Team Pwnerer

Its not all SSMB here at Lucid Dreams HQ. Last night we managed to get in a few quick rounds of UT2004 CTF. Was really really cool being int he same room and allowed for team based epicness.

Some super awesome sniperage from Ross especially considering he'd never played it before and some solid back up from Col. Holt.... overall was awsome!

So what about today - had a bit of an admin frenzy and tried to stop Ross from going off on one when he discovered A) the presence of an ice world and B) Irish people commenting on our blog. He's already had at the Scots, next up the Irish, then who knows what - hell probably turn on us! Oh god - i can hear him typing now, should any of the other teams be reading this we cant control him.

So design wise came up with a few nice features to make our game more accessible, so now the info arrow highlights NPC's paths and colours them according to starsign. Whats nice is it makes life easier without being completely game breaking.

Deliverables wise - Rich managed to get some nice effects when arrows hit the ground, and looked into source control as well as began putting our first build together. No news at this point but it is one of those things that if you do wrong can have real bad ramifications (hence the need for source control)

Ross continued blocking out the island and adding stuff in as well as place holder textures with the help from Dave. Quite good from a production side of things, got my back log cleared from crazy design meeting week as well as documenting minutes and doing some research into protoplay. So basically the venue, what we need to provide, what we can / cant bring and began fleshing out some nice ideas for the stand.

Also managed to compile a list of all our required 2D assets as well as identifying all the storyboards and narrative stuff me and Dave will have to work on.

Oh and also got ourselves a QA template for when our builds up so we can get some feedback from you guys!

Overall a good end to a pretty mental week. Overall i give it 7 thumbs up !

More monday!
