Post Tech Demo

The Tech Demo went well. Our game seems to entertain people, so all we need now is to make more levels and polish it. Some things we need to accomplish before our game can be finished:

• Create finished art work
• Polish the mechanics
• Create start menu

Overall I think Gus, the hamster, was the #1 feature of the game. He is adorable.

Tech Demo

My partner and I have completed the first two levels for our tech demo. The art is not complete, but it is enough to work.
We still have an issue with running uphill. It still works but the player cannot hold down the forward key while going uphill. Slight bug, but hopefully we can resolve it soon.
We are going to demonstrate our demo tomorrow to prove that the game can be made. This is common in the industry to make sure progress is continually being made.

Character Design

Character design is a very important part of creating a video game. There are some important features that a sucessful character should have. Keep in mind that a character does not need to have all of these traits to be successful.

• Simple to draw (eg. Pikachu and Pac Man)
• Adorable (eg. Pikachu, Sonic and Mario)
• Cool (eg. Cloud, Master Chief, Solid Snake)
• Personality (eg. Lara Croft, Master Chief, Link)
