Senior Production
Post IX
This week’s post will be relatively short as I have little to show for it. I have been incredibly busy this past week with a midterm project for Mobile Devices and my Networking assignment. Add the fact that I was away for most of the weekend, It has left little time for Capstone. Not to say I haven’t done anything! This week’s focus since I have been busy in my other school work has been on planning for the upcoming weeks. The intent being to focus my efforts in the next two weeks before our upcoming challenge and hopefully our presentation.
We have recently been working on the design of the vertical slice level and what the shadow will be. Since we decided to make the shadow scripted (for the time being), Chris created some documents which outline the different scripted events, what they do and so forth which will be used to craft them. We have also laid out the features we want to try and have by the presentation which is coming ever closer. My primary focus in the coming weeks is patching up the inventory system to be feature complete. This includes fixing the game breaking bug which involves items/inventory and making it so items are limited. I will also be implementing reloading for the flashlight, functionality for voice over lines and most importantly some scripted events for the shadow.
I’m going to purposely leave this post short since there isn’t much else to write about. This week has been pretty bad for me in terms of workload and stress and there’s sadly been no time to do work on Capstone. This coming week will be a different story since we plan to challenge the proof of concept stage next week. This week is what i’m calling the calm before the storm, despite the fact that it is already a hurricane in terms of work. Tune in next week for more info on the stage challenge.
TL;DR:
- I planned my next two week’s priorities
- I did nothing else this week for capstone 🙁
- We are challenging next week
