Week 5 – One week from BETA

Hello again everyone!

This week has been very interesting. Five out of six members have been sick the entire week. So we all worked from home, which was something we really did not want to do as working together increased productivity. But we were sick so there was not much we could have done about that. This all resulted in a low productivity from all the members but we still tried as hard as we could.

We have now pasted the alpha and are getting very close to GGC. My role in the group will change a little bit as there is not as much that needs to be designed, instead it is more important for me to help out with the programming. Because of the fever and headaches I have not been able to code anything, instead I spent my time to read and plan how I am supposed to create a minimap for our game.

I have also been helping our graphical artists with further designing the UI elements. For example we have a function where the player can sacrifice a bit of their resources to gain more knowledge of the guard movement patterns and their vision range. To sum it up, I gave my thought on the UI design and gave examples of how I had imagined it.

This is all I have been able to do this week, but we are all feeling well now. The coming week we will be back and will continue to work hard and prepare for the upcoming BETA.

Until next week,

Ara Mohammad
