I do hope we are all able to do some more work on the game over the break. I know everyone probably needs a week or two to decompress from the quarter and Josh will be off to Japan (lucky bastard) but if you guys want to try to arrange for an in person group meeting or skype conference to talk some more some time over the break, let me know.
Great job everyone and have a good holiday.

Wrapping Up

Ok guys heres somethings I have been thinking about that we should try to get done in the next few days to wrap up for the class.

0. Play test as much as you can, try to break the game
1. We need to get a collection of sounds for Thursday and play through all the sounds to see what fits and what needs to go
2. Animations need to get in and work appropriately
3. The UI work needs to be merged with the current version
4. Level tweaking or replacing of levels
5. Level times to give player ranking at end

Also can you guys test the spawning bug where you spawn too early? The controls need to be tested also, let me know as soon as possible if there are any buttons that do multiple things like move and shoot.

Some aesthetic changes

Some of the more aesthetic variables were changed and should make things look nicer in game when put in. A possible issue to this is that when the new titles and menus are put in, this may result in some missing blocks since one of the variables I changed was the fountains. I could go into it after and changed the titles/ menus so that they appear or we could create a separate object for the in game levels using the variables I changed and then assigning them a different ASCII key instead of 'F'.

Speaking of aesthetics, apparently...

Controls Reminder

If you guys would like to try different keyboard set ups remember that you can. When open the .exe file you will see a window that says Play! along with the resolutions above it. Above that there will be two tabs click the Input tab and adjust the controls to your liking. The only thing you have no control over is the arrow keys for shooting paint as that is hardcoded right now. So if you show someone this game and you shoot and walk at the same time, you need to change the controls because they default differently everywhere and I can not save them for you.

Work in Progress --- Sounds Coming Soon

Don't forget to put up your playtests.

I'll compile them Wednesday night/Thursday morning

Enjoy
