In the words of Rowen "cripes!". Things have been moving full steam ahead today and its only monday ! Sorted out alot of admin for our internal showing next week and various bits and pieces for Protoplay, still only feels like weve been here a few weeks. We got an email through today saying EA will be open on weekends starting as of this weekend which I can see us taking advantage of.Excitingly over the weekend Rowen managed to sort out our NPC generation script, so we can now import completely unique NPC's at the touch of a button (as long as their in multiples of 6 :) ) still its really awesome to see about 300 charaacters wandering along in a huge snake like line. He managed to get it into the island and working so now its a case of redoing the path map. Rich has also been pressing on with our new and improved camera and fire mechanic, the finer details of which we now have sorted. Simplicity is the key so we figured make it as easy as possible for the focus testing and then go from there. He also managed to sort out dynamic lighting which definitely makes things a bit easier for the guys art wise.
On that side of things today Dave has textured the majority of the main player character, if you've noticed a strange calm in the world today its because Ross has been taken out of action by some crazy virus. Hes all drugged up and will be back on the front line tomorrow ready to go toe to toe with some animations. Luckily our handy new target system has cut the volume of animations we need (ish). We also managed to sort various other bits n pieces such as creating a list of the all the names that our NPC's can use when randomly assigning names, and gathering as many 2D images for easy alpha making as poss.
Heres a nice pic!
