The game is looking good. That last 10% makes the difference between a 4.0 and a 9.0 on metacritic I swear. The focus is still on the presentation but every day we try to get a little bit more done on the game just to patch up any areas we feel aren't as strong as they should be.
They'll be tons of areas we'd like to patch up at the end, but what we get for final will still be something I personally will be very proud of.
Talking about packaging yesterday, and me and Johan aren't agreeing on it. Usually games are distributed in DVD type boxes made up to look like actual game boxes. Previous students have done an excellent job. Johan would rather try something new and distribute the game in one of those toy bags you get plastic dinosaurs with. I admit it gives it a new spin, I'm just concerned there will be some extra problems with it that we haven't considered. Johan wants Foamzilla to stand out from the rest. So he's going to mock the toy idea up. I will admit it would be cool to get one of those pills that turn into a dinosaur for it.
Johan and I have a good working relationship. We certainly don't agree on everything, but we are always great at working things out. I can tell if he feels passionately about something, and he can tell the same for me. And we both respect each other enough to try something that the other really would like to try. It wasn't all peaches and cream, but when this is over, it will have definitely been a pleasure to work with him, and I will miss it.
Here's some pics of the tutorial areas:
I don't know if I'll have any time to fraps some videos for the blog, although I REALLY REALLY would like to. Development has come a long way, and those ragdolls are just a blast!
- Mark out
