BA2b Week 1

This week we were briefed on our project for this term. In teams of 5 we will be designing a highly polished playable game demo.

I joined a team with:

Mareike Rieger
Katie Wickens
Sarah Imperatori
Ciaran Mcguirk

Among us we decided on fairly vague roles, due to all but one of us specialising in 3D modelling. We created a Trello board for organisation which we have been using this week to keep track of short term goals.

I have created several low-poly assets to go in game, which we will texture soon. We have been making a joint effort on getting the minimum viable product finished this week; with which we've made considerable progress.

Our game is an endless runner, the player character is a pig running from animal testing. The player must flee downstream by jumping along wooden pallets and logs. These jumps will become more difficult as the player's game time increases. We will keep track of this using a timer at the bottom of the heads up display.

Our group is trying to keep the scope small for this project, and produce a complete, working and enjoyable small game of high quality.
