Week 5 - return

Let's keep up the momentum!

Last class we saw some great team work! Seriously, very impressed how many people were learning the steps to:

Utilizing color palettes for uniform work
Elaboration on broad ideas and fine-tuning details
Save files in the correct format/size with clean naming conventions and submit their work
Install software and follow coding tutorials
Teamwork between otherwise quiet apt-to-work-solo students

This is how the magic will happen.

Small steps until our game will be a place where you can SEE all your hard work and efforts as a team.

Artists:

Great work on tiles, shards, and collectables!

We desperately need:

Animated movement for our main character
Trash monsters - at least one friendly NPC
Trash monsters 0 well, not so friendly, four varying leveled monsters (easy, medium, hard, final boss)
Expanded tilesets
Title design for intro scene - Wastelander
Collectables: Bananas, Screws, Stained/Sea glass (completed already: mushrooms and portal shards), monster parts after battle (brains?)
Heart display (will be used up to ten to show level stats)
Fridge, our games version of a chest
Inventory icon, backpack etc?

Animation

Tilesets

Character Design

Sound Designers:

Amazing walking trash-person sound! And stellar teamwork last week!

We still need the following:

Intro song
Garbled talking sounds - friendly trashmonster and human main character variants
Collectable sounds: fridge chests, shards, bananas, mushrooms - nutritious and poisonous variants, glass

BandLab - music for video game

Macro-project level SFX

Voice Clips

Storytellers:

Thank you so much for the collaborative teamwork! The docs are looking great!

Just want to clarify/confirm a few details:

Order of run-ins with NPC's or where the main player gets details for the story progression
Describe how/where/with whom a player will sell collectables
Describe how/where/with whom a player will upgrade a weapon, just money/shop exchange, or is there a crafting mechanism?

Developers:

Awesome work on the coding tutorial for adding arrow directions for our laptop players and working as a team to make sure everyone has the software they need! You can get together, watch these videos, and decide which you'd like to have as a tested, step-by-step, bite-sized tutorial next week. If you want a different approach/style for movement/inventory/health, find another tutorial video on YouTube and share it with your teacher so we can get the exact method you're hoping to learn.

Now is the time we can decide to spend more time on:

Fine-tuning the direction of the main character further
Adding inventory management/statefulness
Adding health management/statefulness
Adding money management/statefulness
Weapon equipment/management/statefulness/upgrades

Inventory

Health
