Showcase Review

As mentioned previously in the last post much of my time was spent finetuning and putting the script into the appropiate 3 line format but when that was done I had to do final checks on spelling and wording.

Then came showcase day which was the stage on which we were going to get feedback from a playable work in progress of Desperation.

The trailer proved to be extremely effective in catching peoples attention and was hailed a success

Despite a few minor errors in a few places the feedback was extremely positive for both the Ren'ai and the hack and slash and we now have a solid basis on which to continue our work and expand our ideas even further.

That being said "Desperation" did win the award for best games production.

With the majority of the game being done it's now a matter of just improving and possibly adding a few more things to turn it from "A work in progress" to "A finished Product"

We have already commenced work on the 2nd Desperation trailer and we will be looking at what more we can add to really bring it to the dance.

5 Days From The Showcase.

Monday 7th - Saturday 12th June

Times are busy now and it has been hard to keep the diary up to date. However since last time we have taken great strides of progress in getting the games sorted.

We have all the assets pretty much in place now for both the Ren'ai and the main game. Now we need to put our faith in the leaders programming skills to bring it all together.

There's not a lot to report on the story front since that was done a while ago so pretty much all I have doing is finetuning lines and added odds and ends.

That was until Wednesday 9th when I had to convert all my writing into a format recognisable by pygame which meant more time finetuning since pygame doesnt like apostrophies or ... etc

However as of today Saturday 12th that is all pretty much done and again its adding lines and dialogue to increase the time spent on the game.

It is also worth mentioning that our team started working on an idea for a trailer to show at the showcase which hopefully will work quite well. As for me well I have a Desperation T-shirt being printed for the occasion
