Stuff That's Going On

Today we decided as a team that the Ghost Rig Guy is not necessary. This changes some of our game interface and gameplay stuff. Now going by Kim's current schedule all of the little things that need to be fixed are due in box.net in the Milestone 5 folder by Saturday at 3.

On to new stuff. We all discussed what is new for this week. We are now moving on to Level 1.

Artwork for this level includes: Tar Pits, Compys, Bug, and Thorn Bush

Sound includes: Background music, more jump sounds (2-3), tar pit noises, Earth Element pickups

Interface: In game interface: Lives, Earth Elements

Marketing: T-Shirt, Banner ad

Level: Final Blockout (consider what's going on for Tutorial Level)

Programming: Collectable Food, Sign that dino is about to dismount, stay on triggers.

Also for programming I will be optimizing some of the code. This will decrease some of the lag.

So all of this is due by Tuesday at 5. In the Milestone 5 folder (with the exception of Marketing). Remember to post what you are doing so that everyone is aware.


A few notes:

Remember to name new MovieClips differently.
Work with the game fla file so that all of the art matches perfectly. (The first time you see your art in game shouldn't be during critque)
Also we have an hour every Tuesday before it's due. If you care about if your stuff got in the game come over and talk to Justin and I.




AND REMEMBER!!!!! No smoking, and no flash photography.

  1. Let me know if the alert to tell the player that the Dino is about to dismount needs an extra animation, I can probibly just tweak the stun animation

  2. Tom I dont know if the new interface files I dropped in Milestone 5 folder need any name changes and I had planned on grabbing the game file from Kims folder but I forgot it today.

    Also I noticed that the file I got from Adrianna in Milestone 4 folder did not have the volume controls and the back buttons do not work? I did put in the art for the volume control but I do not know if it needs code? Let me know if I need to do anything else for these screens.

    Sorry for any inconvience. I really was freaked about midterms today so I was a little scatter brained. Thank you.

  3. The volume control is something the game takes care of, not the interface. That's why it's not in there. And the back button in Adrianna's folder won't work because I didn't touch that file.
