My Assignment
This week I had the team collect screen shots to inspire the look of the game. I mainly focused on finding screen shots for the world and platforms to give to Drew (our environment artist.) I also set up a drop box account so we could all share the work we've done and screen shots we collected, which has proven to be very useful. Finally, I typed the story outline and put it up on google doc. I feel that I achieved my goal for the week.
Extra
I played a lot of video games to get a sense of the art style for our game. In particular, I played Marumasa: the Demon Blade, which had a beautiful art style and was also set in Japan. The main thing that I liked was the platforms, the way that the characters run around on building roof tops. I'd like to emulate these platforms for our game.
We've run into some problems with design, particularly because no one seems to have a clear idea of how the game will work. I suggested to Russel (our team lead) that we put a few people in a design team to come up with levels and puzzles.
Next Week:
Help with demo video. Research games. Get the design team rolling.
