Week 6/7: Weekly Assessment

Dates for Meetings:
For this week, the team discussed their tasks during Tuesday’s lab (October 16th) and decided a further meeting was not necessary. We decided the game is to be created in Game Maker.

Each person had their own task:
• Art: Geri (levels, GUI) and myself (character art)
• Alpha: Scott and Darrell
• Research on mechanics of game (ex: fog of war): Jack

Accomplished this Week:
I have accomplished the following for this week:
• My main task was creating advanced concept art for all characters. I’ve developed artwork for the front, side (left and right) and back views for 10 of the 14 characters. They’ve been created digitally in Adobe Illustrator. See the images below for some samples.
• Started on very basic storylines for the characters.
• Sketched out poses for “throw” animation stills.

Tasks for Next Week:
My main task for next week is to continue working on the art, and in particular, the animation stills for the poses. I’ve set a self-deadline for the animation stills (Friday of this week) and will send them out to Scott to animate. I’ll also be transferring the levels sketches that Geri completed into Illustrator as well.
