After a 2 week break we’re back at it. This week another small update, by next week we will be running at full speed again.

Presentation ready

This week we will present our game to the people for the first time. A small introduction with some live gameplay is what we have prepared. This is presentation is a part of the course so we plan to make the best of like we did up until now.

To make everything presentable we made some small bugfixes as well as 2 characters have a full animation setup, with the rest coming next week.

Animation

Our animation artist delivered some great work for us this week. We have 2 characters fully animated to showcase. This includes: idle, run, attack and dance animation.

 Most important for us is that these animations kind of match the music of our game, since it’s so important for our concept.

Music

We know we are a little behind on the main concept of our game but that’s because what we ask of our in-game music is a difficult task. Right now we plan to have another song (maybe two) by next week and another one (or two) the week after, so we have four in total. If you’re interested in the music and you missed last week’s devlog click here (we showcase the first song there).

Bugfixes

Some of the feedback we received last time was taken into account and we tried to fix most of it. Like out of bounds movement or falling of the screen. Especially movement is something we’re still really worried about. We know we have some serious input lag when trying to play 2v2, but up until now we did not find a fix for it. We’re working on it though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So that’s it for our Easter update. We’re nearing the end of the production and are really happy with the result so far. Testing our game and leaving a comment on our page is greatly appreciated. We can take these comments into consideration while working on this gem. Keep in mind, each build we put online, in these weeks, is not a finished version of our work.

We look forward to hearing from you, and we’ll see you next week!

Group 12 out.
