Fallout

So third video is up - check it out .... HERE and see the sparks that could turn our peaceful Dare community into to a raging flame war.

The camera guys got some cutting in and chose to highlight Ross's well known opinion on iceworlds , along with a brief E-rebuttal on team Thresholds blog.
Nah they're alright :) good to see despite the presence of an iceworld the Threshold guys arnt taking it personally - For those of you unfamiliar with the e-phenomenon that is the cat .gif this probably just looks like a small dog, in a parka, using bad grammar (which it is) but in actuality it is sent to them as a kind of animal based reparation.

So other than a bit of E-diplomacy what else has been happening. After the Island-gate saga of last Friday we took the opportunity to have a bit of island redesign and apply some of the game design techniques we had been talking about. Ross has been constructing building blocks for the new natural barriers which means that we get to make the world a lot purdier so Dave will be able to go to town with some really nice texture work.

Other than that progress continued on the build - so now scenes are in and getting thrown at the right time and Rowen is cracking on adding in all the details to the core features. Rich is currently blocking out the mission structure into scenes and applying place holder scenes etc.

I also managed to compile an asset list for all the animations, stills and more importantly sounds that we will need for the finished prototype as well as hunting a few bugs that turned up during the day. Progress is going to seem a bit slower now as the majority of the games framework is in place, so its going to be a case of plugging in assets and building on what we have already. The devil as they say is in ze details
