday so I understand that the next three days will be taken up by these! But it is really important that we keep working away at this project as it has to be finished in two weeks so we can start testing it!! We can meet up tomorrow for a little chat after the exam.. Good luck with your study.. :-)!!

Cheers

Demo over... Buttons arrived

Successful Demo last Thursday (5th may), a lot of constructive criticism that we can take on board and improve upon, graphical style, continuity, audio tempo throughout the games and introductions. We will discuss more tomorrow if we meet up for a quick chat, and decide what to work on next. I am currently working on the 9am Rush game, programming etc. and to my surprise, its actually easier that I thought. We gotta get some audio and graphics into it now!!

In other news, I woke this morning to find that the post lady brought me a present, now that we have all the buttons and an awesome footbox, we can duplicate these and have all the correct colours for each individual in game character... Things are looking up, just keep working.

Hardware

Today is our Demo Day and here are some pics to show you how where we are now on the hardware side!!

Main Menu Concept

The main menu will have the studentheadz in the title (with the same font as the logo, Chalkduster). The play button will animate into the middle, just lower than the center, paul, its up to u how its going to look, what shape etc. Use sammy's main menu design as the background, Tunde, help paul with the animation, then put audio, into it, make sure it fits in with the style and theme. Also, forgot to mention, get audio, sound effects for the intro screen also, thanks guys, get working on these for tuesday, plz try have these done, we are behind. Me and paul have been discussing new ideas too, we will talk more on tues bout them!!

PS. Everyone be in on tuesday, we have caroline at 11, so at least be in for that, then we are staying until we have some real progress with this project. See You all then

Intro screen concept

Guys, too much time has passed with no real work done, and if gocky didnt ring me there I wouldnt have realised myself! Sammy, send paul the StudentHeadz logo again, to make sure he has it. Paul, as we discussed, you know what to do, just animate it to your liking, either coming in from left, right, big to small etc. whatever... Its your call on it. Tunde, get in touch with paul and help him animate as well as doing the Audio

KEEP COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER!!
